The Great Sect fled in a rout, and Yunzhou symbolically gave chase before withdrawing.
After that, everyone gathered at the Prefectural Yamen with high spirits to discuss affairs.
Governor Wen, a deeply scheming official of the Imperial Court, now wore a rare full-faced smile.
"Young Master Lu, you are welcome to come to me for anything at any time, without the need for prior communication."
"Thank you for your favor, my lord."
In ancient times, high officials were not easily accessible and had to be contacted through various channels. Being given such treatment by the official meant he was held in high esteem.
The other officials and martial artists present also were in high spirits.
Defeating bandits was their duty, but killing Li Shoucheng, the rising star of the Great Sect... That was a great achievement indeed.
Although it was the Commandery Princess and Young Master Lu who directed the cannons, according to the rules, everyone would be able to share in the rewards.
