Because Chu Lingxuan had brought Ming with him, he didn't ride a horse but rather traveled by boat. They arrived outside Dingzhou in the evening and directly went to the Luo's estate. He had hidden something in the estate's secret chamber and needed to retrieve it before taking a horse carriage back to the countryside the next day.
Now the Luo's estate was just guarded by a few servants.
Looking around, although renovations had been made, traces of the fire could still be seen. Chen Afu intentionally left these traces as a reminder to Liao Chen that he shouldn't impulsively return to stay outside of Dingzhou.
Thinking about the brutal past, a surge of anger rose again in Chu Lingxuan's heart. He looked down at Ming and said, "My son, study hard, train hard in martial arts. Only when you have skills, can you protect your family from harm."
Ming didn't really understand, but still nodded confusedly.
