But on the night before he left the Capital, that official from the Ministry of War, a disciple of a Great Scholar from the Academy, Guo Peng, actually showed up at his door with alcohol in hand.
He said he wanted to keep his promise from before and have a proper drink with Chen Yuan.
It was also a way to send him off.
Clearly, he had learned of Chen Yuan's imminent departure from the Capital.
In fact, Guo Peng had sought out Chen Yuan after the events in the Sumeru Illusion Realm, but at the time, Chen Yuan merely had a casual chat with him and didn't drink, leaving Guo feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
This time the other party came directly to his door with drinks and dishes, and Chen Yuan couldn't refuse. Considering he would leave the Capital the next day, he thought having a little drink tonight wouldn't hurt.
So, in the back courtyard of the Duke Wuwei Mansion.
Chen Yuan and Guo Peng, whom he had only met a few times, had a hearty drink together, which was quite enjoyable.
