No one retreated, but Zhao Xing acutely sensed that five of the seven people showed extremely subtle soul fluctuations, while only two remained as usual.
Ji Che closed his eyes, and after a brief silence, he waved his hand: "Wang Tianzhi and Ling Tianchen will stay, the rest of you may leave."
The remaining five looked at each other, then turned to Zhao Xing.
Zhao Xing spoke:
"His Majesty did not choose you five, not because he looks down on you or thinks you cowardly, but just selecting who is more suited for the Guardian's duties."
"Wait outside."
Upon hearing Zhao Xing say this, Lu Xia, Xiao Yun, Han Qing, Chen Yu, and Yun Ze could only bow and leave.
The hall suddenly only had Wang Tianzhi and Ling Tianchen, along with Ji Che's avatar and Zhao Xing.
At this point, Ji Che found it difficult to make a decision.
From entering the Returning Ruins to the present, both had performances suitable for assuming this duty.
