Luoshui County.
The Inspection Office.
Bearing the heavy snow, Jiang Ning stepped through the gates of the Inspection Office, heading straight for the discussion hall.
Following closely behind him was Xie Xiaojiu.
"This is the place, sir!" Xie Xiaojiu looked ahead at the discussion hall, coming to a stop at a distance, and opened her mouth to speak.
"Mm," Jiang Ning nodded.
Then he stopped, glanced at Xie Xiaojiu, and said, "It's cold, there's no need to wait here for me, go inside and warm yourself by the fire."
"Yes, sir!" Xie Xiaojiu pursed her lips in response.
Afterwards, she watched as Jiang Ning, braving the swirling snow, made his way to the discussion hall.
...
The discussion hall.
Arriving under the eaves of the building, Jiang Ning shook his shoulders, flinging off the snowflakes and melting snow that had landed on him.
As for his head, not a single snowflake remained.
Next, he pushed open the slightly ajar doors and stepped over the threshold.
