The group set out in the morning and only reached the so-called Eastern Mausoleum at dusk.
Yet standing outside the Eastern Mausoleum, all Chen Miao could see was a sea of mist.
"The Eastern Mausoleum is hidden. It isn't an ordinary burial mountain, after all. There's no need for ordinary people to see it."
As a competent "guide," Kong Yue offered her explanation at just the right moment.
Not long after Kong Yue finished speaking, the three people in the carriage finally got out.
Chen Miao recognized the man in front. His name was Wu Bin, the right-hand man of Fire-Banner Commander Han Yu, and the same person who had announced the recruits' appointments.
He was not particularly friendly toward Demon-Suppressing Guards from prominent families.
Wu Bin normally handled dealings with the burial mountains. Since this assignment had fallen to the Fire-Banner Commander, he had been sent along.
Beside Wu Bin stood Chen Wei, the Incense-Burning Chen Family's heir serving in the Demon-Suppressing Bureau this term.
Chen Miao and the others could only follow on horseback, while Chen Wei got to ride in the carriage.
There was no denying that people were treated differently.
Chen Miao turned to glance at the others beside him.
Wang Tingsong and his two companions showed little reaction. After all, the Incense-Burning Heir held a certain standing among the Yin Cultivation families, so this was only natural.
On the other side, however, the three new Demon-Suppressing Guards from the Bureau itself were looking at Chen Wei with some hostility.
Chen Miao felt that a single battle should be enough to change their opinion of Chen Wei.
A battle that drove them to despair, but that Chen Wei could resolve simply by burning a handful of incense...
On Chen Wei's other side stood an old man.
