Pei Ye left the courtyard lights behind, heading deep into the secluded mountain peaks.
Passing through the quiet and misty fog, he walked along a long straight path. Looking back, the Enforcement Hall was already submerged in the fog.
After what felt like an eternity, an ancient high tower built against the mountain stood before him, its iron color weathered by time.
It was Pei Ye's second visit to this ancient tower. As he pushed the door open and entered, it was as if he was drowned by a sea of paper. In the deep of night, the entire massive tower was empty and silent. Pei Ye approached the shelves to search for the record of items taken seven years ago, the period before Zhang Meiqing left the mountain after the incident... There were no records of any men entering the tower.
It was expected that such secrets would not be proclaimed. In the dimly lit hall with only a few sporadic candles, Pei Ye lit one for himself and proceeded deeper into the building.
