Wu Long arrived back at the Peak of Unity near midnight after sending off the Imperial Princess back to her lodgings.
Song Lingfei was deep in thoughts and was slightly melancholic the rest of the stroll, so it mostly was spent in silence. Though she did not suspend the walk despite that, and only reluctantly agreeing when Wu Long suggested that it was time for her to return.
As he went into the mansion of the Palace Master, her attendants told him to move directly into the private part of the mansion, and as he did, he then heard Lian Zhiqiu's voice guiding him through the passages.
What guided him were Sound Transmissions, an ability cultivators gained after reaching Mortal Transcendence Realm.
As he went through the numerous passages bypassing a courtyard, and going through a rather long corridor, he entered a secluded area. Even before arriving he could feel the rising temperature and humidity, and that specific aroma of hot springs.
