Chen Mo hadn't expected to see Lv Huaiyu here.
The two of them had dealt with each other a few times before, and he had always been somewhat puzzled about this Grandmaster's stance.
As a powerful minister personally promoted by Wu Lie, he ought by nature to be a firm member of the Royalist Faction, yet on the day of the Grand Sacrifice he had hinted that an accident would occur at the ancestral shrine, thereby averting a disaster.
Then, when Chen Mo went south, he again tacitly allowed Lu Shuangge to make public the Barbarian Tribe's attempt to unleash a blood miasma, further causing the Lv Family to lose the Emperor's trust.
This sort of seemingly fence‑sitting behavior ended up pleasing neither side; by rights, an official who had reached such heights would not commit such a low‑level blunder…
"Mr. Chen, why are you still standing there in a daze? I've been waiting for you for quite some time," Lv Huaiyu beckoned.
"This subordinate greets Master Lv, and greets Mr. Wei."
