Lin Fei arrived at the City Lord Mansion; despite its modest surroundings, the Mansion itself exuded grandeur. Inside, it was resplendent in gold—the place was clearly gilded!
This was not just the effect of sunlight, but genuine gold plating. Lin Fei could see it immediately, which left him astonished.
"It seems this City Lord has amassed quite a bit of wealth at the expense of the people!" Lin Fei remarked.
For someone like Lin Fei, with a background as a mercenary, such opulent palaces were utterly useless—they served no purpose here. If dynasties changed, wouldn't it all crumble?
Although Lin Fei didn't quite understand, he wouldn't stop others from appreciating such splendor; it was a matter of differing perspectives. Just like how some believe apples should be eaten fresh, while others think they should be stored to make wine—the difference in outlook is evident.
Wine and raisins are different indeed, but each has its own appeal.
