Chapter 215
The City God Temple.
Hall of the Civil Judge.
“This disciple greets honored teacher.”
Sun Zimu bowed respectfully toward the figure above.
A flash of divine light flickered from the shrine, and a middle-aged man materialized out of thin air. He wore the robes of a civil official, with three strands of long beard and an elegant, scholarly appearance.
Compared to thumb-sized Sun Zimu, he was considerably taller, roughly the size of an ordinary child.
Smiling, he said, “It is rare for you to come see your teacher in person. Is there some urgent matter? Normally, you could simply send an underworld soldier with a message. If the Day Patrol Deity catches you neglecting your post, you may be charged with dereliction of duty.”
Sun Zimu shivered instinctively. Clearly, that was no minor offense.
But he quickly regained his composure.
