Chapter 718: Apology (Second Update)

It took a combination of coaxing, persuasion, and threats from Fen Ling and Ziye to finally convince Cui Yanjin that he was destined to be roped back into the Ministry of Rites by his cousin, Zhou Gu.

Standing at the entrance to the Cui Residence, he watched the two leave, feeling unsure of himself.

Fen Ling patted him on the shoulder. "Little Yanjin, why did you come to Nanchu? Wasn't it to help Brother Xingzhi? Now that you have this opportunity to serve in the Imperial Court at such a young age, you're more fortunate than thousands others. Moreover, you'll be with me. What is there to fear?"

Cui Yanjin took a deep breath and stood tall. "I'll follow you, Brother Feng. You have to treat me well, and don't put me in a disadvantageous situation."

Fen Ling chuckled, "For saving my sister and me, I will be good to you for the rest of my life, don't worry!"

Cui Yanjin felt relieved.
