Unexpected But Attained

It was impossible for Fan Xian to be disguised as an unhygienic commoner and stand guard outside the imperial relative's manor 18 days. He was only there with Wang Qinian to confirm that the chain had progressed as they had calculated. He did not intend to continue investigating down this chain.

It was the seventh, and he would confirm things with Hong Zhu on the 20th. At the beginning of February, he would leave Jingdou and head out once more to Jiangnan. He knew that there was very little time and impossible to truly find patterns. All he could depend on was Wang Qinian's extraordinary tracking ability.

After confirming the target, the two of them left the door of the imperial relative and returned to the back door of the courtyard in the old city. Although Fan Xian was interested in seeing Wang Qinian's daily life, he was truly too short on time these days. He didn't have much time to enjoy life, so he waved his hand and climbed into the carriage.
