In the main hall atop Celestial Gate Mountain, Lechuan sat on the high seat. Hearing Fang Qingyuan's alarmed words, he pressed his fingers to his temples and consoled him.
"Don't worry. We're short-handed these days, and there's much to be done. For now, you can temporarily take the post of Sea Patrol, responsible for managing the tribes and clans south of Celestial Gate Mountain. When my disciples return from Zongshan, it won't be too late for you to step down."
Tianshan Villa originally had only one Sea Patrol. Now, Lechuan wanted to add four more, stationing them around Celestial Gate Mountain. Fang Qingyuan was the one Lechuan had in mind for the new southern post.
Since Lechuan had put it that way, Fang Qingyuan didn't dare refuse any longer. Besides, the post of Sea Patrol was quite a desirable one.
The Sea Patrol was responsible for investigating official matters and mediating disputes, a role somewhat like a police officer in modern society.
