Li Banfeng laughed. "You really don't have a good eye for people. Why would you pick someone like Xiao Zhenggong? Does he have substantial influence in Puluo State? How many people there are willing to pay attention to him?"
Liao Zihui tapped his finger on the table and sighed. "We also wanted to find a more suitable candidate, but such people may not be willing to cooperate with the Outside Provinces."
Li Banfeng's tone was slightly mocking. "So you're not picky anymore? Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can be a Balancer? If there's a conflict between the Outside Provinces and Puluo State, do you think Xiao Zhenggong can solve any problems? Just relying on those few good-for-nothings from Jiang Xiang Gang?"
"If the conflict arises in Puluo State, I believe we would have proper ways to resolve it. But if the conflict is within the Inner State, having someone to mediate would be very significant."
