Chapter 138: Homecoming 27

Under the introduction of Wang Huanjie, we first visited the village chief, who was sporting two large dark circles under his eyes, a face full of exhaustion. At first, I found it somewhat amusing—could it be that the village chief was a giant panda? But then I understood that this was due to his concern for the safety of the village. He was so worried that he could neither eat nor sleep peacefully.

Upon seeing that Wang Huanming had brought Master Li and me, the village chief's frown turned into a beaming smile. Those who knew who we were understood, while those who didn't thought some high-ranking official had come to inspect the village.

"Huanjie, go prepare a meal for the two masters to welcome them. And bring out the good wine I've been saving," the village chief instructed the equally dusty Wang Huanjie to get food ready for us, to welcome and refresh us. No matter what, the specifics could be discussed after we had eaten our fill.
