The ride towards the Shi domains was unlike our bored gamer's walk to the gates. It was not uneventful nor was it lonely in the least.
The roads were pretty much packed with people and the myriad artistic lanterns gave colors to the otherwise inky dark night.
If one did not know any better then he would easily mistake this event for a city wide festival. Alas, one would assume that and he would be dead wrong to have such thoughts.
In truth, this was merely a show of the tacit cooperation amongst the clans nearby. Almost everyone was quite adamant to please the newly arisen power in Aurora.
This was of course none other than our bored gamer inside a very luxurious carriage.
The trip towards the Shi Family would have only taken 5 minutes tops but with how enthusiastic everyone was, the time of arrival was expected to happen in no less than 30 minutes tonight.
"Master Clark!"
"Master Clark!"
"Master Clark!"
