Chapter 174: Cui Nanxi's Yunding Mountain Stories
Once inside the city, the ground was noticeably cleaner, so walking became much easier.
The Daoist strolled leisurely along the street, passing through the city. He slowly made his way back to Willow Tree Street.
The willow trees were lush and green in the height of summer, and there was a small building with a flag bearing the character “Dao” at the entrance. The shop sign read “Rodent Extermination,” but the main door was tightly locked. There were no vendors setting up stalls outside, making it quite tranquil.
It seemed as if no one knew that the recent uproar concerning the Grand Commander’s residence was caused by the Daoist living here.
The Daoist walked over and opened the door.
“Creak…” He opened the door and then closed it behind him.
However, the wooden door wasn’t very secure; the afternoon sunlight streamed through the cracks, casting slanted beams of light across the dim room. At first, his eyes weren’t used to the light, and he felt it was a bit dark. But after a moment, he was able to catch the scattered rays illuminating the interior.
There was hardly any change in the house.
The dim room contrasted sharply with the bright light outside, the blazing sun with the coolness inside, creating a typical summer atmosphere.
