Following the scent of the flowers, Su Yan cautiously made his way toward the window. The floral fragrance was indeed coming from that direction. It was very faint. It smelled like Clear Mountain Chrysanthemums.
Quickly, Su Yan followed the fragrance to the lower left corner of the window. There, he discovered a dried-up flower core on the ground. It was the size of a peanut. The color was a light purple tinged with red. Just by looking at it, it bore a slight resemblance to the Red Spider Lily cores he had seen before.
Su Yan bent down and picked up the flower core from the ground. He brought it to his nose, and immediately, a subtle fragrance washed over him. It was pleasantly refreshing. But upon a closer sniff, he could also detect a hint of Mountain-Laurel. The scent was very faint, mixed with the fragrance of the chrysanthemums, and could easily be missed if one wasn't paying close attention.
The scent of Mountain-Laurel... The scent of An Shihua...
