Ning Xuan didn't answer but countered, "What, you have a problem?"
The bearded man stammered, "No! No! It's just... with our meager strength, once we reach the Imperial City, if..."
Ning Xuan cut him off. "The only reason this young master brought you along is that I'm afraid you'll leak my whereabouts!"

"Right, once you get to the Imperial City, remember to disperse the others! If you two perform well, I'll have someone find you later! Then you can follow this young master and enjoy the good life! You hear me?!"
"Yes, yes! Thank you, Young Master."
