Nine Bright Province. Egret County.
Lu Ning was completely covered in black robes. He strolled along the empty riverbank under a row of willow trees, and quickly reached an ancient manor with an ornate board nailed to the door.
The black robe he wore was clearly much larger than his person. Lu Ning was only seven years old, but the black robe on him seemed to be supported by something else as his height was increased to an adult's. He covered his face with a white mask.
He had successfully disguised himself as a mysterious figure who roamed the lands.
"Mingxuan Workshop. This should be the place," said the old man's voice in Lu Ning's head.
"Master, what're we going to do next?" Lu Ning asked.
"After this, don't move. Leave everything to me, just like all the other times."
"Alright."
Lu Ning looked up at the entire manor. It was shaped like a windmill which was laid flat on the ground.
