"We truly have Mr. Ye to thank for today."
Returning triumphantly and having garnered tremendous popular support, Song Tingye's face brimmed with smiles as he warmly grabbed Qi Xiu's arm and invited him to take the seat of honor.
"County Magistrate, you are too kind. It's only right to be faithful to what's entrusted to me."
"It's just that something held me back tonight, and I couldn't make it in time; I hope you will forgive me."
"Eh, it's nothing, nothing. If Mr. Ye hadn't been here tonight, I would have suffered heavy losses," Song Tingye said, waving his hand with a look of immense relief.
Had Ye Wen not arrived in time tonight, he would have had to abandon the Hibernating Dragon Cultivation Skill and take action himself. As a result, the time to enter the Initiate Realm would have been delayed by a full year. A step behind, and you're behind at every turn. The loss would have been massive.
