The True Perpetrator

The following day, Wang Jian paid a visit to Xie Zhiwei's mansion.

 

Having informed his family beforehand about the arrival of an expert who could heal Xie Hui, the entire family eagerly awaited Wang Jian's arrival.

 

Accompanying Wang Jian was an elderly man, instantly recognizable to the family as Wen Jie - an esteemed alchemist who had pledged his lifelong services to Bai Liqin.

 

His devotion to her was a result of her having saved his life and nurtured him into the alchemist he was today.

 

As they entered the mansion, Xie Chang, Xie Zhiwei's father, rushed to greet them.

 

"Thank you for coming, Your Highness, and bringing Master Wen Jie with you. We are indebted to you both," he said with a deep bow.

 

Wang Jian smiled and replied, "It's our pleasure to help. Master Wen Jie is one of the most skilled alchemists in the land, and I'm sure he will be able to cure the grand elder Hui."
