Afterward, "she" saw the Prime Minister, who was drunk, and also saw the one-armed man raising his glass to the sky amidst the wind and snow.
The one-armed man looked at "her," and called out: "Third... Third Sister."
Yan Fangbai saluted from a distance.
The more he understood this Divine Martial Monarch, the more his reverence grew.
Li Xuan stepped forward and said, "Third Sister, can you drink?"
Previously, Yan Fangbai would have said no, but today he smiled and said, "I can."
Li Xuan continued, "I once apprenticed under the Prime Minister and received much care from fellow disciples. Are there any of those brothers still around?"
He counted on his fingers, one by one, "Jiang Zhenshan, Yan Beige, Pang Wuyue..."
Yan Fangbai replied, "They're all here, and... right outside the door."
Li Xuan laughed and said, "Then invite them all in."
The celebrations at the Li Mansion lasted for several days, the air of festivity yet to dissipate.
