Mr. Wu was very courteous to Zhang Chen, inviting him to sit down. Then he said to Zhong Xiang, "Go check if the kitchen has prepared the food and wine."
Zhong Xiang got up and left upon hearing this. Mr. Wu personally poured tea for Zhang Chen before saying, "In fact, the reason I invited you here today is to take you back to the Capital City. With your talents, staying in this desolate Northern Land is a waste. Why not return to the Capital City with me? I will personally recommend you to the Academy to secure a promising future and a better life."
Upon hearing Mr. Wu's words, Zhang Chen was visibly moved. Although this wasn't the first person to offer goodwill—previously Han Suzhen, then the Young Master, and now Mr. Wu seated across from him—all had shown him kindness. However, the fact that someone was willing to uplift and support him still touched his heart.
