"You're back."
Liu Li, the Vice Commander of the Divine Mansion Army in charge of patrols, laughed heartily when he saw Hu Ben return. He waved his hand, and a squad of Divine Mansion Army soldiers came forward to take the reins from Hu Ben's hands.
Gazing at the cart, which was packed with Spirit Medicine, Liu Li's smile widened. "This will last us for a good while. Well done, Commander Hu."
Hu Ben waved a large hand. "It's what we're supposed to do."
The two men walked arm in arm into one of the outermost courtyards.
Like a thief, Hu Ben pulled a bottle of aged wine from his robes.
Liu Li's eyes instantly lit up.
Back in the Divine Mansion Army, he and Hu Ben were the kind of men who couldn't enjoy themselves without wine. This period of abstinence had been killing him.
The two exchanged a knowing smile.
...
「Late at night.」
Except for the torches of the patrolling Divine Mansion Army soldiers, the Divine Mansion Sect was shrouded in darkness.
