"Yes! His name is Xue Zhong," the small yellow paper figure exclaimed for a moment, but it seemed to realize something, and its emotions immediately dropped. "Do you know him? Is he...?"
He Xin sighed to himself, already prepared for the worst.
The other was a Daoist from Lingyun Mountain, likely following a lead about someone's death, which led them to investigate Wu Lin. Combined with the information provided by the ever-burning lantern at their home, this person was very likely Xue Zhong.
"But before we continue, could you tell me how you found your way here? As far as I know, you haven't been in contact with him for over a decade," the small paper person's gaze even showed a moment of sharpness.
Ji Jing wasn't too pleased with people who hadn't been in touch for over a decade and suddenly showed up claiming to be family. Since He Xin's family had the ability to locate Wu Lin's place directly, why hadn't they shown any concern for Xue Zhong during his years of hardship?
