As they walked out of the bamboo forest, Song Changsheng glanced back toward the bamboo house, moved by some strange impulse. He hadn't noticed it on his way in, but now he found the place vaguely familiar.
'It's just like the bamboo forest from my dream... a similar bamboo house, and a pond. Could this have been that Elder Xiao's residence?' Song Changsheng wondered.
Just then, Qian Duoyu turned to Song Changsheng and said, "Let's head to the Dao Discussion Hall first. Although the Great City Lord won't be giving a sermon today, several Purple Mansion Cultivators will be discussing the Dao. For Cultivators at our level, it's a rare opportunity."
Song Changsheng had no objection and followed behind Qian Duoyu. The more he looked around, the more familiar everything seemed, which only strengthened his suspicion. He couldn't help but ask, "Steward Qian, forgive my forwardness, but is there a Purple Mansion Elder in Luoxia City with the surname Xiao?"
