Lin Mu and his companions remained seated in the reception hall for a short while after the discussion concluded. At first, they expected Huli Zu to make arrangements quickly so they could depart for the capital city, but it soon became clear that something else was happening.
Or rather, someone else was working.
Huli Miyeon had returned to a large desk near the far end of the hall, where an intimidating stack of documents, scrolls, and jade slips had been piled high. It looked less like the work of a single administrator and more like the backlog of an entire government office.
Yet she sat there calmly.
And then she began to work.
Within minutes, Lin Mu and the others started to notice something.
While Huli Zu held the title of Lord of the Teleportation Hall, it was painfully obvious that Miyeon was the one actually running the place.
