He felt he needed to clarify a few things with Shen Bai to avoid future trouble.
He couldn't quite gauge Shen Bai's temperament. If Shen Bai was acting on impulse and later came to regret it, the fallout would be incredibly difficult to manage.
His intentions were good; he meant nothing else by it.
Shen Bai shook his head. "You don't need to concern yourself with anything else. Nanxing Prefecture was leaderless before, but today, I, Shen Bai, have come to take the seat of Prefecture Chief. The Observatory now has its leader."
"The eight words, 'The imperial right to act first, report later,' are the standard by which the Observatory operates. Forget a Capital City; even if a high official from Xuanjing City itself wanted to make a move against me, Shen Bai, I would bring them to heel first."
After Shen Bai said this, Fang Hong didn't dare say another word. He just nodded quickly in agreement.
