Chu Fan's cold gaze swept over the servant girl's despair-filled eyes, then fell upon the fawning steward. He gave an expressionless nod, not uttering a single word.
Seeing this, the lead servant bowed repeatedly and waved his hand, signaling his men to quickly drag her away and not linger.
The group soon vanished into the depths of the night, and a deathly silence returned to the garden.
Chu Fan took another slow stroll around the garden before turning to head back to his quarters.
As he walked, a profoundly strange sensation suddenly washed over him…
Something was wrong.
Very wrong.
Chu Fan stopped dead in his tracks and looked up at the sky.
At some point, the Blood Moon, which had been clearly visible on the horizon, had become hazy and indistinct, as if shrouded by an invisible black veil.
This wasn't just a case of ordinary clouds obscuring the moon.
