“Ha ha! My apologies, Old Man. Young Master He, please don’t take offense. Have a seat!” Yin Qian then noticed the young stranger in the hall who appeared quite youthful, and gestured for the two to sit down. He adjusted his clothing and took his place at the table. Yin Jianren settled into a seat on the lower right side.
“Junior He Er Gou thanks Senior Yin.” Rather than waiting for others to inquire, Mo Wen introduced himself after bowing. He took a seat across from Yin Jianren without any pretense. After sitting down, he glanced at Yin Qian, who was dressed in a python robe and wore a floral crown with a tied-up hairstyle, his demeanor steady and imposing like that of a great general.
“There’s no one else here, so Xian Zhi can speak freely. This time, it was Old Man who asked Jianren to invite Xian Zhi here. I believe Xian Zhi already knows the reason for this meeting. If you have any requests regarding this matter, feel free to mention them; Old Man will do his utmost to fulfill them.” Yin Qian nodded at Mo Wen, who was currently in a state of confusion. He completely failed to understand what Yin Qian was saying, but seeing Yin Jianren’s expression suggested that he must have known about the situation beforehand but hadn’t shared it with him.
“…” Unsure of how to respond to Yin Qian’s words, Mo Wen’s expression caught Yin Qian’s attention, and he understood what was going on. However, he needed confirmation and turned to look at his son.
“Ahem, Father, due to time constraints, Child did not mention this matter to Brother He…” Feeling the intense gaze of his father, Yin Jianren hurriedly explained, though his confidence waned with each word.
“Never mind then; Old Man will explain it to Xian Zhi. This matter must start with his illness…” With Mo Wen present, Yin Qian couldn’t lose his temper. He glanced at his son and then recounted the events leading up to this point, including Yin Jianren’s illness and other matters unknown to Mo Wen.
After listening to Yin Qian’s account, Mo Wen finally understood that Yin Qian wanted to meet him primarily because he had healed his son’s mental affliction, giving him hope for breakthrough. Anyone capable of understanding Yin Jianren’s paintings must be extraordinary; as a father, it was necessary to express gratitude in person. Moreover, he was the ruler of Yinzhou. Previously unable to meet due to being occupied with reading or cultivating, he now had no choice but to interrupt. Since Yin Jianren had recommended him and praised him multiple times for being “well-versed in both literature and martial arts,” it seemed fitting given that the Jin Family was facing a troublesome issue.
“I would like to know what matter requires Junior's assistance; please enlighten me, Senior.” Mo Wen was curious. Though he often indulged in self-praise as a “genius,” he was very clear about his own capabilities. Initially intending to decline directly, he felt it would be inappropriate since the invitation had already been extended; it seemed that the other party feared rejection and thus brought him before his father without elaborating.
“Good, straightforward! It is like this: half a month ago…” Yin Qian spoke concisely as Mo Wen listened intently with wide eyes. His astonishment wasn’t about being unaware of such significant events but rather about how calmly Yin Qian handled such serious matters. Half a month ago, two relay stations in northern Yinzhou had been breached consecutively without any news since then. According to reports from those who escaped, the invading enemy came from the north—Shu Cang.
