"Young Friend Yang Yan, there is still around a month of time before you head over to the academy. How about you come with us and live in our Lin Clan manor during this time? Our Lin clan welcomes you with open arms and will show you the greatest of hospitality".
Lin Mang spoke, wanting to deepen the relationship between their clan and Yang Chen.
"That won't be necessary. Since I might have some business to attend to, I cannot accept Elder Lin Mang's goodwill. Please drop me near the city gates, I will go my own way from there".
Though he was rejected by Yang Chen who was in no mood for receiving any hospitality.
"I see… in that case, I will not stop young friend Yang Yan..".
Lin Mang relented and leaned back in his seat. The journey continued in the silence of the night.
After a while, just as the carriage reached a relatively secluded area with hills and trees all around, Yang Chen's eyes which were shut closed, suddenly sprang open.
