True Immortal's Fate
Li Xiaoya disguised himself, completely changing his appearance, before heading out.
Li Xiaoya had visited the shop run by the Heavenly Spirit Church once before. Although a century had passed since then, he still clearly remembered where it was.

"Hm?" Li Xiaoya stopped and turned to look at him.
"Hehe! Senior!
