The Ditch Between Two Departments

He Zongwei was a clever man. Presumably, he already knew everything after looking at the officials. Although he and Fan Xian's past incidences were a long time ago, given Fan Xian's grudge-holding nature, how could his name not be deeply seared into his mind?

"Greetings, Scholar."

"Greetings, Duke."

He Zongwei was neither obsequious nor supercilious. He bowed low with great composure. Hu the Scholar chuckled and said some casual remarks. Raising his arms vaguely, he indicated that He Zongwei did not have to be so polite. Fan Xian only stood to the side and quietly watched the young official. Countless pictures flashed through his mind.
