Shen Mo's sudden departure seemed like a stealthy blow to Duke Wei.
If Shen Mo had taken the opportunity to show closeness to Xu Qing and gathered followers, then there would have been another way for him to cause serious trouble for Xu Qing.
Yet, inexplicably, this man just left directly, without any intention to seize the opportunity to gather disciples.
These were scholars from South Zhili!
In one's lifetime, it is already not easy to be the main examiner in the provincial examination. What on earth was Shen Junshan thinking?
Even Duke Wei, who was always astute in understanding people's hearts, couldn't figure it out.
Because another identity of Shen Mo was that of the teacher to Prince Yu, the eldest son of the Emperor.
Prince Yu was essentially the Crown Prince.
His gathering of disciples and getting close to Xu Qing would undoubtedly make the suspicious old Emperor feel that Xu Qing was unreliable.
Then, Elder Fang would also give up on Xu Qing.
