Earlier, after Wang Chen slew the Bloodthirsty Demon, he received a reward from the prefectural guard.
He was exceptionally promoted to Blood-Clad Guard Hundred Household, awarded a fine horse, a suit of armor, a saber, one hundred taels of gold, and additionally granted the rank of Demon Suppressing Captain!
To be fair, such a reward was already exceedingly generous, far surpassing the merit itself.
Wang Chen had only been a Banner Officer; there was still a Chief Banner between him and a Hundred Household. It was equivalent to skipping directly up a rank.
And the main reason Wang Chen received such a lavish reward was, in fact, his advancement to the fifth tier.
Even as a commoner, a fifth-tier Martial Grandmaster who joined the Blood-Clad Guard would be granted no rank lower than Hundred Household!
But as the issuer of the reward decree, Yao Peng had never expected Wang Chen to kill Huang Jue of the Soul Sever Spear on the road as well.
That achievement was far greater than killing a Bloodthirsty Demon.
The problem was that Yao Peng could no longer grant Wang Chen any further reward. Even as a Pacification Commissioner, he had no authority to elevate Wang Chen to a higher position.
How Wang Chen should be rewarded would have to be decided by the commanderies' guard, or even the central guard above them.
Yet in order to win Wang Chen over, the Pacification Commissioner wanted to do him a favor and let him state his own wishes.
When Yao Peng reported to the commandery guard and central guard, he would gain Wang Chen's goodwill for free!
A request?
Wang Chen's heart stirred—he did have something in mind!
Since Yao Peng had put it that way, Wang Chen did not stand on ceremony.
