"Xuan Pin? What are you doing here?" Li Huowang stared at the black shadow inside the other's red robe.
"The world is in chaos. The strength of the Official's Astrological Bureau must be united to weather this crisis. As the Heavenly Observatory, why can't I come to the palace?" Xuan Pin's broad robe floated as he drifted a little closer to them.
Li Huowang looked him up and down for a moment, then turned back to Gao Zhijian. "The Dharma Sect is definitely going to make a move soon. I'm a bit worried, so I came to check on things. How about this? I'll just live in the palace from now on and protect you personally."
Before Gao Zhijian could say anything, Xuan Pin cut in, "No."
"I wasn't asking you."
"We've already received your message. Rest assured, the Official's safety is protected jointly by the State Preceptor, the Military, and the Astrological Bureau. You can go back now."
