After he finished speaking, Eunuch Chen turned his gaze to another woman dressed in white.
"Dean, is this the woman, Qin Shuang? The one you were willing to offend the Head of the General Department to snatch as your successor?" Eunuch Chen asked.
The middle-aged man who had been waving a folded fan snapped it shut. "That's right. Qin Shuang's talent far surpasses my own. After starting her cultivation anew, her power has soared. It's truly terrifying."
When these words were spoken, Prime Minister Cao snorted, his eyes filled with disapproval.
"For such a fine talent to not enter the Court and serve as an official is a true pity."
The Dean chuckled. "A Scholar's path doesn't have to lead to officialdom. What's wrong with pursuing the ultimate truths found in books? Prime Minister, you're taking this too far."
Prime Minister Cao flicked his sleeve. "Nonsense. Possessing the ability to bring order to the world but refusing to serve it is nothing but empty talk."
