Yao Fan laughed and said: "Brother, you are quite uninformed. In a short while, the number of scholars in our Jade City will multiply, and eminent scholars from all over the world will flock to our Jade City. Heh, that grand scene is something not easily seen."
Chang Zixqiang asked: "Brother Yao, how do you know this?"
Yao Fan said: "Our Yao Clan, after all, is a prominent family in Jade City. Since we have properties within the city, how could we have none outside? Naturally, our information is much more accessible, and... our Yao Clan has regular correspondence with some great scholars and wealthy patrons, a few of whom are good friends of our clan. Just through snippets of conversation, one can gradually hear a thing or two."
Li Xian laughed and said: "If that's the case, won't we be kept quite busy when the time comes?"
