But Ki Qinyin simply smiled. "Dr. Xu, you don't need to think of our Northern Dragon Guard as being so destitute. Our daily expenses are indeed enormous, but thanks to the spoils of war, we still have access to a considerable amount of funds."
Xu Ke shook his head. "Even the greatest fortune can't withstand reckless squandering. If we buy a pile of Imperial Tomb Relics only for me to inspect them and find they aren't Dragon Essence Items, wouldn't that be a total waste of manpower, resources, and time?"
Ki Qinyin raised her eyebrows. "Worst case, we just sell them again."
Xu Ke gave a wry smile. "Let's stay calm, calm. If someone with ulterior motives were to report this to the higher-ups, it would inevitably cause trouble."
If the Northern Dragon Guard keeps doing this and the higher-ups mistake them for being involved in some clandestine operation, it's going to be a huge problem…
