Mu Ge moved her gaze and was too lazy to ask further.
Luodu is the Capital City of Qin Country. It’s planned as a city within a city.
It’s divided into the Outer City, Inner City, and the Imperial City.
In short, the Outer City is where the civilians live, and it’s the main comrcial bustling area. The Inner City is where officials reside. The Imperial City, naturally, is the territory of the Imperial Family.
Within the Imperial City, there’s also the Imperial Palace, which is the Emperor’s lair.
Although the Mu Mansion has been granted the title of Duke Yongning, it’s not part of the Imperial Family, so it can only reside in the Inner City. Yet, the location of the Mu Mansion is very close to the Imperial City, in the best area of the Inner City. The area it occupies is remarkably vast; according to Mu Qingge, she’s grown so big but never fully explored the Mu Mansion.
Of course, Mu Ge could also understand that Mu Qingge’s ambition wasn’t to roam around the Mu Mansion, but to ’make her na famous’ outside.
In any case, the Mu Mansion is huge!
"Establishnt of the hereditary Duke Yongning Mansion..." Standing under the tiered stairs, looking at the stone monunt after dismounting her horse. Mu Ge raised her chin, gazing at the majestic, solemn gate.
The eaves are more than a zhang high, red columns stand erect, black lacquered copper nails, and beast-headed door rings. On both sides of the gate, there are side doors. On the seventh layer of steps, each one has a statue of an exotic beast, imposing and fierce, silent and murderous.
Gazing at the gate, Mu Ge seed to feel the sound of war drums, the clarion call of charge, with her blood instinctively surging. She once was a soldier, and now the Mu Mansion is a military family; she seed to find a resonance between Mu Ge and the Mu Mansion.
Above the gate, hung three plaques.
The topmost one, vermillion lacquered with golden characters, is what Mu Ge had murmured earlier.
The establishnt by royal decree is an honor many yearn for but cannot obtain.
The Royal Family’s bestownt represents the Mu Family’s favored status among the major families in Luodu.
The second plaque, black lacquer as board, vermillion as ink. It reads ’National Guardian General Mansion’. These words carry a sharp and fierce intent, as if one could see the bloody battlefield.
The final plaque, compared to the previous two, is truly understated. It is rely a plaque of ordinary material, inscribed with ’Mu Mansion’.
"Enter, or have you forgotten our ho after being away for a few days?" Mu Xiong noticed Mu Ge remained motionless, then patted her shoulder, urging her to enter the mansion.
...
Chi Yun Garden
Within the Mu Mansion, the scenery is most beautiful and the environnt tranquil; this is the private courtyard belonging to the young master of the Mu Mansion, Mu Qingge.
The Mu Family has few mbers, stemming from military roots. Hence, there’s no strict distinction between the Inner and Outer Courts. Except for the few masters of the Mu Family who have their own yards, most of the yards remain closed throughout the year.
Nevertheless, Mu Qingge’s external identity is a man, so her Chi Yun Garden is far from the areas where the won of the mansion reside. One might say that unless intentionally sought, it’s difficult to et the won of the mansion within the Mu Mansion.
Besides, due to Mu Qingge’s sensitivity towards her gender, and her character, there are very few maidservants and attendants in her courtyard. Only two closest maidservants attend to her daily life, the gentle You He and the charming and lively Hua Yue.
These two girls, similar in age to Mu Qingge, serve her well every day and never guard her room at night, naturally on her request.
For Mu Ge, this actually saves a lot of trouble.
Besides these two, Mu Qingge also has an attendant student to accompany her in reading. However, as a playboy, she has no interest in scholarly poems, so she sent this attendant nad Mo Yang to the academy to study on her behalf early on.
You He and Hua Yue are not unfamiliar with Mu Qingge. But Mu Ge is not acquainted with them.
With Mu Qingge’s help, she quickly dismissed the two and locked herself in the room, using rest as an excuse to avoid disturbance. In reality, she sat cross-legged on the bed and entered ditation.
In her past life, besides her ruthless assassination skills, she relied on dual abilities. Cultivation of superpowers, enhancing abilities, is achieved by ditation to improve spiritual power.
Now, finally settled down, she has ti to thoroughly examine what is left in her space.
The man-made explosion not only shattered her but also cleanly eliminated those who conspired against her. That person probably never imagined at the mont of death that she would be ruthless enough to drag him into Hell with her.
Even now, as soon as Mu Ge closes her eyes, she can see that person’s final look of shock and fear.
At that ti, amidst the explosion, Mu Ge seed to feel her space being affected, perhaps related to her spiritual power dispersing.
After rebirth, she found her Thunder Ability still intact, and her space still existed, which gave her hope.
That day, rejecting the proposal from that guy, not only because of her pride but also because of her space. She distinctly rembered her last mission was to steal sothing. And at that ti, where she placed the treasure coveted by all nations.
Crack—!
A faint sound echoed in Mu Ge’s mind.
The familiar sensation sparked joy within her heart: ’It’s open!’
