The Eighth Hundred and Thirty-Eighth Chapter: Seeing You Sisi Again

Every civil and military official had to come here each morning for court, meet His Majesty, and report on the day's affairs.

The square before the Hall of Civil and Military Affairs was vast and long, with flowers and greenery planted along both sides, their fragrance pleasant and refreshing.

Several small bridges crossed fishponds where little fish of every color swam back and forth, a delightful sight.

But what drew the eye most was the enormous carving of a dragon and phoenix in the center of the square.

The dragon and phoenix were not intertwined. Instead... they faced off against each other!

One dragon and one phoenix seemed born to oppose each other, snarling and clawing menacingly. Their expressions were so lifelike that they seemed like divine beasts leaping from the stone slabs to fight to the death.

As Fang Yue watched, he lost himself in the sight for a moment.

When he came back to his senses, his heart was still pounding.

What incredible artistry!

Just one glance had stirred such a powerful feeling in him.

The craftsman who carved these two creatures must have been unfathomably skilled!

Suppressing his amazement, Fang Yue climbed the steps toward the Hall of Civil and Military Affairs.

As soon as he started up the steps, he noticed someone already ahead of him, climbing as well.

Fang Yue had only just set off, while the other person had already climbed halfway.

From this angle, he could only make out the person's distant silhouette.

It seemed to be a young man, slender in build, with pale hands visible beneath his sleeves. He looked like someone who had lived a pampered life.

His clothes were mainly yellow, with several dragon-claw-like shapes embroidered on the back. The dragon's body itself was likely embroidered on the front.
