Inside the Passageway Wall lay an expanse of space so vast it seemed empty.
Three sides held nothing at all. From the fourth hung layer upon layer of gauzy curtains, like flowers glimpsed through mist.
The Linru County Marquis Residence stood behind those curtains!
And that was not all. Through the layered curtains, Chen Cuo could faintly make out the grounds beyond the Quiet Chamber and the Pavilions stretching around the residence. At a glance, they formed the outline of Jiankang City. Farther still, earth and sky met without any visible boundary!
