Outside the hall, heavy snow was falling.
After a brief wait in silence, a few figures slowly appeared in the courtyard, led in by a guard from Shuixie Manor.
The one in the center was Gu Zhan.
He wore a black embroidered robe, covered with a long black cloak, a jade crown upon his head, walking in at a measured pace. He did not look like a merciless God of Slaughter; rather, he bore the air of a noble family's young lord.
Beside Gu Zhan followed an Embroidered Uniform Guard, holding an umbrella for him, his waist girded with a Brocade Spring Saber and carrying a Horizontal Saber on his back, along with several other Embroidered Uniform Guards.
