Scene in Dream (1/3)
A few days before going to the Cimmerian Peaks.
The evening sun cast a warm, golden glow upon the elegant courtyard of Master Wei Jiantai's residence. Lush bonsai trees and fragrant blossoms adorned the surroundings, their presence lending an air of tranquillity to the scene.
Jiang Xicheng, dressed in a robe of deep blue adorned with intricate silver embroidery, strode alongside Wei Liuxian. Both men exuded an aura of strength and purpose as they approached the grand wooden doors of the master's study.
With a gentle knock, the doors creaked open, revealing the aged Master Wei Jiantai, seated behind a lacquered desk. His eyes, though clouded with the passage of years, still radiated a piercing wisdom that had earned him reverence throughout the realm. The room was adorned with scrolls and artefacts, a testament to the master's decades of dedication to the arts of both war and cultivation.
