Water Master was invited to a banquet at the Yú Yìfēi palace, She was late and wasn't planning on showing up as usual but when she saw Earth Master going there whom she had been following secretly all day, it was time for a change of plans, ShuîYuê still needed to substantiate a few things and it seemed this banquet would gladly help her so here she was late albeit there,
The palace was more vibrant than usual, many friends of Yìfēi were invited and it was huddled, a small group of female officials noticed Water Master entering the main hall discreetly, " You know I heard a rumour," official Lee Chang began, her friends turned to her with their interests piqued, " I heard Water Master returned all of the gifts official Wen Jie sent,"
" I did, too!" Jiang Shen chimed in lowering her voice, " She doesn't accept gifts from any officials,"
" Who's Water Master?" An Meizong, an official who had been deployed to the borders questioned curiously,
Lee Chang smiled, sharing an amused mischievous look with Jiang Shen, " Well, you have seen the elementals?" An Meizong nodded her head, " This banquet is being hosted by Wind Master,"
" Official Lee, I am aware of that," An Meizong said with an annoyed look, Lee Chang chuckled, taking a wine glass,
" So out of the four elementals, Water Master is the least popular one, or should I rephrase the most hated one," Lee Chang informed, smiling at the other officials,
" Why?" An Meizong questioned confused,
" Ahh, little Meizong is new. She isn't aware of Water Master's popularity among the other officials," Official Jiang Shen teased the younger official,
" You see, Water Master is the only official who has taken on the highest number of solo missions," Lee Chang added, handing a cup of wine to An Meizong,
" I haven't received any solo missions yet," An Meizong informed with a sad pout,
"You shouldn't have, solo missions are dangerous and assigned personally by the Emperor," Jiang Shen told, munching on some fruits,
" So why isn't Water Master popular? Has she messed up those missions?" An Meizong inquired, taking a sip of the bitter wine,
" As a matter of fact not one solo or group mission has been messed up by Water Master, she's one of the most respected officials while still hated," Lee Chang answered watching more officials entering through the main hall's door,
" Is she rude?" An Meizong asked, eyeing Water Master who stood in a corner,
" Surprisingly she's very respectful with her words, it's just she doesn't go by the usual norms of Heavenly Court, attending banquets hosted by other officials, speaking to them outside of work, and doesn't socialise at all," Jiang Shen responded running a hand through her hair,
" I read it's obligatory to attend banquets of Martial Hall," An Meizong said, looking up at the older officials,
" Yes, it is, but His Majesty only hosts two banquets a year one before New Year, and one on his birthday, Water Master attends them both since they are mandatory, but doesn't attend other banquets, not even of senior officials,"
