The door slowly opened.

It was dark in the quiet study room, and the candles in the room had long since been burnt to ashes.

He, who was guarding the door, watched as the Gaochang Marquis went in for two hours and finally came out. He originally thought he could quickly wait for Feng Linyuan's summons.

Unexpectedly, he, Mo Lee and the rest waited outside the door for an entire hour, watching as the candles in the study burned to nothing and there was not even a single speck of light left in the room, yet they still didn't hear a single sound.
