Lotus of Heaven and Earth

The same mountain, same waterfall, same pavilion, and the same people. However, the atmosphere was a bit different. 

The left-wing advisor was still trying to cope with the changes, just like the many generals and their lieutenants on his side. As for Roxfield, he sat on his high chair in a new set of regal clothes, his aura restrained so much that even the noise of the crashing waterfall washed over the pavilion. 

This was a clear sign of presenting the attitude of joining the discussion, as he hadn't isolated himself from the world or the people below. 

"I'm curious," Roxfield turned his gaze toward the left-wing advisor. 

The man immediately stood up and bowed at the waist, though his figure and movement didn't betray his anxiousness. 

He said, "How can I indulge you, Your Eminence?" 

Roxfield tapped his armchair gently and asked, "How many of you are there? Like, the smart guys."
