Cloudcenter Magistrate Zuo Su and Jian Taiding greeted Sang Hong’s group and invited the the way They had been in too much of a hurry when they were outside of the city, so only a few individuals could introduce theistrate Sir Xu Yu”
“I have been looking forward toyou”
…
Zu An carefully observed the other person Xu Yu was a ed man with a square face He looked like a -bellied Zuo Su
Apart froistrate also had the responsibility of supervising the Magistrate Manor and the local officials Since his status was extreistrate, but rather in his own carriage
“This is Governing Supervisor Sir Yu Xuanqing”
“So it was actually the Imperial Secretariat’s Left Confidential assistant’s clan brother! It is an honor!”
The Governing Supervisor was the nue of the selection of officials and other h he was a local official, there was no need for Sang Hong to treat someone like hi remained so courteous was because the elder was someone from the Yu clan The Yu clan had two main branches One served as officials in the imperial court; their clan leader was the Imperial Secretariat’s Left Confidential assistant Yu Xuanchong
The other branch ree of the ki stone fa’s clan brother But co was far inferior in both cultivation and ability
Cloudcenter Commandery’s clan leader had passed away, so the clan was currently under the control of the first wife, Yu Yanluo However, she was still a woman, and she was beautiful too As such, she couldn't really make an appearance too often, so many of the clan’swas one of them
“This is Cloudcenter Commandery’s Military Affairs Manor’s War Minister Yu Xuansu”
“It is an honor to meet you at last”

Yu Xuanxu was also one of Yu Yanluo’s clan uncles Zu An began to ponder to himself when he saw the two old reat… With all of these higher level positions of Cloudcenter Co occupied by them, this entire place is pretty much under their control
Zu An looked around He had originally been looking forward to seeing Yu Yanluo, but he didn’t see the beautiful figure he re the sa, as he found an excuse to ask, “Hm?

Sang Hong said with a smile, “Her health is naturally the ed the topic Then, Jian Taiding dragged Sang Hong along to introduce hian to send their greetings to the other members of the i Gao Ying and Pei You After all, one had the Liu clan behind him, and the other the Pei clan They were both top-level clans in the capital The local officials obviously wanted to get closer to those influential clans’ disciples
As for Zu An, they all ignored his In their eyes, an official like hiround wasn’t worth all that e weakness in people who had risen up that hich was that their status completely depended on the emperor’s favor If they lost the emperor’s favor, they would then coreat influential clans were different They had countlessas officials, so their relationshi+ps were twisted and complicated Even if the emperor didn’t like the to them
“They're quite honest,” Zu An remarked He obviously wouldn’t take offense because of that Instead, he took the chance to size up the others, especially Pei Shao That fellow see Qi’s heir and his daughter
He noticed that a youngface and small, round eyes was next to Pei Shao So However, judging from the way some lower ranked officials flattered Pei Shao, he learned that the youngManman’s little brother? Zu An frowned Were they really blood-related? Big Manman is so beautiful, so why is her little brother so disappointing?
