"Yuncong, it's you. Have your injuries healed?" Huang Xiao asked when he saw that the newcomer was Li Yuncong.
"They healed long ago. Martial Uncle, did you run into some trouble? Why did it take you so long to get here?" Li Yuncong asked. Huang Xiao had not come all this time, and he had been quite worried that something had happened to him.
