That night, Xu Fengnian and his group found a resting place near the lake in Xiangfan.

The inn was located next to Shouyang Lake, one of the world-famous lakes, which was known for its ten sceneries. After checking in, Xu Fengnian did not rest immediately, but sat by the window on the second floor, and asked Qing Niao to bring a pot of warm wine. The snow-white gyrfalcon trained by Chubby Chu landed on the window. Qing Niao untied the letter attached to its feet. Xu Fengnian read it and burned the letter to ashes. Then, he blew away the ashes and said with a smile, "What a nice show."

He continued amusedly, "It says that Xu Xiao finally made a move. He almost beat an agricultural minister to death outside the Hall of Preserving Harmony. Also, the Literary Review, Martial Review, and Belle Review are out. People are super excited."
