Turning around, Bai Xi saw a man in a black official uniform striding toward her. He had a refined, scholarly air and righteous features.
The guards at the gate quickly stood at attention, bowing slightly as they greeted him. "Greetings, Vice General Zhang!"
The man nodded in acknowledgment and looked at Bai Xi, his tone polite. "Miss, may I have a look at the food container?"
"Of course! I came here to deliver it to you anyway."
Bai Xi handed the container over, watching him quietly, paying special attention to his hands. In truth, she was bursting with anticipation. She thought, "I'm about to open a mystery box. I can't wait!"
The man took the container, raised it high, and peered at the bottom.
On the bottom was a very hastily drawn mark. Seeing it, the man's expression changed drastically. He hurried back into the camp with the container, completely forgetting his usual polite etiquette.
