When Emerald Sparrow arrived at the spot where Yuan was, Yuan was already leisurely waiting there for a while.
She didn't stand below the stone tower to wait but purposely advanced a distance, stopping the group from Fangting City before they reached the mountaintop.
The mountain woods here were rarely visited by people, hence the trees were tall and dense, and the surroundings were enveloped in a thick curtain of darkness. The robust ancient trees moaned deeply under the caress of the night wind. All sounds were eventually swallowed by the accumulated snow, leaving only silence.
Behind her was a small path, winding and lost to the night, barely discernible in outline as if it led directly to the mountaintop. The distant mountains, hidden in dense darkness, seemed to merge seamlessly with heaven and earth, indistinguishable.
And Yuan stood there quietly. The occasional soft snow falling from the treetops stained her shoulders, adding a touch of white to her black robe.
