The next day, Zhu Xingzhi, feigning weakness, followed Shen Qi down the mountain. The bustling town was a sight he had never seen before.
Merchants enthusiastically calling out, hurried pedestrians passing by, children laughing and playing while being led by adults, elegant scholars and veiled girls...
The liveliness of the town was unlike anything he had experienced. Abyss was also bustling, but with bloodshed accompanying the noise. Here, the bustle was ordinary, peaceful, and serene. He liked this place. Zhu Xingzhi thought to himself, his eyes shimmering slightly.
Shen Qi reached out and took his wrist. "Let me take you to see the doctor first."
Doctor? Thinking about the medicine that had turned bitter, Zhu Xingzhi instinctively refused.
"No, let me take you to find a matchmaker first."
