Chen Rui led Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao back to his residence.
Walking along the stone slab road leading to the mansion, both were lost in their own thoughts, but they simultaneously noticed their surroundings.
Chen Rui's residence was located in one of the most prosperous areas within the Jiang Ancient Clan, surrounded by grand and ancient mansions, clearly inhabited by people of remarkable status.
In front of the mansion stood a stone bridge, beneath which flowed a clear stream, its waters murmuring; occasionally, bright-colored fish could be seen swimming, creating a tranquil scene that soothed one's spirit.
Arriving at the main gate, the first sight was the imposing grand entrance.
This grand gate towered at least two zhang high, embedded with dozens of precious Luminous Pearls the size of fists, sparkling under the sunlight.
On each side of the gate stood a majestic stone lion, so lifelike that they seemed ready to leap down from their stone pedestals to pounce on visitors.
