Upon hearing this, Li Yan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
Han Kun was indeed audacious.
Although there were unavoidable dealings between the pugilistic world and the court, in the eyes of the government, people from the pugilistic world always need to be closely guarded.
There were historical reasons for this as well.
When the Grand Ancestor of the Great Xuan Dynasty overthrew the Great Xing Dynasty, he had sought the help of those from the pugilistic world and even called the Sect Leader of the Maitreya Sect his sworn brother. Naturally, there would be wariness after the world was pacified.
Therefore, the court integrated the Divine Fist Association, suppressed the Maitreya Sect, and established the Captain Bureau to monitor the movements within the pugilistic world.
If someone from the court joined a pugilistic faction—even one of the orthodox sects—they'd be considered taboo, especially those holding official positions.
