Chương 266: The Path I Should Take

Mei sat back in her seat and looked around her surroundings. This beautiful palace was now hers. But the responsibility for receiving such a gift was heavy. Although the young woman said it was up to her if she went to find the origin or if she wanted to continue to try to live a peaceful life. The warning that the young woman left made Mei realize that a peaceful life might not be possible. 

Letting out a sigh, Mei finished off the tea in her cup and ate a pastry before getting up and walking towards the doors to the palace. She placed her hand on the door to push it open but found that it would not budge no matter how hard she pushed against it. Stepping back from the door, Mei looked the door over until her eyes fell on a small slot between the crevice of the door. Thinking for a moment, Mei took out the pendant and stuck the bottom of it into the slot.
