Chapter 50: What Must Be Given
The banquet was over.
Just like back in Jucheon, during his encounter with the former Provincial Commander, Jincheon once again found himself completely unable to make sense of what had just happened.
Regardless, the banquet—despite a bit of disruption—had ended on a relatively pleasant note.
And now, Jincheon’s group was on their way to the secondary residence.
As expected, the Heavenly Flame Palace maintained a secondary estate here in Nanzhou.
‘Well, they had one even in small cities. It’d be strange if they didn’t have one in the biggest city.’
Thinking that, Jincheon let out a faint chuckle.
Owning a secondary estate in a major city like Nanzhou was a monumental achievement.
Even the wealthiest people would find it difficult to pull off. For someone in Jincheon’s position, it was outright unthinkable.
And yet ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) here he was, thinking it’d be strange not to have one. No wonder he couldn’t help laughing at himself.
Clop, clop.
As the rhythmic clatter of hooves echoed steadily, a question rose anew in Jincheon’s mind.
