"Zhan Beiye, have them fetch water, and gather wood too, the more the better."
Only after An Jiuyue had almost finished the medicine refinement did Qian Jiyun speak to Zhan Beiye. In fact, there was water in his space ring, and An Jiuyue's space ring had it too, including wood and such.

Since these guards had nothing to do, he might as well give them some tasks to busy themselves with, fetching water and collecting wood, enough to keep them occupied for a while.
"The more the better?"
Zhan Beiye looked at him, somewhat puzzled by his words, and asked.
"Yes, whenever it's enough, I'll tell you to stop," Qian Jiyun said with a faint curl of his lips.
"As for the water, I don't care how they store it, just that the more, the better. They aren't idle, just busy gossiping, so let's give them even more to do."
"Alright, got it."
Zhan Beiye signaled to him.
