"When did the Red Lantern Society become so generous?"
Looking at Manager Xu's serious and earnest face, Hu Ma was momentarily stunned.
Normally, Manager Xu couldn't make such decisions, especially with the Incense Burner and the Red Lantern Lady right there with him. However, the Incense Burner usually ignored these mundane affairs of the society, and the Red Lantern Lady cared even less. Manager Xu immediately realized this was a good opportunity and, without even needing to return to the city for instructions, settled the matter right in front of the Red Lantern Lady.
Of course, even if he had wanted to seek instructions, there was no one to ask. Great Incense Master Zheng was missing, and the position overseeing such affairs was vacant…
For a moment, Hu Ma was overjoyed, and Manager Xu was quite pleased as well.
Even the lantern held by the Incense Burner seemed to finally relax, quietly extinguishing as the Red Lantern Lady departed.
