Everyone knew about Yun'an County Lord's mission, but they also knew the Provincial Governor's Office couldn't carry it out itself. The only way was to have someone seeking to join the Provincial Governor's Office take it on.
The difficulty was that ordinary people didn't have the guts, and those who did lacked the strength.
Although Chen Changan and the others had returned, carrying a bundle already stained red with blood, plenty of people still didn't think they were capable of completing the mission.
After all, the other side still had a hundred Household Soldiers protecting them.
Even if they were all only at the Immortal First Heaven, a hundred of them together weren't something one or two people could handle.
"You're back?"
"Did you... complete the mission?"
The Third-Rank Inspector who had received Chen Changan and the others when they first arrived came over, his face full of surprise.
He hadn't expected Chen Changan and the others to be so quick, much less that they could actually complete the mission.
"We did our best."
"This is Yun'an County Lord's head."
"So we passed the assessment, right?" Chen Changan asked with a smile as he handed the head to him.
The man accepted the head Chen Changan held out, looking dazed. His mind didn't seem to have caught up yet.

"All right."
Chen Changan nodded, then followed him to meet the Provincial Governor's Office's Inspector once more.
"So soon?"
"You completed it?"

"It's done," Chen Changan said with a smile.
"This... good. Come with me, then."
Huh?
Chen Changan and Mu Yunyao exchanged helpless glances,
