Lu Fan's smooth voice echoed throughout the patio.
The Imperial Advisor narrowed his eyes and gazed into Lu Fan's.
A long moment later, an amiable smile appeared on the Imperial Advisor's wrinkled face.
"Good. Very good," he said.
Then, he started coughing excessively, and his face turned red.
He flicked his wide sleeve and beat his chest until the coughing ceased. He then looked over at the small island, a relaxed expression on his face as he enjoyed the breeze.
"This is such a nice place... After I put down the rebellions, I'll move here for my retirement. I won't ask for too much. All I need is a hut by the lake."
"When it's windy or rainy outside, I'll simply hide in my hut and boil some wine for tasting."
"When it's nice and sunny outside, I'll go fishing in a small boat on the lake..."
The Imperial Advisor was smiling, and his cloudy eyes were full of anticipation and hope.
