บท 342: Running Away

It was a night without peace. Every group was either busy trying to garner support for themselves or incite discourse between the other factions. As soon as Gu Shenwei left Shangguan Fei's reception hall, he traveled to the courier station and disappeared for nearly four hours.

During that time, several groups of people had come seeking an audience with Dragon King one after another; however, they were all rejected by Lin Xiaoshan. "Dragon King is not here. I will report to him as soon as he comes back," he told them.

Before Dragon King reappeared, there was a slight commotion at the courier station. Since it lasted for only a short while and did not affect many, only a few people had noticed it.

Shortly after nightfall, about an hour after Dragon King disappeared, the assistant from the Central Plain, Zhong Heng, walked out of the courier station alone and empty-handed. He nodded his head at the doorman, looking as if he was going out for a stroll.
