"Alright, we shall meet another day then,"
By this time, the County Magistrate had also lost the will to linger and hurried off following his steward.
Shopkeeper Yan glanced at the evening scenery, smiled faintly, and leisurely made his way back to his own tavern along the path.
…
The County Magistrate hurried back to his residence where a horse carriage was parked outside the entrance; it was the very one Shopkeeper Yan had given to the Fox Brothers.
Upon thinking of the steward's words that they had brought back several exceptional individuals, the County Magistrate couldn't help feeling delighted.
The Fox Brothers truly were his benefactors.
He worried about bandits harassing the people, and they helped him slaughter the bandits. He was concerned about the lack of capable men in the county, and they went out to recruit exceptional individuals.
Such benefactors, he must properly serve and honor.
