Yes, Zhong Minghuang was uneasy, fearing that the Black Dragon might have set a trap to eliminate Lu Hong. However, the Qilin is too important to Hua Country to be abandoned.
So even if it was a trap, Zhong Minghuang had to brace himself and send Lu Hong to face it.
Without any hesitation, Zhong Minghuang directly said to Lu Hong: "Even if you don't take on this mission, once it's reported to the higher-ups, they'll probably talk to me and persuade you to assist. So it's better to avoid unnecessary trouble. But you must be cautious; if you find anything different from what was expected, you can leave immediately. Be decisive. Your life is above all interests; you are now Hua Country's stabilizing force, and there cannot be any mistakes."
Listening to Zhong Minghuang's advice, Lu Hong nodded: "I will."
