Chapter 68: City Guard's Mansion and Conflict

On their way back, Xu Guang ran into an acquaintance. It was a stretch to call him that, as they had merely crossed paths a few times and were just familiar faces to each other. The man appeared to be around forty years old and possessed an extraordinary, scholarly elegance. In this world where martial prowess reigned supreme, intellectuals of his kind were a rare sight. Xu Guang had a deep impression of him and greatly admired his speech and demeanor. This was the exact same person who claimed to be a staff member at the City Guard's Mansion, the one who had told Xu Guang the location of the complaint box.

Xu Guang chuckled. "Greetings, old sir. Out for another stroll, I see."
