A satisfied chuckle escaped her lips, and Ye Wuxia quietly got up and left the room in a good mood.
"Is Xiao Liu in your room? Isn't he up yet?"
Ye Wuxia went out and happened to run into Fang Wantang, who was coming out of Fang Ruotang's room. She didn't see anyone in Fang Ruotang's room, but she wasn't surprised.
"She's still sleeping. Wait for her to wake up on her own. Don't disturb her."
Ye Wuxia gave a word of advice, and Fang Wantang agreed. In any case, if Ye Wuxia didn't say anything, they wouldn't bother them.
The two had no private contact and went about their own business after exchanging only a few words. After washing up and having breakfast, Ye Wuxia went to the government office in front.
Before he even stepped outside, he could hear a commotion outside, as noisy as a morning market. And amidst the cacophony, he could clearly hear the Grand Preceptor being mentioned frequently.
"What happened?"
Ye Wuxia walked out with a solemn expression.
The county magistrate, trembling, said, "These people don't know where they heard the news that the Imperial Preceptor is in the yamen, so they came early this morning to pay their respects to him."
The county magistrate was incredibly timid; he was practically ready to have his name tattooed on his forehead.
He stated that it was not him who leaked the information; he only announced the monster matter yesterday.
Even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare. Besides, if he had ulterior motives, he would be even less likely to reveal the Grand Preceptor's whereabouts. Wouldn't it be better to secretly curry favor with the Grand Preceptor instead of creating so many enemies and troubles for no reason?
"Go to the backyard and call out the people from the Tianyi Sect." Ye Wuxia directly ordered a yamen runner to run the errand.
"Quiet down."
Ye Wuxia's voice wasn't loud, but the crowd blocking the entrance to the government office immediately quieted down. Or rather, the clamor to see the Grand Preceptor subsided the moment he came out.
After all, Ye Wuxia looked extraordinary.
"What brings you here so early in the morning, seeking an audience with the Imperial Preceptor?"
After Ye Wuxia finished asking her question, a commoner came out after a while and said tremblingly, "Please forgive me, sir. I had no ill intentions. I just heard that the Grand Preceptor had come, so I picked a lot of fresh and tender vegetables from my home to give to the Grand Preceptor and thank him for taking care of us."
"Yes! Us too, we just want to kowtow to the Grand Preceptor in person!"
"These are two jin of pork that I had the butcher weigh this morning. I want to give them to the Imperial Advisor."
"The old man just brought his grandson to kowtow to the Grand Preceptor and thank him for protecting us common people."
The people were all talking at once, vying to express their goodwill. Before Ye Wuxia could say anything, a few people had already knelt down on the ground.
