Yan Ye heard some noise and came in, just in time to see Beiting Huang wrestling with the complex outfit. He shook his head helplessly, helped her straighten out her clothes, and fixed her braids. Just as he was about to leave, Yan Ye wouldn't let him, insisting they have breakfast together. Afterward, the two headed to the palace where the council was held.
The Nine Spirits Hall lay between the Inner and Outer Halls and had always been the place in Yan City where significant matters were deliberated. The people from Huang City were welcomed into the Nine Spirits Hall, and when Beiting Huang and Yan Ye arrived, the hall was bustling with excitement. The people from Huang City, led by Nan Ling, were happily engaging in conversations with the people from Yan City, led by the Great Elder.
"Teacher, Grandpa!"
