Feng Bailing lingered no more and headed for Lan Courtyard.
Lan Courtyard was adjacent to Bamboo Court; as she neared it, Feng Bailing caught the pleasant scent of flowers.
She advanced a few steps.
And saw a desolate courtyard.
The walls were crumbling, and wild grass grew everywhere.
The fragrance came from several stubbornly growing wild orchids.
Unlike the well-kept Bamboo Court, Lan Courtyard was somewhat dilapidated, seemingly neglected for years.
Lan Courtyard had three rooms; Feng Bailing pushed open the door of the main house and entered.
As soon as she pushed the door, dust fluttered down.
Feng Bailing covered her nose and mouth, took a step forward, and paused underfoot.
A painting was hanging in front.
The painting was of a woman's... back.
Although the face was indistinct, the woman's silhouette was faintly discernible, compelling one to stop and hold their breath at a glance.
"Dugu Yunruo."
