Ling Manor was even more magnificent than I had imagined. Towering stone walls meandered along the contours of the mountain, and groups of buildings with black tiles and white walls were scattered gracefully along the edge of the cliff. A huge plaque hung above the main entrance, inscribed with three bold, gold-plated characters for "Ling Manor" that displayed vigorous brushwork.
"How imposing," I couldn't help praising.
Ling Xiang rode her horse over to my side, her complexion already much better. "Ling Manor has stood for over a century, built by our ancestors to fend off outside enemies."
