Chapter 428 – Cultivating the Purpleback Bluewing Ants

Steward Xu Sheng hadn’t been himself recently . He rarely went out on patrol and delegated duties of interrogating prisoners . He would lock himself in his room for entire days, and when he occasionally came out he would seem to be in a trance .
