Standing outside Fish Village and looking at the village ahead, Yu Yan had been gone for less than half a year, yet it felt as though he had been away for a very long time.
Perhaps a lot had happened during this time?
The length of one's life lay in the number of things one experienced.
A single unforgettable month left a deeper impression than a dull, uneventful year.
Xiao Wu did not feel much about it. This was not her home, so she did not share Yu Yan's sentiment.
After standing outside the village for a while, the two entered Fish Village together and headed toward home. Having been away for some time, Yu Yan wanted to tidy up the house and spend the night there.
"Xiao Yan?"
As Yu Yan headed toward his home, he heard a familiar voice call from behind him. It was Old Man Yu, the village chief.
"Hello, Grandpa Fish!"
Yu Yan turned and saw Old Man Yu standing there in cotton-padded clothes, smiling warmly. Yu Yan returned the smile and greeted him.
After Yu Yan greeted him, Xiao Wu also spoke up to greet Old Man Yu.
"Why have you two come back? Is Balak Junior Soul Master Academy on break?"
Hearing the familiar way Yu Yan and Xiao Wu addressed him, Old Man Yu slowly walked over.
"School has not let out yet. Xiao Wu and I took leave to handle some matters, and we just returned. Since we were passing by the village, we wanted to come back and take a look," Yu Yan explained truthfully why he was here.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Old Man Yu asked what he cared about most. "I heard from my son that Yu Yan and Xiao Wu, you two have become Soul Masters?"
