They then dispersed the remaining escort masters and servants, heading north to the Imperial City. Although Lin Zhenan didn't have impressive martial arts, he had a broad network. Through their connections with officials, they established contact with the Beizhou Royal Family and offered the Exorcism Sword Manual.

As for the Beizhou Royal Family, after obtaining the manual, they indeed trained a few eunuch experts, but that is a story for another time.
