Huang Ban then ordered men to escort the people from the various sects back, while he himself followed Ding Wei away.
Back in his room at Gapwatch Manor, Ding Wei walked over to the seat of honor, sat down, and gave an instruction. "Huang Ban, discuss with Xuan Yao how to divide the people from the various sects among the different departments. The Holy Venerable is waiting for an answer. Hurry up. I want to see the results before dusk."
"Yes!" Huang Ban accepted the order.
Xuan Yao joked from the side, "If we'd known this was how these people would choose, we should have handled it ourselves from the start. It would have saved us this wasted time."
Huang Ban sighed. "Mr. Ding had no choice either. Though time was wasted, at least we can give those above an explanation. The various sects acted recklessly on their own, so we had no choice but to make the arrangements ourselves. It proves we had no other intentions."
Xuan Yao nodded slightly, then asked Ding Wei again, "Mr. Ding, is there anything you wish to remind us about regarding the assignment of the various sects' people?"
After a brief silence, Ding Wei said, "Keep one thing in mind. As much as possible, do not let the places assigned to each sect's people overlap with that sect's own sphere of influence."
The two understood his meaning and clasped their hands together. "Yes!"
"Also, since Hong Gaitian and Qi Bisang have already drawn World Money House, let them go there. We can't let honest people suffer." Ding Wei could not help laughing after saying it himself. The awkward predicament those two faced was truly amusing.
Xuan Yao and Huang Ban could not help laughing as well, shaking their heads repeatedly. Huang Ban sighed.
