Liu Changsheng, clad in stark white mourning clothes, was especially conspicuous in the bustling celebration of Huangtong Mansion City.
Many people cast strange glances his way.
Seeing the sword in his hand, which suggested the attire of a chivalrous young martial artist, they dared not inquire further. They steered clear of him as if he were a venomous snake, whispering to themselves only afte he had passed by.
Liu Changsheng paid no attention to any of it.
Along the way, the opulence merely passed him by; the noise and revelry seemed to be beyond his perception.
Carrying his sword, he headed straight for the location of Longxing Martial Arts Hall.
This was his second visit to Huangtong Mansion City.
Last time, however, he had come as an "examiner" from the Five Elements Sect to assess the subordinate martial arts halls. He had been treated with great respect and had come with the intention of touring and relaxing his mind.
It was during that visit that he had met Zhou Heng.
