As the foremost female constable in the realm personally appointed by Emperor Shengwu, Ning Ke enjoyed immense prestige. Among the Purple Robe Constables of the Divine Constable Gate, aside from Xiang Yang, few could hope to match her.
By comparison, Yi Guoxin could not be called unknown, but he possessed only a modest reputation within the Divine Province, nothing compared to Ning Ke's. If the two joined together, Yi Guoxin could ride the momentum upward and gain tremendous prestige.
Moreover, Ning Ke's background was unlike that of ordinary women. Her maternal clan was the Fifth Family, one of Xiangzhou's foremost martial aristocratic houses.
If Yi Guoxin and Ning Ke could make a match of it, the Fifth Family would very likely become a hidden force behind him, which would greatly benefit his future.
