Though his official rank was below that of Marquis Du Haixian, a Junior First Grade noble, his actual power was immense. He oversaw all of Daqian's important affairs, such as ceremonies, sacrificial rites, and the imperial examinations.
He was second only to the Nascent Soul Minister of Daqian's Ministry of Rites.
"Marquis Du, what brings you to my humble home today?"
Jin Hongjun said with a smile, cupping his hands in salute as his gaze swept briefly over Du Haixian.
Du Haixian sighed, a worried look on his face. "Vice Minister Su, to be frank, I have come today to ask a favor."
"Please speak freely, Marquis."
Du Haixian lowered his voice. "A junior from my clan, while traveling abroad, seems to have... crossed paths with an important disciple from the Cyan Cloud Sect. The situation is quite delicate."
Jin Hongjun's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression unreadable. "Oh? A Cyan Cloud Sect disciple... What are you implying, Marquis Du?"
