Although Greedy Wolf Star Lord knew that, carrying letters from several old fellows of Clear Subtle Heaven this time, there was an eighty or ninety percent chance he would be able to meet that mysterious Senior Qin.
Still, so many years had passed. No one knew what had become of the other party, or what he was like now... Upon hearing the other party's words, a relieved smile finally appeared on his face.
"Thank you."
He hurriedly cupped his hands toward the man, then led Jiang Yuechu and Purple Plume as they slowly descended toward Crouching Ox Ridge below.
Passing through a seemingly thin layer of clouds and mist, their feet touched the ground. Nothing unexpected met their eyes—still that bare stretch of desolate mountains and wilderness.
And as they drew closer, it appeared even more ruined and bleak.
Withered yellow weeds grew wildly everywhere. Several old trees swayed in the wind, and there was not even a proper stone stairway in the mountains. The group could only follow the muddy trail trampled out by wild beasts and make their way upward.
As the man in blue robes led the way, an apologetic expression appeared on his face. He turned back toward the others. "Please forgive us, everyone. Crouching Ox Ridge truly is rather crude... In recent years, Master's health has worsened by the day. Sometimes, he is not even fully lucid. He often forgets people and events, and his moods are unpredictable. Therefore, to avoid provoking him, we disciples have tended this place even less, allowing it to fall into desolation, lest it stir up his aversion."
At this point, the man in blue paused.
"When you meet Master shortly, I ask that you please bear with him and do not take offense."
Hearing this.
