"Lili, we're finally here."
Those words from Old Master Ding prompted Liliana to unconsciously straighten her back. Holding her eyes straight ahead of her, she threw her gaze to the outside of the car's front window.
A majestic mansion with traditional architecture stood in the middle of a vast land, as far as the eye could see. With just a look, one could tell that the place possessed a rich history.
Several buildings made up the entire mansion They were surrounded by an ethereally manicured garden of cobbled pathways, moss-covered lanterns, wooden pavilions and various kinds of plants.
"This... is the ancestral home?" asked Liliana despite she already knew the answer. She was unable to move her eyes away from the mansion.
"This is where our foundation lies," Old Master Ding's smile softened. His eyes had a trace of melancholy at the sight of his childhood home, "Even though hundreds of years have passed, it still stands tall."
Yes! It's getting closer now ;)
