Chen Xuanji's letter was brief, merely inviting Chen Yi to meet him at the post station the following evening.
It gave neither a time nor any particular explanation of what the meeting was for, and did not even ask Chen Yi to conceal himself or arrive with great fanfare.

Chen Yi's expression remained calm. He more or less knew that Chen Xuanji had invited him because he had something to say.
Chen Yunfan watched him for a moment before asking, "What did Father say in his letter?"

"Father must really want to see you, to have sent a letter especially."
"Probably."
Chen Yi put the letter away and
