"I need some place quiet where I can plan my journey further." Gu Fan told Song Tianyu.
"If big brother requires a secluded place, then I have the perfect place," Song Tianyu declared suddenly, "Come, let me show it to you."
And with that he eagerly led the masked senior away from the bustling merchant district, quickly navigating him through the sprawling territory of the Song Clan estate until they reached a highly secluded, beautiful courtyard hidden deep within a thick bamboo grove that was completely shielded from the prying eyes of the rest of his family.
"This private courtyard belongs solely to me, big brother, and absolutely no one else in the Song Clan is permitted to step foot near it without my explicit jade token," Song Tianyu explained proudly as he pushed open the heavy ironwood gates, gesturing for Gu Fan to step inside the massive compound.
