It seemed that the fact that I had not managed to walk out before could only indicate that my luck was not too bad, as I had managed to avoid both the Auspicious and Ominous Gates, always taking directions that led through the Neutral Gate. I couldn't help but wipe off a cold sweat. Neither Han Bing nor Zhang Qingyu reminded me, didn't they fear I might encounter some danger?
"By the way, Zhang Qingyu, are there any dangerous areas in this courtyard?" I asked this to find out what consequences I would face if I went in the direction of the Ominous Gate, meaning the Death, Shock, or Injury Gates.
"Dangerous areas, it seems like there are none, but the master forbids us to set foot in the backyard—it's considered a forbidden area." Perhaps the direction of that forbidden area was the Ominous Gate's.
"Is it over there?" I looked up to the sky to confirm the direction and pointed towards the southwest.
