"If it were only you, there wouldn't be a problem."
Yu Xin smiled. "But do you know what sort of situation the Burning Heaven Army Department would fall into if you left Great Yue?"
"I'll make arrangements myself." Wei He replied blandly. "You needn't worry about that. Compared to this, I'm more concerned with what exactly you've been doing here in Rongyang City."

Wei He narrowed his eyes, faintly sensing that something was wrong.
