Hong Luoyu felt as if he were in a dream.
All his past played back in his mind, from leaving home at a young age, apprenticing to learn martial arts, and wandering through Jianghu. It was like a bustling dream world, vividly appearing in his mind before scattering away. Then, it was as if he was hazily falling from the clouds, dropping back into the mortal world.
The sensation of his body slowly re-emerged in his mind.
A tickling sensation at the tip of his nose made it impossible for him to "sleep on," and, rather annoyed, he opened his eyes, only to see a face he wished never to see again. His scalp tingled, and he instantly became as alert as he could be, reflexively shrinking his neck backwards and saying,
"I, you, I, I, I..."
Standing before him, a scholar in a blue robe squatted emotionlessly, twiddling a foxtail grass at his nose. Seeing Hong Luoyu open his eyes, the scholar only glanced at him indifferently, still expressionless, provocatively waving the piece of grass.
