In the courtyard of the Xuanjing Division.
Zeng Anmin watched Qin Shouchang confront the enormous fish monster before him.
A scrawny old man, frail enough to seem as though a gust of wind could knock him over.
Perhaps if he tripped over a brick while walking a few steps, he might accidentally fall to his death.
