Soon, Su Ru returned. "Master Xiao Tieying would like to welcome High Official Zhao Zilai and he even specifically asked for you. Let's go."

"He wants me to go?" Chu Li frowned.

Su Ru laughed. "You're now a rank 3 Scribe. Other than the few elders who are reluctant to move, you have the highest rank."

Chu Li shook his head while smiling. Coincidently, he wanted to see High Official Zhao Zilai too.

When lanterns were lit up, Chu Li followed Su Ru to Iron Eagle Island.

The island was brightly lit and it was truly lively. Maids were walking around in twos or threes, moving their soft and well-rounded figures. When they saw Chu Li and Su Ru, they stopped and curtsied.

Su Ru waved her hand at them from time to time and brought Chu Li to the main hall in no time.

In the main hall, more than twenty tallow candles were lit and it was as bright as daytime.

Xiao Tieying was talking to a tall old man while Xiao Qi sat on his right.
