Chapter 5 - 005: Stop Fighting, All of You Stop Fighting
The Chen Mansion truly lives up to its reputation as one of the top wealthy merchant families in Jiangdu City.
The property is enormous.
The sound of combat seems close, but it's actually a bit far away.

Lin Fan moved with light, careful steps, alert to his surroundings, afraid that a stray flying blade might take him down accidentally.
Inner courtyard, backyard.
As he got closer, the ferocious sounds of fighting continually pounded against his heart, making it thump uncontrollably.
"The stuff written in novels isn't a lie—shockwaves really can kill people," Lin Fan muttered, deeply realizing how insignificant he was, and knowing he needed to find a way to improve his strength.
To the left was a rockery, to the right a flower bed.
He had to hide in the flower bed—it was common knowledge that in intense battles, rockeries were almost always smashed into rubble.
If he hid behind the rockery, he'd likely end up dead.
