"Alright, I'll let him go to the council hall tomorrow."
Xi Xiaomeng responded, watching Ji Ruyan's departure.
For some reason, he felt that Ji Ruyan's inquiry was a bit unusual. Nie Yangwen had been at Danren Cliff for a year and a half, always staying under the radar, with few people conversing with him. Why would Ji Ruyan inquire about him?
Unable to make sense of it, Xi Xiaomeng decided to leave it aside, instructing a nearby soldier to notify Nie Yangwen to be at the council hall the next day.
The night passed without incident.
Early the next morning, Nie Yangwen arrived at the council hall.
Initially, his rank was insufficient to enter the council hall, but the soldier who reported was a trusted aide of the State Preceptor, so he dared not doubt.
Standing in the spacious council hall, he stood still like a statue.
Ji Ruyan arrived late and as she entered the hall, she offered Nie Yangwen a gentle smile, "Colonel Nie, I've a task for you. Do you have the time?"
