"A decision?" Su Chen paused, suspicious. "What decision?"
"It's nothing. First, let's see if you'll be acknowledged." Xia Hanshi shook his head, not elaborating.
Seeing that Old Xia was unwilling to say more, Su Chen knew it was pointless to ask. He noticed that Xia Hanshi's exposed, withered skin was covered in scars.
"Just a careless injury from a few Deceitful God's Followers." Xia Hanshi said it casually, but Su Chen knew that any situation capable of injuring the Chief Judge had to be extremely dangerous.
"In that case, you must get some proper rest," Su Chen said, seizing the chance. With Old Xia gone, he always felt insecure and had to be careful about many things.
Xia Hanshi glanced at him. "Now that I'm back, I don't plan on leaving anytime soon. I need to guard the Judicial Court for a while."
"Guard?" Su Chen faltered. 'That word seems a bit unusual.'
