The autumn wind was just right.
At the source of the Qing River, upon East Lake, a small boat drifted with the wind.
The boat was not large, much, much smaller than the black-canopied vessel he had once taken a thousand miles down the Qing River.
Chu Mu stood alone at the bow. The small boat rocked, and the waves churned.
But Chu Mu stood as if on solid ground, his feet seemingly rooted to the deck. He remained perfectly still, no matter how the waves tossed the boat.
East Lake was vast. According to the *Records of East Lake*, it spanned three commanderies and thirteen counties, making it the largest lake in the northern Chu Kingdom. With a surface area of three thousand miles, it was often called the Three-Thousand-Mile East Lake.
Chu Mu gazed out at the immense lake, his eyes as calm as an old well. Within his field of vision, a Light Curtain Panel flickered in and out of existence.
[Name: Chu Mu.]
