Autumn Equinox has arrived, and the Profound Lake outside the Purple Curtain Cave Residence has been brushed with an extraordinary hue by the autumn air.
Looking out from the cave residence, the lake water of the Profound Lake ripples gently under the caress of the autumn breeze. Sunlight scatters across the lake surface, reflecting a kaleidoscope of colors.
The water is crystal clear, with aquatic plants gently swaying along the water's flow at the bottom. Fish swim in schools, sometimes leaping out of the water, sometimes diving to the bottom, creating a series of sparkling splashes.
Bang! The cave residence that Liou Yuan had kept shut for several days opened with a rumbling sound.
Clad in the moon-white robe of an Inner Sect Disciple, Liou Yuan strode out of the cave residence.
Today was the day Lao Xiuyuan had told him to report to the Criminal Investigation Department at the Inner Sect Disciplinary Hall.
