Chapter Two
...
The quiet chamber Wu Ming had prepared for Qin Fang was the study of the Elder of the Wu Family, furnished with many volumes of books, most of which were ancient editions, and their texts were all in Classical Chinese.
These were all passed down through generations of the Wu Family. Some had been damaged, and the remaining ones were greatly cherished. Even though these books were not worth a lot of money, the elders always valued anything passed down from their ancestors.
The reason for choosing this place was mainly because there was a small partition inside the study, essentially an ancient secret chamber. Its mechanism was broken, so the Wu Family members simply fitted a door, which turned it into a rather tranquil space.
