With the threat gone, they encountered no more experts along the way, only some reckless mountain bandits at most.
Xu Guang didn't even need to take action; the people he brought with him were enough to deal with them.
At a post station over ten miles outside Chuannan Prefecture, Xu Guang met an acquaintance, Xiang Chunxiang.
The other party's face was full of smiles, bright and sunny, with clasped hands, "Elder Xu, my respects."
Since the news from Xu Guang reached Southern Sichuan, he had been waiting here, waiting for a full three days.
Xu Guang was neither too enthusiastic nor cold.
Along the way, he understood Wine Daoist's purpose of letting him affiliate with the Xiang Family; it was a safety net. If he didn't have enough strength, he would likely not secure the position of Steward in Southern Sichuan.
The Xiang Family was his last fallback.
The Xiang Family could gain a free Innate Elder and the benefits promised by Wine Daoist.
