"Protect whom?"
The Young Leader asked.
"Me."
The man pointed to himself.
The Young Leader chuckled lightly and said, "The Celestial Horse Escort Agency doesn't take on just any job. If we're to protect someone, they must indicate their identity and background first. We can't afford to harbor some villain from the Profound Celestial Sect and bring trouble upon ourselves."
The man said nothing but lifted his straw hat slightly, revealing a young and pale face.
The Young Leader glanced at him and was suddenly taken aback!
"It's you..."
The Young Leader began to speak but realized that this was not the place to converse. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed the man's arm, and pulled him inside the Escort Agency.
"Escort Du, could you check around to see if there are any hidden scouts or tails watching us?"
The Young Leader instructed, glancing around to ensure no one noticed before closing the agency gates.
Escort Hu looked puzzled and asked, "Young Leader, do you know him?"
