Bai Youwei walked into the glowing square, inside everything was shrouded in white, no different than whenever she entered the labyrinth.
She continued to walk inward.
Gradually, the fog dispersed, and she could feel the smooth asphalt beneath her feet, the air in her nostrils becoming moist. Proceeding forward, she then saw a massive European-style iron gate standing before her.
The gate was magnificent and grand, with each iron bar standing straight, intertwined with openwork rose patterns, lavish and stately.
To either side of the gate were tall courtyard walls.
Beyond that, there were only trees.
Poplar, elm, birch, cherry trees… and many others that Bai Youwei could not name.
Bai Youwei saw a display screen on the column beside the gate; she walked over and pressed the call button.
After a moment, two security guards came over, one of whom, through the gate, asked her identity.
Bai Youwei handed over her friend's invitation card for them to see.
