Xu Jing hesitated for a moment, stepped forward, took it, bowed, and said, "Thank you, Pavilion Master."
Zhang Yan conversed with him a few more sentences before addressing the main topic, "Summoned you here for one matter; even though there are patrol disciples outside the Mingcang Mountain Gate, it is still difficult to guard against the prying of the Demon Sect. Hence, I intend to place a hundred Dharma Platforms within a thousand-mile radius, and this task is entrusted to you. Whatever you need, you may go and tell Jing You; he will arrange it for you."
Xu Jing solemnly accepted the order, saying, "The little Daoist will certainly be diligent and will not disappoint the Pavilion Master's generous favor."
Zhang Yan slightly nodded, waved his hand to dismiss him, and after repeatedly pondering, thinking at least there were no oversights for the time being, he went to the couch to sit and meditate, waiting for tomorrow's banquet.
