An hour later
"...Now, He Hongzhao is missing, feared to have escaped Quanzhou, causing endless harm."
The storyteller sighed as such, ending tonight's storytelling session.
The audience, unsatisfied, all left with sighs of disappointment.
Behind the curtain, a faint rustle of plain-colored robes suggested someone was about to leave.
"Stop!"
He Ying shouted sternly, then pulled Sang Yan in with him.
"It really is you!"
Sang Yan confirmed her suspicion and chuckled, "Feng Yicheng, long time no see."
She had last seen him at the Qingfeng Tea House in the Capital City, and the impression was deep.
He was storytelling there as well.
He Ying had a good chat with him, seemingly close friends.
Unexpectedly, he had appeared in Quanzhou.
He Ying was also surprised Feng Yicheng showed up in Quanzhou.
Initially, he had arranged for him to resolve a deception case in Fu State and then return to serve in the court; instead he defied orders and ran off to Quanzhou.
