The visitor who came knocking was Ma Kaishan, a disciple of one of the Twelve Vice Academicians, Shen Wei, with the same purpose as Qu Changqing.
The terms offered were not much different from those of Vice Academician Tang.
Xu Jin listened carefully, then politely saw him out of the courtyard.
This matter was indeed a bit troublesome, and if not handled properly, it could easily lead to offending someone.
After half an hour, two more letters were delivered. Just when Xu Jin thought he could relax, Qing Fan suddenly burst in, stammering, "Young Master, Vice Academician Liu... Vice Academician Liu is here in person!"
"Hmm?"
Xu Jin and his sister quickly went to greet her and saw a slender beauty in a palace dress, standing at the entrance of the courtyard, quietly waiting for Xu Jin to come out.
With just one glance, Xu Jin was captivated by Vice Academician Liu's presence and aura.
