Of course, her laugh was silent. But a sense of pride and power was within her laugh. Everyone who saw it would know that she was laughing openly.
She didn’t wait for Chen Chang Sheng’s departure. The woman stood up and walked towards the depth of Herb Garden.
Chen Chang Sheng thought for a moment and followed up.
The nightly gale blew lightly, the leaves fell upon the stone table and swirled around the teapot and the teacup.
For twenty years, the teacup and the teapot had been used by its owner. No one knew how long it would be until the next time.
What surprised Chen Chang Sheng was that the middle aged woman didn’t go to Tradition Academy, rather she went straight into the depths of the Herb Garden. She arrived at the old and broken down palace wall. Looking at that old door, he then realized that her way was different from the path of Mo Yu.
The middle aged woman didn’t bother with him, nor did she mind him following. She took out the key and inserted it into the lock. After two clicks, the lock opened. The old wooden door was pushed open and she walked in.
Until this point, Chen Chang Sheng knew nothing dangerous would happen. He calmed his heart and relaxed the hand that was holding the handle tightly. He looked at the back of the woman and yelled lightly. He wanted to say something but the door unexpected shut quickly before his eyes.
She left just like this? He was stumped, but after realizing she couldn’t hear voices, Chen Chang Sheng was relieved.
The closed wooden door somehow seemed to be a part of the palace wall.
He looked at the door and was confused.
Were the things that happened tonight actually real?
Why were they so similar to the fairytales in the scrolls?
But the bittersweet taste of tea was still swirling around in his mouth.
That warm feeling of contact was still on his face.
He shook his head, turned around and left.
On the other side of the door exists a long hallway.
Around the hallway were moss and ivies, beneath the ivies were at least six types of traps and seals that could kill xiuxingists of the Starfusion stage.
The hallway was constructed with stone bricks.
The middle aged woman stepped upon the stone bricks and walked forward slowly. Her expression changed gradually.
Just after dozens of steps, a sense of immense power returned to her body.
That seemingly ordinary complexion became a great beauty.
Not the weak and soft kind of pretty, but the shiny and blinding type of radiance.
When she walked out of the hallway, the surroundings changed as well.
Under the night sky, the Royal Palace stood in eternity.
