The skies over Qing State and the Imperial City have changed.
This calculating young State Preceptor is still on the road... moving neither too fast nor too slow, unaware that great disaster is imminent.
"..."
Chen Jingxuan looked silently at the jade scroll extended before him.
As a Sky Watcher, he could use the Roundness Instrument to monitor the national fate and could sacrifice his own lifespan to scrutinize others' life lines.
He was almost omnipotent, yet he could not control his own destiny.
This was somewhat ironic.
Chen Jingxuan hesitated for a moment and then took the jade scroll.
Jiang He had been observing the young State Preceptor's expression. He saw neither panic nor disappointment on Chen Jingxuan's face, as if this upheaval triggered by Lichao City's leniency was just a small ripple.
"Qing State... the Chu Family..."
Chen Jingxuan merely smiled.
He handed the jade scroll back and sincerely asked, "Are the people of Qingyang City alright?"
