General Zhen Nan Mansion was located in the north of Qujiang City, near the Imperial Palace.
Yuan Ming, escorted by the city guards, proceeded through the streets where the crowd of common folks gradually dispersed. The wide road was flanked by luxurious, sparse residences, everything appeared just as Yuan Ming had seen during Wang Shun's possession.
From afar, the sight of a five-story tall Eight Treasures Pointed Gray Tower entered Yuan Ming's view, stirring an impatient excitement inside him.
Suddenly, the city guard leading the way paused; Yuan Ming instinctively looked up and saw many people standing in front of the mansion gate.
Leading the group were a man and a woman. The man had a tall, robust frame, standing motionless like a mountain stele, though his temples were grey and his eyes misty.
