Chapter 549-1: Vermilion Crown Prince, Buddha Ancestor Manifests (1)

[Wenhua Hall is brightly lit. There are no maidservants or attendants in sight, only a middle-aged man in black robes with his back to you, bent over a small desk, holding a book in his hands and softly reciting…]

[You and the Great White Elephant Demon exchange a glance. The two of you hide behind the screen with great tacit understanding and observe from the shadows.]
[You only hear the woman’s voice come, Your Highness, it is getting late. It should return to the palace.]
