Note: The previous chapter's plot is very crucial, don't miss it!
...
In Donghai City, the capital of the Southeast Province, within the Governor's Mansion!
Gui Xingfu had initially come to persuade Chancellor Yan Wuzhi, the top civil official of the Southeast Province, to pledge allegiance to Suo Lun, but he had not expected to run into Ling Ao.
His first reaction was indeed quite astonished. Why would Ling Ao be here?
Seeing Gui Xingfu's surprise, Ling Ao repeated himself, "Zhi Li His Highness said that everything you did was forced by Suo Lun, and not of your own volition. As long as you are willing to come back to the right path, he would surely forgive your past transgressions and continue to value your service."
After speaking, Ling Ao's gaze fervently fixed on Gui Xingfu.
For Ling Ao, Gui Xingfu was not only a backer but also a pillar of support.
