Xu Huo returned to the border town with Beibao. It was already late at night, most of the fans around the castle had dispersed, and only the cleaners were still active on the streets. He found a hostel to stay in.
"I thought you were going to storm into the Wan Family directly." Beibao looked in the direction of the castle, "Their rival, Minister Wang, is dead. I guess they're busy receiving and sending people off, not having time to sleep."
"Why did the Wan Family change their surname to Wang?" Most of the restaurants in the small town were closed now. Xu Huo took out some dry rations and ate them with hot water to stave off hunger.
"The Wang family is very influential," Beibao said. "Many in this family hold official positions; Minister Wang holds the highest position, but he looks down on the Wan Family. The Wan Family tried to curry favor but failed. However, this might change in the future; with the death of one Minister Wang, surely another will rise."
