In the quiet Observatory courtyard, Liu Wufeng was not the only one lingering. A number of Observatory members had gathered to watch the events unfold, their faces full of curiosity.
In a corner of the Observatory courtyard, a willow tree swayed in the wind, occasionally shedding a leaf. In the deep autumn season, it added a touch of desolate solemnity.
Qian Wu stood in the courtyard, hands at his sides, back straight, and gaze fixed forward. "Lord Shen, I have a few questions that I need you to answer for me."
Qian Wu's voice was calm, yet it held no trace of arrogance. Instead, he addressed Shen Bai as an equal.
Even as a prominent figure in the Xuanjing City Observatory and a trusted confidant of the Yin General Department, Qian Wu's attitude toward Shen Bai was completely different from how he treated Liu Wufeng.
He addressed Shen Bai as an equal—something truly rare and commendable for a genuine top-tier expert.
