The morning court session officially came to an end.
The ceremonial gong rang out loudly across the grand hall, signaling the conclusion.
The officials began to withdraw in an orderly manner, their robes rustling as they moved toward the exits.
However, many of them did not leave immediately.
Instead, several pairs of eyes... particularly from the older, more experienced ministers and faction leaders turned toward Li Feng with burning intensity.
Their gazes were filled with greed, calculation, ambition, and hidden motives.
Some looked at him as if he were a freshly baked meat pie ready to be divided, while others saw him as a rising dragon they desperately wanted to latch onto.
It was as if dozens of old foxes were sizing him up, each trying to figure out how best to approach or use him.
And at their 'passion,' Li Feng felt a bit strange as his back tingle.
