The dinner at the Thousand Flavors restaurant extended well past midnight. Luckily since the restaurant was operated by cultivators, it was always open and had no closing hours, which worked well with the brutal schedule of judges, inquisitors, and other staff of the Order.
Wei Ying, Zhang Qingee's friend, ended up taking a much longer time to arrive. The one hour she had given, turned into three.
When they saw she was taking longer than usual, Dai Chen decided to invite Mo Liwei over. They could fill in both the two judges on the case, and with Yang Qing's inquisitors having already arrived, they had more than enough information to present to Mo Liwei for him to decide whether he wanted to be on the panel or not.
Mo Liwei agreed and around two hours in he had already arrived at the restaurant.
