Taiji Palace was the height of luxury, its air thick with a bewitching fragrance.
Inside the bedroom, a massive display rack, the size of an entire wall, showcased a wide array of items: tea sets, musical instruments, fans, carvings, jewelry...
It had everything imaginable.
Liang Wan stood quietly before the display rack, examining the items one by one.
"You seem to like them?"
Gao Qian approached from behind and stopped beside her, watching her with an amused smile.
"I do."
"Do you know what these are?"
"I do."
"Heh... and you're not afraid?"
Liang Wan tilted her head to meet his smile. "I'm not."
"Why not?"
"Taiji Palace is a place of supreme honor. To find a home here is a blessing they must have cultivated for several lifetimes."
"Oh?"
"Rather than being devoured by worms and ants in the yellow earth, turning to a pile of rot, how could it not be a fortune to remain here?"
"You truly are interesting!"
