After receiving permission from the Great Qi State Preceptor, Lu Hong and others stayed in the capital of Great Qi smoothly. However, Qi Delong still maintained precautions against them. Whenever they went out, there would always be soldiers from Great Qi following them, monitoring their every move, every word, and reporting it back.
Although they were quite dissatisfied with this surveillance, they didn't say much. After all, it was understandable that people were wary of them, and since they were on someone else's turf, it wouldn't be wise to provoke their host and face the consequences.
Thus, Lu Hong and his companions lived in the capital of Great Qi for about half a year. This half a year was wasted here, pushing Di Long and the patience of the Xia Clan to a critical point.
