Great Xia, Imperial Capital.
After the turmoil at dusk, a courtyard in Earl Changyuan's manor, known as Lang Huan Garden, was sealed off. The Female Emperor of Great Xia personally assigned people to guard Lang Huan Garden, preventing others from inadvertently disturbing this place of tranquility.
This matter became the talk of the upper echelons of the entire Imperial Capital; countless nobles were curious to witness the Lang Huan Garden.
Half a month ago, the long-sealed Lang Huan Garden was opened once again, and all the nobility in the Imperial Capital who had experienced the turmoil at dusk were aware that this meant the Supreme Taoist had returned.
Inside Lang Huan Garden, Shen Yuan sat cross-legged under a date tree holding a scroll, yet his eyes were slightly closed as if he was deep in sleep.
This moment was the time for a midday nap, and hundreds of thousands in the Imperial Capital were immersed in sleep.
