This order was relayed by a Seventh-Grade Martial Artist, so the Yongfeng County Magistrate received the order on the same day.
This left him a bit bewildered.
He had suddenly become the overseer of four counties, and even had a Seventh-Grade Martial Artist following his orders.

As for legitimacy, though unsure why, the fact that King Yong Nian had taken over Shuzhou had already been approved by the royal family.
But as a minor official, he focused only on results; King Yong Nian indeed had the authority to appoint or dismiss officials like him in Shuzhou.
"Master Yi, from now on, I, Ma Cheng, will serve as your protector."
Yi An was the name of the County Magistrate.
Meeting such a respectful Seventh-Grade Martial Artist, Yi An was somewhat unaccustomed to it; a Seventh-Grade Martial Artist held a much higher status than himself.
