Chapter 51 - 051 Top Doctor Treats Before Illness
"City Lord, the newly recruited Hidden Guards are on the street, play-acting with the staff of the Chef’s Divine Food Stall. Sometimes they pretend to fall, sometimes they feign blindness while crossing the road, and other times they pretend to choke on food, needing someone to pat it out. They are all behaving erratically and making fools of themselves... In my opinion, they are no longer suitable to continue as Hidden Guards."
In the City Lord’s Mansion, a plainly dressed, true Hidden Guard reported his observations to Xu Longyun. While describing the scene, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Obviously, the Players had seriously insulted the profession of Hidden Guards.
Xu Longyun was silent.
"City Lord, in my humble opinion, all of them should be expelled from the City Lord’s Mansion." Seeing that the City Lord offered no response, the Hidden Guard gritted his teeth and continued, "Otherwise, if we let them continue their foolishness, they will eventually bring disaster upon the City Lord’s Mansion."
How could I not know!
Xu Longyun sighed lightly. "There’s no need. Let them stay in the City Lord’s Mansion. Continue to instruct them properly."
"City Lord, I know their aptitude is excellent, but..." the Hidden Guard argued anxiously.
"There are no ’buts’." Xu Longyun recalled the night talk she had with Lin Bai that day and subconsciously used his words, "Even a wooden stick or a toilet stick has its uses, let alone a group of living people."
"..." The Hidden Guard was silent for a moment, then said, "It was I who was being narrow-minded."
"Monitor all the actions of the Players. If anyone commits crimes or disturbs the populace, immediately imprison them and punish them severely." Xu Longyun changed her tone, "Identify those among them with good character, incorporate them into the Government Officials, and, when necessary, order them to apprehend criminals."
"Yes." The Hidden Guard responded, his gloomy mood finally lifting somewhat. He hesitated for a moment. "City Lord, are we still keeping an eye on the Chef’s Divine Food Stall?"
