Thinking of Yu Ruyan's kind and smiling face, a spontaneous warmth spread through Nian Bing's heart. He stood up and walked over to a table of guests. Addressing a tall man in a white robe, he said, "Excuse me, sir, may I trouble you for a moment?"
The man in the white robe was drinking wine. On hearing Nian Bing's voice, he looked up. Nian Bing's handsome appearance was easily likable, and in combination with his sincere and polite tone, the man responded, "Young man, what do you want to ask about? From your accent, it sounds like you're not from around here."
Nian Bing nodded and said, "I came from the Bing Yue Empire. Could you please tell me how to get to the residence of Duke Lan Yu?"
Surprised, the man in white carefully studied Nian Bing and said, "You want to see Duke Lan Yu? Young man, I guess you must be looking to join the army, right? In that case, you should go to the military department instead. Duke Lan Yu isn't someone who can be met casually."
