As previously mentioned, the architectural structure of the Shenzhu branch family was largely the same as that of the Magong Main Family, including the identical entrance halls on the first floor.
Beichuan Si stepped down from the entrance hall and pushed open the main door.
Cherry trees, flower pond.
The cherry trees had begun to bud, but the blossoms in the pond had already disappeared early on, and the originally clear water had turned into a murky black.
After all, the flowers floating on the surface were very delicate things, and without someone to care for them, they wouldn't need nine years to go extinct; they would naturally die out entirely.
This must be the location of the story that Magong Yongshi told about the shrine maiden's encounter with the man.
"But the most crucial thing now is the identity of that shrine maiden."
Magong Yongshi was a very astute girl. She wouldn't speak without purpose; the story she told must have had her own intentions.
