Feng Jin couldn't sleep with his tangled mind until midnight. He got out of the bed at his normal time.
The next day, Feng Jin abruptly said to Wuma Jun, "I assume we are not staying longer in Hejian County."
Wuma Jun felt his heart stop for a second. He had no clue how Feng Jin saw through him. Was he that transparent?
Wuma Jun's entire purpose for being in Hejian County was to clutch for support from the aristocratic families. He had drawn Liu She, the one with most value, over to his side, but the other families could wait. It would be a better strategy to visit the Wangs in Langya instead of wasting time in Hejian County.
"I will just ask Fourth Langjun to spare me one more day for me to say my farewells to my friend Lanting. I want to tell him I will be looking forward a reunion in Langya some other day."
Wuma was happy to see it happen naturally.
