"However, after my master captured Landlord Long, he made a different decision and recruited her into the Observatory."
Shen Bai stroked his chin.
This outcome was more or less what Shen Bai had expected.
In fact, he couldn't imagine any other way Long Yan could have joined the Observatory.
"So, because she joined the Observatory, the Peach Opera Garden won't pursue the matter anymore?" Shen Bai asked.
Qin Shuang nodded. She took small sips of her soup and mumbled, "Those people were furious, but they didn't dare say a word because of the Observatory's authority. And so, Landlord Long ended up staying here."
At this point, Shen Bai had a clear picture of what had happened.
A few wontons were still left on the table, floating in the clear broth.
"That bunch of scoundrels... they're probably not up to any good, coming to Fenglin State this time," Qin Shuang grumbled.
