For Song Yan, today is yet another endless day of busywork.
Whereas Kuye, the Sword Master, suddenly departed in the afternoon.
Before leaving, his face was stern, with a hint of uncontrollable tension flickering in his eyes. Such tension had not been revealed even when he went to attend the Jingzhe battle.
Song Yan immediately understood that the "Supervisor" of the "Fox and Wolf Races" had arrived.
The "stone" thrown to ask for directions was about to fall.
As for what results would come after it falls, he did not need to deliberately pursue them, because the outcome would naturally present itself in front of him.
Getting the information early and making a reaction early may not necessarily be a good thing because your "early step" might just be within someone's calculations, where they have set up a trap waiting for you to get caught.
So, sometimes "a step late" is the true "early step".
