Watching them speak, witnessing the immediate, crackling intellectual chemistry passing between them, Huang Chengyan felt a sudden, profound realization strike his heart. They were a perfect match. A union of the heavens and the earth. The supreme administrator and the master engineer. For a fleeting second, the old philosopher thought he was looking at the most perfect, formidable couple the Hengyuan Dynasty would ever produce.

The boy would have to earn the right to even look at her with such admiration. With a gruff, protective harrumph, Huang Chengyan decided it was time to make his exit before he said something incredibly un philosophical.

The impact of Zhuge Liang’s arrival on the wagonway project was immediate and utterly staggering.
