Chapter 126: Leaving (Second Update)

The following day, Zhou Gu accompanied Su Xingze to pay a visit to Minister of Personnel, Shen Xian, at the Shen Residence.

Shen Xian had just returned home from the imperial court, and was planning to go out after changing into casual clothes. As he was walking to the door, he ran into Zhou Gu and Su Xingze who were coming to see him.

Shen Xian naturally recognised Zhou Gu, and after receiving Zhou Gu's greeting, he nodded without any expression and asked,"What brings you here?"

Zhou Gu answered, "I'm accompanying someone."

"Hmm?" Shen Xian turned his gaze to Su Xingze.

Su Xingze stepped forward and greeted him, introducing himself, "My name is Su Xingze, son of Su Xu, a student of Xie Yuan. I've come to the Capital City for the imperial examination. Before leaving, Xie Yuan instructed me to pay a visit to Master Shen."

Shen Xian was taken aback for a moment, he immediately turned around, saying: "Come in with me!"

Thus, they followed Shen Xian into the Shen Residence.
