In the villa, Feng Yuanbai arrived.
Not only did he come, but he also brought Cui Yunqi and Ning Xing along.
In fact, Cui and Ning had already sent a letter yesterday, making an appointment with Chen Xu to visit today.
No one expected to find Chen Xu in the kitchen when they arrived.
Cui Yunqi almost doubted his own eyes; he was clearly at the kitchen door, yet insisted on pulling Ning Xing back a few steps.
Ning Xing, puzzled, was dragged away, only to be led back into the kitchen.
Only then did Cui Yunqi confirm that he indeed saw Chen Xu in the kitchen.
In an instant, the kitchen of this villa not only hosted the top scorer of the current provincial exam in Yunjiang Prefecture, but also the top scorer of the previous exam, alongside a young noble from an aristocratic family and the County Magistrate of Yunjiang.
So many extraordinary figures crowded into the smoky kitchen, making it seem cramped and awkward, as if the air itself had thinned.
