Chapter 38 (2/2)

(T/N: The grumpy old man is written as 糟老头 which translates to “rotten old man . ” decided not to leave it as rotten old man cuz i know he’s going to be some people’s favorite character later on . )

Jing Yunzhao was a bit hesitant . It was nighttime after all . The place indeed wasn’t far, but it was surrounded by alleyways . There weren’t many people pa.s.sing by .

However, after thinking more about it, Jing Yunzhao decided to go .

She had her s.p.a.ce and she had also practiced some martial arts moves . The chances of something terrible happening to her was quite small . There was no need to worry too much .

After leaving some Pilose Asiabell Roots as thanks, Jing Yunzhao left for the place old man told her .

The lanes had twists and turns . It was nighttime and unlike the big streets, the alleys weren’t brightly lit . She heard the sounds of nightingales from time to time . It was something that would bring chills down people’s spines . If this was in her past life, Jing Yunzhao naturally wouldn’t have to courage to be there . She realized that she now was much braver than she was in her past life . Being in that completely unfamiliar place, she didn’t have a single feeling of fear .

After 30-40 minutes, she finally found the place .

The area had a strange smell . There was the smell of medicine, but there were also other smells, like a burnt smell and corrosive smell . Smells were mixed together . It was strange .

In front of her was a big, s.p.a.cious house with an enclosed yard . The front doors were black and tall, making the place appear heavy yet calm . It gave off a very gloomy vibe . Jing Yunzhao kept noticing noises from the yard, so she chose to knock .

(T/N: I’m a.s.suming it’s not a modern house . It’s more of a traditional Chinese house with a yard in the middle of the property and not in front/back of the house . )

After ten seconds, the doors opened and a not-so-old face appeared .

The person was only in his thirties and looked quite spiritless . He gave Jing Yunzhao a few glances and said, “You have business here?”
