After pushing aside the last thorns, she could see a hut on the cliff in the distance. The joy of reunion spread throughout her body, making her forget the fatigue and hardships on the road. It seemed that he was standing in front of her like that, with a faint smile on his face, as if he had met him for the first time.
Memories emerged in her mind as she walked, and she remembered their first encounter.
That was Rugui Inn in Qingshi. She had just received a promise from her master that she could travel. An occultist who was familiar with star healing was a travel companion that most people in Kyushu would not refuse, so even though it was her first trip, she came to this city with a team of experienced adventurers.
Her journey would have remained uneventful until she met him.
He stood at the door of the inn carelessly, blocking the team leader. The most ill-tempered soldier in the team threw him away, and he staggered aside with a slight smile on his lips. Looking up and meeting her worried gaze, he winked playfully and shook his hand covertly at his waist. She stared at it for a long time before she saw clearly that the other person was holding a soldier's money bag. She couldn't help but smile, and then she saw him stunned for a moment, with his hand just frozen there. Their movement attracted the attention of the others, and before the warrior's angry fist fell on him, he smashed the money bag into his nose and fled, leaving the room filled with laughter.
