Gazing at the familiar surroundings, Chu Mo felt somewhat emotional.
In just two short years, they seemed like a lifetime away. Everything before his eyes was undoubtedly familiar, yet his state of mind had undergone a sea change.
There was no one in the courtyard. Chu Mo, sensitive to energy, sensed an unusual atmosphere.
It seemed... there was an air of desolation looming over the Fan Residence.
What had happened?
Chu Mo wondered to himself.
Just then, the courtyard door was pushed open. A maidservant of the Fan Residence saw Chu Mo, jumped in surprise, and then her face lit up with joy. "Y... Young Master?"
Chu Mo found this maidservant familiar. He suddenly remembered, she was one of the maids whom Miao Yi Niang had hired for him. When he left, he had not taken them with him.
