Ji Ming did not immediately respond.
He naturally heard the meaning of promotion in Song Baiyan's words.
—He wanted him to get further ahead.
However, for someone who was used to being by Song Baiyan's side, he never forgot his duty—from the day he came to Song Baiyan's side, it was to protect Song Baiyan's personal safety, rather than seeking power and titles.
"The training in the military, ultimately, is just physical training." Ji Ming spoke, "If we want to compete physically, the Tan Palace doesn't lack special agents and bodyguards transferred from the military; as for other aspects, nowhere else can teach as much as staying by your side."
But Song Baiyan said, "With your current capabilities, being a chief guard is beneath you, and there's not much more I can teach you."
This sounded like he truly wanted him to leave.
"I am where I am today, all thanks to your cultivation, and to me, nothing is more important than your safety."
