"How are your studies at Kong’s Shop going?"
The young man stopped a short distance in front of Chen Miao and asked.
Looking at the smiling young man before him, Chen Miao quickly considered his current situation.
Without a doubt, this was someone the owner of Chen Miao's current body had known before entering the Paper Effigy Shop.
Chen Miao did not yet know whether he was an enemy, but he certainly was not a friend.
There was neither goodwill nor malice coming from him.
If he had been an ordinary person, Chen Miao might have exchanged a few words and left. But he was a Yin Cultivator, and one who had already achieved entering yin! Chen Miao could not simply brush him off.
After some thought, Chen Miao decided that his status as a Second-Grade Apprentice at the Paper Effigy Shop should spare him some trouble.
"Second-grade."
"Not bad. Looks like we both made the right choice back then."
The young man smiled. "Though I might have been a little luckier than you. The one at Yizhuang has already started teaching me yin cultivation." Chen Miao's thoughts raced as he analyzed the information hidden in those words.
The choice we made back then?
Yizhuang?
Soon, Chen Miao arrived at a possible explanation.
This man had known the original owner of his body. Perhaps they had been friends who agreed to join the Paper Effigy Shop and Yizhuang respectively, and both had succeeded. But if they were friends, why was there no goodwill coming from him?
Had their friendship faded after a long time apart?
While Chen Miao was thinking, the young man spoke again.
"Heh, I know a little about how things work at Kong’s Shop. Getting out isn't easy."
"Go see your younger brother. I brought him here."
