The butler's expression softened slightly when he saw that Lin Zao had finally remembered who he was and was being so polite to him.

He looked at Lin Zao and nodded. "Young Master Wang, where did you come from to return to Luolin? I haven't seen you for a while now."

Lin Zao: "After leaving the prefect's house last time, I went back to my hometown. I am very grateful for the prefect's gift, otherwise I would have been ashamed to go back to see my parents and relatives."

"I only came to Luolin this time because I had something to do. I didn't expect the steward and his family to still remember me. I am truly flattered."

Lin Zao's compliments pleased the prefect's steward greatly. He coughed twice before explaining his purpose:

"I never expected to meet Young Master Wang here. It must be fate. I have some news to share with you, Young Master Wang."

After the butler finished speaking, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

Lin Zao raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What news is it? Please tell me, Steward."

Then Lin Zao poured a cup of tea and handed it to the butler, saying, "Please sit down, Butler."

The butler then sat down opposite Lin Zao and whispered to her:

“My master is currently recruiting some heroes from the martial arts world. With Young Master Wang’s skills and wisdom, if you are willing to come, you will surely be treated as an honored guest by my master.”

Lin Zao pretended to think for a moment, then asked, "What does the Prefect need us to do?"

"Has Young Master Wang heard about what's happening in the capital?"

Lin Zao's heart stirred, but she nodded without showing any emotion.

The prefect's steward smiled knowingly and continued, "My master is recruiting many skilled people precisely for that matter. Young Master Wang should know what a great opportunity this is; many people would love to have it but don't have the chance."

"Of course, if Young Master Wang has any ideas, my master will definitely welcome you, after all, Young Master Wang is the savior of my young master."

Butler Wang smiled meaningfully at Lin Zao, as if Lin Zao would definitely not be able to resist the temptation and would ask him to recommend her.

Lin Zao lowered her eyes and said in a low voice:

"Thank you for your consideration, Steward. However, I have come to Luolin to deliver a message to a relative. I need to go there first and cannot leave at the moment..."

When the steward heard Lin Zao refuse, he was a little displeased. He felt that Lin Zao didn't know what was good for her and didn't know how to seize such a good opportunity. What letter could be more important than a treasure map?

Just as he was about to turn hostile, Lin Zao changed the subject:

"However, it will take me at most five days to deliver the message back to Luolin. I wonder if Your Excellency will need any skilled men by then?"

The butler swallowed the curse that was about to be uttered, his face turning pale and then flushed for a moment before returning to normal.

"Of course we need it. We would be extremely happy to welcome Young Master Wang. However, you'd better hurry, as my master will be setting off with his entourage in 10 days. If you miss this opportunity, you won't have another chance like this..."

Lin Zao's face showed an excited and happy expression:

"Thank you very much, Steward. If you hadn't told me this news, I might have regretted it for the rest of my life. If I really get something good, I will definitely not forget your share."

Lin Zao hinted to the steward that if he obtained any treasures, he would share them with him.

Upon hearing this, the butler's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery and disdain for a moment, before quickly returning to normal.

"Thank you for remembering me, Young Master Wang. I wish you great success. In that case, I'll take my leave now and not disturb your breakfast any longer."

Lin Zao: "Thank you for your hard work, housekeeper. See you in a few days!"
