Chapter 46: Who is the Bait?

"Prefect." Pei Xuanjing greeted Gu Ji with a fist, his demeanor neither cold nor warm.

"We respectfully greet the official." The attitude of Gu San and others was much more respectful.

Gu Ji nodded to Pei Xuanjing but did not hurry to speak with him.

Instead, he turned his sights on Gu San and others behind him. Upon realizing the absence of Gu Da and a few others, he understood implicitly, but he simply sighed with a slight regret, "You have worked hard this time."

"We are willing to do anything." Gu San and others replied.

Gu Ji nodded and gestured to someone beside him to meet with Gu San and others. Only then did he take a few more steps and come into Pei Xuanjing's presence.

"How was your trip?" He asked straightforwardly.

A hint of a smile appeared on Pei Xuanjing's face as he pulled out a strange orb from his chest, "I completed the mission."
