The setting sun cast its last glow, bathing the ground in rosy light.
Ren Ye stood before the fortune-telling stall, staring at the note in his hand, excitement surging through him. He actually felt like a flirtatious old widow meeting an unattached bachelor.
The note read: "Little brother, reading this is as good as seeing me.
"It has been several months since we parted in Shanghai, and I have missed you dearly. Several times, I wanted to return and gather with our friends, but your younger sister Qingning is unruly by nature and gets into trouble the moment I let my guard down.
"You entrusted your sister to me, so I have kept her by my side and taught her carefully, never daring to neglect her.
"Only recently, when Qingning entered a Secret Realm and approached a breakthrough, did I find some spare time to attend to private matters.
"I never expected that, after following my 'new employer' into Loushan Pass, I would hear that you would also be passing through. I was so excited that I had someone leave this message.
"Many 'friends' are waiting for you together inside the pass. Once you read this, please be sure to stay where you are and wait for someone to meet you.
"Your big brother, Little War Wolf."
In the note, Li Yan mentioned many things from the "Real World," such as their last gathering in Shanghai and Qingning leaving home to "study."
These were things that people inside the Star Gate absolutely could not know, so naturally, there was no possibility of forgery.
Heaven hasn't abandoned me!
Li Yan is actually in Funan County too. And from what he said, he must have been hired by Great Qian or Guan Feng's people, and he's inside the pass right now.
*Damn,
