The guard escorted the village head out before quickly returning to Xu Feng's side and leading him on the path to Blooming Courtyard. Xu Feng was thankful for the man's discretion. He only had a small picture of what had been going on in the last few months, but it was a vivid one.
The man seemed a bit suspicious at first, but now, Xu Feng felt more confident following his lead. He had a somewhat good grasp on judging people… it was good enough.
The guard seemed to look at the hidden bundles on Xu Feng's body with respect, and affection—possibly—anyone who instantly loved his sons, was good people!
From the guard house, they passed the main reception hall. It was still quite early, but even under the early morning light, it was clear the estate had been kept well.
