Sylvia Camian nodded in a approval. "It's good to continue our friendship with them. They are a wise people, and good scholars."

 

Xiong Mei wondered if this meant she was now qualified to practice law in Norland as well. As such, she made a point of making a quick note in her notebook to inquire about the subject with someone.
