Although it was a compliment, the smile on Ao Xi's face faded a little, "Military Advisor, it seems there's something else behind your words."
Military Advisor Yuan knew from Ao Xi's expression that he was displeased. Although Ao Xi usually smiled, Military Advisor Yuan knew his true nature and only spoke briefly. "I dare not, but the entire Black Wind Village relies on you, the village chief. I hope you take care of yourself."
