"Protector-General?" Xie Tian's blood-filled eyes narrowed.
"Lord Xie Tian, don't you know? At today's grand assembly of the divine halls, His Majesty decreed you to be the third-rank Protector-General, free to move within the Divine Palace..."
Promoted? Xie Tian thought for a moment, returned a salute to the guards, and stepped into the Divine Palace.
"Shen Shao wants to keep you, what do you think?" The Xie Blade lightly quivered.
Xie Tian paused, his brows furrowing as he asked, "Xie Blade, has something happened?"
"Nothing. Just curious."
"Curious..."
