"This esteemed official of the Observatory, Lu Zheng of White Cloud Temple greets you!"
"Hm?"
Li Zhongzhi was about to return to the city to hand over his task when he suddenly heard a transmission in his ear.
"Lu Zheng of White Cloud Temple? Bearing a mundane surname, an Outer Disciple?"
Li Zhongzhi turned around to see a scholar in green robes sitting by a side path, waving and smiling at him.
