A follower looked at the invitation with great trepidation. It was indeed from the Lord Imperial Envoy, and surprisingly, it was sent to Li. Truly, how strange and peculiar!
The Young Master of Li's Trading House was equally puzzled! The ancestors of Li were merely moderately successful merchants, and in his generation, due to the suppression by the Xia Family, they had declined significantly, no longer ranking in the Hangtian Prefecture. How did this invitation end up here?
"Young Master! Recently, the disaster victims outside the city have run out of food; could it be that Lord Imperial Envoy has set his sights on our Li House?"
The Young Master was startled upon hearing such a reminder from the follower.
"Go out and inquire, see if anyone else has received this invitation. I will seek out my father and discuss it with him."
The Young Master shook his head and then gave the orders.
