Hearing Qin Shaofeng's plan, Jiang Su hesitated slightly before telling the truth.
"I have no way to leave the imperial palace. I already promised the State Lord that I would help him guard this land!"
Jiang Su dearly hoped to venture out with Qin Shaofeng. Not only would he broaden his horizons, he could also improve his own strength.
But a true man's word was worth a thousand pieces of gold. Since he had already given his word, how could he go back on it?
Qin Shaofeng understood Jiang Su's choice.
"We'd only be trying our luck by going out to search for the Blood Demon Pill, and we don't know how long the search will take."
"That's exactly my concern. If something happened and I couldn't make it back in time, it would be disastrous," Jiang Su said, voicing his thoughts.
"Then stay here and guard this place. With you protecting it, we can set out to search without worry. We can be considered dividing the work and cooperating!"
Hearing Qin Shaofeng say this and seeing that he had no intention of blaming him, Jiang Su let out a sigh of relief.
He still felt somewhat embarrassed.
"You've helped the Nanzhao Kingdom so much, yet now that you have something to do, I can't help with anything..."
Before Jiang Su could finish, Qin Shaofeng interrupted him.
"Don't say that. Whether you can help or not will have to be seen later. Besides, you can help me gather information. The imperial family surely has an organization that collects news from across the world."
Jiang Su's eyes lit up as he understood Qin Shaofeng's meaning. He nodded with a chuckle.
"Don't worry. Once I return, I'll tell the State Lord about this and have everyone keep an eye out for news
