The Hemp-robed Elder took the token from the First Elder and his brow furrowed slightly.
He looked the First Elder up and down, saying, "First Elder, do you not trust me?"
The First Elder shook his head, "If I didn't trust you, how could I give you the token? I'm just worried that something might go wrong."
The Hemp-robed Elder thought about it and seemed to find the explanation reasonable.
So he put away the token and said, "I'll head back right away."
Having said that, the Hemp-robed Elder turned to leave.
At this moment, the First Elder suddenly said, "Sixo, accompany them."
The man called Sixo immediately stepped forward and said, "Yes, First Elder."
An unhappy expression suddenly appeared on Hemp-robed Elder's face.
Sixo was a trusted confidant of the First Elder, and sending him to follow along clearly meant he wanted to monitor the Hemp-robed Elder.
