The Real Purpose

"They are my personal guards," Han Sen said.

So far, they only had Deep Blue Viscount's word that the lotus roots could suppress the mark. Until it was confirmed, Han Sen wasn't willing to let Xie Qing King and Gu Qingcheng take any risks.

Captain Wood frowned and said, "This is dangerous. It is best to get this done as soon as possible. You should get over there and start digging."

Han Sen looked at Captain Wood and said, "In that case, why don't you guys go and dig, as well? You are guards, too, isn't that right?"

"How dare you! You cannot compare us to them!" exclaimed an infuriated Marquise.

Captain Wood looked at Han Sen darkly and said, "They are guards, but they have a different master."

Han Sen understood Captain Wood, but he didn't change his mind about anything. He said, "It is different, but I think mine are more important than you are. Dig it up if you want, but I will distribute the work of my people how I choose to."
