Lu Chao nodded, instantly understanding that this was not just a reminder, but also a tacit approval.
"Thank you, Mr. Ji."
"Haha," Ji Lixian chuckled, a deeper meaning behind his words. "Rather than thanking me, you should thank the Alliance Country. Someday in the future, it will also need your protection."

Smiling, Ji Lixian ended the call. The light screen dissipated, and the potion room fell silent once more.
"It seems Mr. Ji might have already guessed a few things," Lu Chao thought to himself, shaking his head. The other party hadn't asked about Celestial Hunter, and this omission only further proved that he might have grasped the crucial point.
While he pondered, Ghost Element leaped up onto his shoulder. "YOO~~" It looked at him with ruby-like eyes, carrying a trace of confusion.
