67, Three Qi Zhao Douan

The drizzling rain refreshed the entire Capital anew.

Zhao Douan put on a robe, tucked an oiled-paper umbrella under his arm, quickly swallowed a few steaming meat buns, and set out alone.

There was little time left until the scheduled meeting, and he dared not delay.

Since the location was not far, and due to the rain, he chose not to ride a horse.

Even a Cultivation Martial Artist on foot could reach on time.

"Inviting me so abruptly—is it to prevent any preparation on my part? And emphasizing meeting alone... truly a sly move."

Zhao Douan was somewhat displeased.

But for the sake of great merit, he decided to overlook the old man's antics.

In his mind, he reviewed Vice Minister Pei's personal file:

Pei Kaizhi, from the Pei family, a notable Jiangnan Family, whose career could be summed up in one word: "smooth."

Gifted from an early age, he was known as one of the "Four Talents" alongside other local prodigies.
