After I waved them off in a cab, it left me alone near the scenic area I loweredstone in hed
…If I really gave up like this, it would ht? I should at least talk to some more people
Just as I prepared to turn around and go back to theme from behind
”You, are you by any chance the boy from Mr Wen's shop the other day?”
I turned around and discovered a white-haired old lady looking at me I couldn't help but be surprised, wasn't this was the same old lady who entrusted us to find the mountain God?
”It is you, ah—”
The old lady s ”My surname is Li, you can just call me Grandma Li”
”Of course, Grandrinned at her
Grandma Li looked around and i to do ”You're… Trying to help ht?”
I nodded ”Mt Xiao Yao here you said you once ht as well start soher likelihood of success…”
I didn't even get a chance to finish rabbed both of mine
”Thank you, boy” Grandrew a touchto come so far to help me find that person But, I've already searched here ht to ask passersby Unfortunately… no one had any idea”
I couldn't help the crestfallen expression that crept across my face ”How can that be…”

I paused ”No, I have nothing pressing”
”Then, how about you accohter? How about it, did you want to jointo and fro by ets a bit lonely”
