On the way back to the Miao Medicine Tower, Feng Hao happened to pass the turnoff to the City Lord's Mansion. He paused for a moment, thinking it over, and decided he should go say goodbye to the Old City Lord.
Even though the Old City Lord already knew he was leaving, a proper farewell was still necessary.
The City Lord's Mansion was as quiet and deserted as ever. If Feng Hao hadn't known the Old City Lord lived here, he might have mistaken it for an abandoned residence. Inside and out, aside from the overgrown plants, there wasn't the slightest trace of human life.
Cloaked in the darkness of night, the place had a grim, terrifying feel. The occasional gust of cold wind seemed to seep deep into one's bones.
"Young man, what brings you to see me so late?" The Old City Lord's ethereal voice rang out, seeming to come from all directions at once.
A smile touched Feng Hao's lips as he gently pushed open the old wooden door, which let out a piercing CREAK.
