After some pleasantries, Magistrate Liu invited Gu Xiaojiang and Gu Sheng to his manor for a private conversation.
Back at Gu's Manor, the villagers continued their gathering, celebrating this rare and joyous occasion.
In the manor, Magistrate Liu hosted a banquet for Gu Xiaojiang and Gu Sheng, where they talked about various experiences during the war against Chu Country and the recent developments in Canghai Prefecture.
Gu Xiaojiang and Gu Sheng also shared insights from their cultivation and travels, making the atmosphere lively and harmonious.
Midway through the banquet, Magistrate Liu suddenly mentioned, "General Gu, I heard you've recently acquired a Divine Artifact. Might I have the honor of seeing it?"
Gu Xiaojiang smiled slightly and took out a radiantly glowing treasure from his robes—it was the Divine Artifact he had obtained during the war against Chu Country.
Upon seeing it, a hint of astonishment flashed in Magistrate Liu's eyes, and he could not stop praising it.
