Four days later, Xie Yun went to the Second Prince's Mansion to give Rong Qijun a lesson, as usual.
Song Zhi also arrived as promised, but not to attend Rong Qijun's banquet; he agreed to give him some guidance in martial arts.
The faint sound of reading came from the inner hall, and Song Zhi sat silently in the backyard of the Second Prince's Mansion.
While waiting for Xie Yun to finish the lesson, he looked up at the drifting white clouds, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility.
Unknowingly, the sky had darkened.
Song Zhi wasn't in a hurry, but he was a bit surprised that Rong Qijun would attempt to win him over.

The principle of the imperial guard is to always be just a blade in the Emperor's hand, to be wielded at his command.
