Shuimo retorted, "The Lingge Sub-Branch only has a few thousand people. Compared to the Saint Monarch's safe return, which is more important?"
Huangfu Song: "???"
'Ah, this...'
'You... The operation I've spent decades building... you're ready to throw it all away just like that?'
Huangfu Song's mind was in turmoil.
Shuimo said lightly, "Once the Saint Monarch reclaims his position, you will have performed a monumental service. With me putting in a good word for you, you'll forever be the First Dharma Protector. As long as the Saint Monarch wills it, what does a mere Lingge Sub-Branch matter?"
Huangfu Song was dazed for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! Leave this to me!"
Though Shuimo's words were infuriating, he couldn't deny the logic in every single one.
