Li Yinhǔ never dreamed he'd see the Holy Maiden's figure in the East Palace again.

At that moment, Li Yinhu even felt like he was hallucinating.

Just as Li Yinhǔ subconsciously wanted to chase after him, he suddenly stopped his steps.

He only then remembered that this was the Eastern Palace, not his territory.

Here, you have to be careful with every move, otherwise, once the prince catches your handle, you will suffer again.

His inner curiosity towards the saintess made him uncomfortable, causing him to scratch his ears and face.

He realized that something must have happened in the Eastern Palace that he didn't know about, or perhaps the Saintess was planning to do something again, otherwise, there was no reason for her to be here.

Li Yinhu, with his brows furrowed in thought, was pacing back and forth outside the East Palace gate when it creaked open.

Emerging from within was none other than the tightly-furrowed brow of Dantai Jing.

The old gentleman's furrowed brows were not due to anything else, but because in a few days the East Palace would be facing the reception of gifts from civil and military officials.

The highly respected and widely admired Dantai Jing, who had a room full of books and countless students, suddenly discovered something quite embarrassing: besides his vast library, he was nearly penniless.

Even on his salary, he hadn't even received his first month's pay yet. Where could he get money for a gift

Feeling a bit ashamed of being financially strapped, Dantai Jing felt some melancholy.

He never thought in his life that he would one day worry about money.

And Li Yinhu was instantly delighted to see this.

He was certain that the news of the official's arrival had just spread, causing a conflict between the renowned Mirror Master and the Crown Prince who shook the world.

It goes without saying that the Crown Prince is arrogant and domineering, brooking no dissent from others.

And as for Mr. Mirror, his prestige was extremely high, he was the spiritual leader of all scholars in the world.

Once two people's views differ, conflict is bound to occur.

Li Yinhu felt that his opportunity had arrived.

If he could bring Dàntái Jìngzhī to his side, let him see that it was he who was the true future savior of Qin, then he would have power in court!

Upon thinking this, Li Yinhu only felt his blood boil.

"Master Mirror, please wait!"

Although his official title should now be Lord Dantai or Grand Scholar, both others and he himself are more accustomed to calling him Mr. Jingzhi. Even Li Chen still calls him "Mr.", so Dantai Jingzhi doesn't find anything amiss with this.

The moment Dantai Jingzhi saw the newcomer in princely attire, he immediately knew Li Ynhu's identity.

Nowadays, in the capital city, there is only one prince of this age, Prince Li Yinhu, the eighth son. So, it's not hard to guess who it is.

"So it's King Zhao."

Raising his hand in a courteous gesture, Dantai Jing politely inquired, "I wonder if King Zhao has anything to attend to"

Li Yinhu tried hard to make his smile seem elegant and easygoing. He raised his hand and said, "Little Wang has long admired the master, but he has always been unable to meet him. Now that we finally have this opportunity, it is truly Little Wang's good fortune."

"One doesn't strike a smiling face, so even though Dantang Jingzhi wasn't in the mood to chat with Li Yinhǔ, he still said humbly, 'Your Highness flatters me. I've merely read a few more books and spoken a few more words. To be praised by the world already fills me with apprehension. Please, Your Highness, don't embarrass your old servant.'"

Seeing Dantai Jingzhi's polite response, Li Yuhua became even more enthusiastic. He said emotionally, "Sir, this is not flattery. Your wise name is known throughout the world. Xiao Wang has long admired you, sir. If I have the opportunity, I would like to ask you to be my teacher. Would you be willing"rst.”"With six hundred thousand iron cavalry, the Liao army has fought many battles.
