Hong Yan held the bundle containing Lin Wanwan's change of clothes and walked beside her. The middle-aged servant led the way silently, through pavilions and over bridges, into increasingly secluded places.
Lin Wanwan sensed something was wrong and stopped, frowning: "Where exactly are you taking me?"
Hong Yan stepped forward, blocking Lin Wanwan protectively, her wary eyes fixed on the Duke Mansion's servant.
"Lin Le'an, we are almost there. Look, just in that courtyard ahead."
"Ridiculous! Is this how your family hosts guests in a place devoid of any human presence? Do you think I'm a fool?"
Suddenly, a male voice full of laughter rang out: "Wanwan, you've got clever."
Lin Wanwan turned her head to see Xiao Chong descending from the sky, landing two meters in front of her, with several centuries-old precious trees behind him.
Wow! It's actually "Plant Gold" Du Zhong!
