Chapter 15: Fateful Encounter with the Immortal
Though Li WenYuan held but a fourth-rank position, he was the Magistrate of Nanling Prefecture, a truly important official. In Nanling Prefecture, he was the highest ranking official.
If he wished to be promoted, he would have to return to Central Capital and enter the government's core.
The successive heinous cases in Nanling Prefecture, though related to cultivators, had indeed had too terrible an impact; no matter what, Li WenYuan would be affected to some extent.
However, Li WenYuan had no intention of returning to Central Capital, so it was unlikely it would amount to much trouble.
"Shiming, you go back and rest. The Imperial Examination is coming in a few days; take care of yourself!" Li WenYuan did not want Li Shiming to get too involved in these affairs and, smiling, waved his hand.
"You should rest early too!" Li Shiming reminded as he left.
As he stepped out of the room, he saw several officials quickly approaching and could not help but sigh helplessly, realizing that Li WenYuan would not get a good rest today.
Crossing the stone bridge and about to return to his own courtyard, he suddenly looked in one direction, toward the guest quarters where two cultivators resided.
Li Shiming looked at the guest quarters in front of him, noticing that there were still lights inside.
"Li Shiming seeks an audience with the Immortal!" The two guest quarters were next to each other; he stood in front of the close neighboring doors and loudly called out.
No one responded to him, which was something he had anticipated.
Still, to be cautious, he inquired with courtesy.
