Xu Yuan sat alone at the desk, staring silently for a long time at the ancient book titled "Black Scale" before him.
Since he succeeded Xu Changge and took over the helm at the Ink Concealment Pavilion, he had secured the number two position in the Prime Minister's Mansion regarding financial matters.

But now,
with this cultivation technique, the Black Scale Army is no longer an exception.
"Confusing..."
He murmured softly, his fingertips brushing over the cover of the ancient book.
