757 Yan Country 8 (1/2)
But Fan Jin did not ask them anything about it, nor did he want to look deeper into it. He knew that regardless whether it was Jun Wu Xie or her companions around her, they were all people from extraordinary backgrounds. And if they did not tell him about what they were going to do, he assumed they must have their own reasons for doing so.
Fan Jin's eyes slowly turned to look at Fan Zhuo. Seeing the genuine smile on his face that shone from deep inside his heart, he was feeling glad and heartened by what he saw.
”You guys carry on chatting. I need to go see the Grand Adviser.” Fan Jin stood up and announced. He was afraid that Jun Wu Xie and the others might find it inconvenient to speak their mind if he remained there and he found himself an excuse to leave.
”Grand Adviser? Big Brother, what are you looking for him for?” Fan Zhuo asked.
The Yan Country's Grand Adviser held a position of pivotal importance and he was highly revered by the people, his reputation and status second only to the Emperor himself, but still higher than even the Crown Prince, the heir apparent to the throne. But the Grand Adviser seldom interfered with the affairs concerning the running of the Yan Country and he would only make an appearance when needed.
If the Emperor of the Yan Country was the authoritative figure as its ruler, then the Grand Adviser would be the Yan Country's Spiritual Leader, who was deeply loved and respected by its people.
Fan Jin replied easily with a laugh: ”Senior Wen Xin Han had entrusted me with a letter before we left, for me to hand over to the Grand Adviser.”
Fan Zhuo nodded and did not probe further. They had all come out from the Zephyr Academy and the academy was now being run by Wen Xin Han and Gu Li Sheng. As the Zephyr Academy had just weathered through so much turmoil, Fan Jin had sincerely invited Wen Xin Han to temporarily remain at the Zephyr Academy and Wen Xin Han had not refused.
After seeing Fan Jin leave, Fei Yan rubbed at his chin. ”If my memory serves me correctly, the Yan Country's Grand Adviser seems to be surnamed Wen.” His eyes turning to look meaningfully at Jun Wu Xie.
Although the surname Wen was not considered to be very rare, but the fact that Wen Xin Han had asked Fan Jin to deliver a letter to the Yan Country's Grand Adviser and that they both shared the same surname of Wen would unavoidably make people link them together.
”The Yan Country's Grand Adviser, goes by the name of Wen Yu?” Jun Wu Xie asked.
