The county magistrates hadn't rested until the goddess returned. They were worried because, since the goddess had come to their area, she had never taken any action on her own. They weren't worried about the goddess's safety, but they were afraid that she would abandon them and leave on her own.

Tang Yue saw that a group of county magistrates were waiting outside her tent, and since she also had something to say to them, she decided to speak directly.

"Since no one is resting, let's sit down and listen together." Battalion Commander Yang and his men tactfully led the Chinese soldiers away. Although they fought together, the Yue Kingdom's forces were always separated from them in peacetime.

Battalion Commander Yang was also worried that they were overthinking things, and at the same time, he didn't want to cause any trouble that would put Tang Yue in a difficult position.

Tang Yue's gaze swept over the dozen or so county magistrates. "I know that the government of Bianyue has been sending people to see you recently. I also know their purpose."

At this point, the county magistrates, led by Ruan Wenxiong, immediately tensed up. Ruan Wenxiong was about to say something when Tang Yue stopped him.

“In any case, you are all people of Bianyue. Although I don’t like your government’s actions, I don’t belong here after all. I have already taught you what I needed to teach you.”

Seeing all the county magistrates looking at Tang Yue with tense expressions, Tang Yue smiled sweetly. This was probably the first time she had smiled so heartily since arriving here. The county magistrates immediately lowered their heads.

Tang Yue continued, "Today I have found my two protectors. Now that I have done what I needed to do, I will soon return to the Heavenly Court. So, whatever path you want to take from now on is up to you."

Ruan Wenxiong could no longer hold back. He looked at Tang Yue with hopeful eyes and asked, "Goddess, are you leaving?"

Tang Yue nodded, "All good things must come to an end. I don't belong here to begin with, and I've already lingered here for far too long in this mortal realm. Now that I've found my two protectors, I will help them complete their mission, and then I will leave."

County Magistrate Chen of Xiangxi County understood the meaning behind the goddess's words. He immediately asked respectfully, "May I ask, goddess, what missions have your two protectors yet to complete? Your servants are willing to help."

The other county magistrates also expressed their willingness. They were willing to do anything for the goddess.

Tang Yue gently shook her head, "This matter is extremely dangerous, far more dangerous than the current battle with the small American army. I have witnessed the hardships you have endured and do not wish for you to be involved again."

If you can continue to work together as unitedly as you do now, then few in the Yue Kingdom will be able to harm you. As for what I intend to do, you should no longer participate.”
