...
Shi Mu stood at the entrance of the bamboo forest outside the home of brother Ling Feng and let out a sigh. Like a red streak, he shot off into the distance.
After a short time, his figure fell again but this time, at the courtyard of his residence.
"Welcome back, young master!"
A few attendants who happened to pass by the courtyard saw Shi Mu and quickly bowed down respectfully as they greeted his arrival.
Shi Mu's heart was still wondering about what brother Ling Feng had told him. He walked passed them without taking a glance or two as he walked toward the depths of his residence.
Just as he had taken two steps away, he suddenly remembered something and immediately turned back to look at the attendants.
"Has anyone of you seen Cai?"
"Master Cai brought some people to the spirit fountain," one of the attendants quickly replied.
"Alright then," Shi Mu nodded and turned back to walk toward the residence.
