Chapter 1289: Boundless Dao Discussion
Capital City was engulfed in an unexpected storm, with clouds that blotted out the sun; a heavy rain suddenly shrouded the entire city.
The common folk, oblivious to what was happening, had closed their shops early and returned to their dwellings, while the few who were aware of the situation were shaking in trepidation, fearful that this inexplicable tempest might touch their lives.
In the heart of Capital City, within a siheyuan, several servants were gathering the delicate items that had been left to dry in the courtyard, whispering among themselves without the slightest hint of panic about the turmoil that had emerged so suddenly.
"Hey, do you know what’s going on? Which family has stirred up some big trouble now?"
"Who knows? Quite a lot has been happening in Capital City lately: The appearance of the Demonic Path, and those life-or-death battles at the Demon Slayer Department. There hasn’t been a quiet day. Fortunately, no matter how big the storm, it doesn’t reach our courtyard."
"That’s right. As long as the master is here, even if the sky falls, it won’t be a problem, not to mention that the young mistress has recently become a ’Land Immortal,’ as the legends say."
Hearing his companion speak so recklessly, another servant immediately covered his mouth, nervously warning, "Don’t speak carelessly!"
"What’s wrong?"
"Remember, here in the Ye Family, you can talk about many things, but if you truly want to stay here, it’s best not to utter a word about matters concerning the young mistress."
"Understood."
He spoke cautiously and then glanced back at the room behind them, whispering, "There’s so much commotion over there. Is the master really not going to check it out?"
