Ren Qing had been away from home for over half a year, so it was normal for him to have changed significantly. He figured his old, frail mother at home would be unable to tell.
Besides, his predecessor had been a man of few words with a rather withdrawn personality.
Ren Qing mentally calculated that with a Cultivator's speed, it would take a little over an hour at most to reach Eight Characters Village. He might even be able to make it back on the same day.
Song Zongwu then seemed to recall something and said, "Aside from missions, you'll receive a monthly stipend of Blood Crystals once you officially become a Forbidden Guard."
"At least another year..."
Ren Qing's mouth twitched. If not for this restriction, he might have taken the risk of exposing his Ghost Envoy Realm Taotie Technique.
"If you had the approval of three Yin Messenger Realm Cultivators, it wouldn't be so troublesome."
'Three of them, huh.'
