After handling various documents with Madam Feng, amidst a whirlwind of activity, Huo Sining stayed in Jin City for a day. Holding the old lady's papers, she rushed to the Imperial Capital without pause. Upon reaching the Capital City, she called the number she had for Gu Xu.
The person on the other end was perhaps already briefed by Gu Xu. Receiving Huo Sining's call without surprise, they politely inquired about her specific address and drove over, received the old lady's documents, and asked Huo Sining to await further news.
Huo Sining did not inquire how long it would take, she simply thanked them and parted ways.
Upon arrival in the Imperial Capital, the first task was to visit the elders of the Huang, Lu, and Gu families. After visiting each household, Huo Sining went to Zhou Shitao's place, handing over the package of Jinsu Mountain Buddhist Scripture Paper and the ancient painting suspected to be by Li Tang that she had found in Dongyang to her mentor.
