Thirty li from the Divine Capital lay a mountain named Qiong Mountain, with the Imperial College located upon it.
At the foot of Qiong Mountain thrived a bamboo forest, within which stood Tingfeng Pavilion, designated solely for receiving visitors.
When guests arrived, it was at Tingfeng Pavilion where they would deliver their visiting cards and wait for a response before ascending the mountain.
However, today there was indeed an exception.
Ming Yang had been waiting in front of Tingfeng Pavilion since dawn, still as a statue, attracting quite a bit of attention from passersby. Many speculated that some high-ranking figure was coming, warranting Ming Yang, a distinguished scholar among his peers, to welcome them.
