The Society, Imperial Court, or The World—None of My Business

Along the side of Beiluo Lake, there was a road paved with black stone bricks.

A donkey cart wobbled as it moved along the road. The carriage was old and shabby and was made of dry, rotten wood. In the cart, a young man wearing a dark blue gown sat cross-legged. He held a stick that had a carrot attached to it by a string, and dangled it in front of the donkey's face.

The donkey huffed out warm air through its nostrils as it tried to reach the carrot.

The young man sat leisurely, enjoying the lake and the beautiful scenery around it.

"Such a nice place. Perfect to spend my old age in."

"I heard that the girls at Drunk Dust City are exceptional, with great talent and skills. But I don't know if that's true."

The young man used one hand to prop up his chin, while one of his legs started shaking restlessly.

He had a dreamy look on his face.
