Chen Tang hesitated, saying nothing.
He preferred a life of freedom.
Joining a powerful clan might provide a backing and a salary, but it also came with restrictions, making it impossible to leave at will.
Moreover, staying by Li Junqing's side daily made it inconvenient to do some things that couldn't see the light of day.
Li Boxiong asked, "Brother Chen, is there any difficulty or request you might have? Feel free to mention it."
"There's none,"
Chen Tang pondered, saying, "It's just that I'm a country person, used to being idle and not familiar with etiquette..."
Li Yan, seeing his reluctance, said, "There's no need to force this. I heard you saved Junqing once, and we will remember that kindness. If you ever need anything in Wu'an County, feel free to come to the Li Family."
"Thank you, Commander."
Chen Tang expressed his gratitude and, feeling it inappropriate to stay longer, took his leave.
Li Junqing watched his departing figure, feeling a sense of loss.
