Chapter 208: The Shen Family
As they spoke, the two arrived before an exquisite courtyard residence.
The courtyard walls weren't high, built from stacked bluestone and covered with verdant vines, revealing a black lacquered wooden gate.
"Senior Brother Chen, this is your residence at Xuwang Mountain." Huang Changming smiled as he pushed open the courtyard gate and stepped aside to invite Chen Qing inside.
Entering the gate revealed a courtyard paved with blue stone slabs, swept spotlessly clean.
The courtyard was square and spacious. On the left side was a small fish pond with several koi leisurely swaying their tails, the pond's edge decorated with jagged stones.
On the right side was a rockery carefully built from white jade stones with clear spring water trickling through, producing pleasant tinkling sounds.
Passing through the courtyard was the main building with flying eaves and interlocking brackets, bright windows and clean furnishings.
Behind the building, a small carefully tended garden could vaguely be seen, planted with flowers and plants whose names he couldn't identify.
Although Chen Qing knew inner sect disciple treatment was exceptional, he hadn't expected it to be so thorough and luxurious, far more spacious and refined than when he was at Five Terraces Sect.
