Including Ying Honghua, the Heaven-Reaching Experts from the thirteen departments looked at Chu Qing in astonishment.
"Our main task is to protect her!"
Ying Honghua pointed at the woman from the Ministry of Works.
She was a repairer, capable of fixing shattered armor sets and divine weapons.
However—
Chu Qing smiled. "My task is to guard the divine weapons and armor sets!"
Ying Honghua...
The other Heaven-Reaching Experts...

The convoy set off.
The carts traveled swiftly. Though they could not cover three thousand li in a day, they could still travel a thousand li in roughly ten hours.
