After returning to Heavenly Snake Mansion, Tang Chen summoned Lu Yan alone.
Lu Yan came before Tang Chen and bowed respectfully. "My lord, you summoned me?"
"After I leave, keep an eye on someone for me. His name is Xiao Yan." Tang Chen handed her a portrait. "There's no need to watch him too closely. Just keep a general idea of his movements."
"Yes." Lu Yan accepted the portrait with both hands and respectfully acknowledged the order.
Tang Chen nodded and gave her several other miscellaneous instructions as well.
There were not many major matters left. He had already claimed nearly all the opportunities worth taking on the Northwest Continent, and only the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva remained beyond his grasp.
Even so, Tang Chen was not entirely at ease. The Northwest Continent was simply too bizarre; who knew whether other opportunities might still be hidden there?
Therefore, he needed Lu Yan to keep constant watch over developments on the Northwest Continent. If anything significant happened, he would be able to learn of it immediately in the Central Plains.
With Lu Yan's strength and Heavenly Snake Mansion's influence, she was perfectly suited to serve as his eyes on the Northwest Continent.
Lu Yan naturally treated Tang Chen's orders with the utmost respect. Everything she had achieved today was thanks to his help. Without Tang Chen, let alone advancing further, even surviving would have been nothing more than a dream.
Thus, she committed every one of Tang Chen's commands to heart and did not dare neglect a single detail.
"There's nothing else. You may leave." After giving his instructions, Tang Chen waved her away.
After Lu Yan departed, Tang Chen dismissed all the servants. Rather than seeking out Xiao Yi Xian and the others, he comfortably slept alone for a while.
