Yudou was damp in the early morning.
Perhaps it was due to Chen Shi summoning wind and rain last night; while it was only a localized thunderstorm over Mingfeng Pavilion at night, by morning, a drizzling rain enveloped both inside and outside the city walls of Yudou.
The rain was light, yet it washed the bluestone streets clean. Several children braved the drizzle, stomping in the puddles at the street corner, splashing water all over themselves.
Zheng King Temple's Chief Manager, Zhang Ji, braved the rain to check on the body of Maestro Du at Joy Forest, his expression immediately darkening.
Not long after, he moved to the base of the city tower and watched as the government officials carried down Manager Qiu's body from Mingfeng Pavilion.
The matchmaker from Red Lady Society, Madam Xue, had also disappeared, with no trace of her body to be found.
Someone had heard sounds of a fight on the canal's waters last night, and fluctuations of Spell were incredibly intense.
