Pei Ye didn't have to wait too long; approximately more than half a two-hour period later, Fang Jidao came out to greet him.
Pei Ye had unconsciously expected a servant, but it wasn't until he followed Fang Jidao through the threshold that he realized there were actually no menials in this tranquil compound.
"We will now go together to meet Scholar Zhu, for I have already sent up the message," Fang Jidao led the way. "I made some inquiries, and it appears that Mr. Pei, you are not listed in the Heavenly Principle Academy, likely just studying with Scholar Zhu. However, the Scholar will certainly treat everyone equally."
"Ah, good."
Actually, Pei Ye didn't particularly care whether he was treated equally or not. He had been sent by Xu Chuo because he served as "empirical evidence" for the Two Heavens Theory, which was overseen by this venerable Scholar. He was here to understand clearly what he was to do.
