"Vice Director Situ, the Director wishes to see you," a steward of the Purple Sun Prefecture said, walking into the main hall where Situ Haoming was resting.
Situ Haoming opened his eyes and nodded. "Mm, I understand. I'll go right away."
His heart filled with apprehension, Situ Haoming hurried toward Liu Ying's residence.
Before long, he arrived at the door to Liu Ying's room.
KNOCK KNOCK!
"Come in."
Liu Ying's calm voice drifted from within. Situ Haoming entered cautiously.
"Director, you were looking for me?" Situ Haoming asked respectfully as he walked in.
Liu Ying, sitting in a chair, nodded. Then he asked softly, "You know of Wen Qingye, don't you?"
"I do." A jolt went through Situ Haoming.
"He has returned from the Thousand Rivers Secret Land." Liu Ying paused, glancing at Situ Haoming. In truth, this news was known to everyone in the Imperial City; even the towns nearby had heard.
