Two Formidable Beings, Whose Reputations Preceded them, Finally Met

"So, should I meet him or not?" Guo Zhenghe asked.

"Better not," Xu Xinyuan said. "Meeting him is dangerous."

"Well, the man has come all the way here, and I'd be doing him a disservice by not seeing him," Guo Zhenghe said with a smile. "How about I just meet him from afar?"

"What do you mean to say?"

"We'll talk about this later." Guo Zhenghe smiled and waved.

The day was sunny, and the sky was bright.

A visitor appeared in the northern village. The man looked to be in his 40s and had a golden complexion. He wore rather old clothes as he walked on the village road.

A ringing chime was heard from behind him as he moved to the side.

A man in his 20s riding a bicycle stopped near the man. He eyed him for a bit.

"You are not from here," the young man said.

"Indeed."

"Where are you from?"

"The south."

"What are you doing here?"

"Just looking around," the middle-aged replied with a smile.
