Chapter 587
The next morning, Hidden Vanguard City was bustling with activity again.
Chui Yim and Siu Fu made their way to the heart of Hidden Vanguard City.
Hidden Vanguard City was a small-scale city, and it was always intended to be as such. It was not meant to be like the South’s Five, taking up twice the size of a normal city, nor was it meant to be as exaggerated as South Imperial City, where the four avenues – Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird – were each the size of a normal city.
Thus, it was a relatively fast journey to the city center. Just like any other city, the city center was the heart of the city, playing an important role just like the Evergreen Palace to South Imperial City. It also symbolized status and power.
However, here at Hidden Vanguard City, it was not merely where the city lord resided. There was another palace built opposite the city lord’s residence – a jade palace.
The palace looked like it was a piece of art made of ice jade, shimmering under the mild sunlight in deep winter. In Chui Yim’s eyes, it looked more like a tower.
It was nine stories high, towering over the city lord’s residence, yet everyone was fine with it.
This was the Heaven Jade Tower, the residence of water-casting grandmaster Mok Ching Sau.
Rumor had it that it was made of ice jade, a material that absorbed chillness and stored it.
