In such bitterly cold weather, with heavy snow falling besides, whose child was running around here alone? Weren't his family worried?
Zuo Wuji looked around. Compared to the rest of the prefectural city, this was a rather remote area. In weather this cold, few households had their doors open. The place looked somewhat empty. What if something happened to a child running around alone?
With that thought in mind, Zuo Wuji instinctively gave chase. He had not expected the child to run so fast. Zuo Wuji had to employ some movement technique just to catch up with him. But as a stranger, with such an unusual accent, he could not simply stop the child right away. Instead, he followed from afar, intending to see what had the child in such a hurry. If the child was rushing home and made it there safely, then naturally there would be no problem.
Li Feng sprinted all the way when he suddenly felt something strange. He stopped and looked back, but all he saw was an empty old street stretching toward an end buried beneath wind and snow. There was not a second person in sight.
"Who's there?"
Li Feng was still just a child, and fear rose in his heart. He called out toward the street. When no one answered, he patted his chest, then ran onward even faster.
The child was quite sharp. A little farther behind him, Zuo Wuji stepped out from beside the side wall of a house and continued following the child disappearing into the distance. Though the gap between them appeared to have widened, Zuo Wuji, who had already broken through the Martial Dao Restraint, was confident that no matter what happened, he could reach the child in an instant and appear before him.
