In the secret chamber.
Li Yuan was cultivating with a serene mind.
Having arrived at Xie Mansion, though only ten days had passed, he had already sensed the complexity of relationships here.
The Commander feigning madness, the relatives at the wedding banquet speaking with an eerie undertone, and the Ancestor sitting high in the mansion...
Even his brother-in-law, who commanded the "thirty thousand Hanzhou Iron Cavalry," left him wondering whether he was truly foolish or just pretending.
He had no intention to verify it.
But even with just his intuition, he could sense: this was undoubtedly a place with turbulent undercurrents.
He didn't want to complicate matters.
Just as well, his image as a Martial Fool helped him avoid that.
He decided to quietly delve into his understanding here and wait for the Emperor.
In addition to cultivating, he would also use his informants left in Shanbao County to observe the surroundings.
