Compared to last night's storm of wind and snow, today was clear and refreshing. Wufu and her companions hurried on their way, managing to enter the city gates of Chengdu Prefecture before dusk.
At the city gate, Shopkeeper Lin had already been eagerly waiting. If Liu Jin hadn't been sharp-eyed and noticed them, coming forward to inform him, he would have likely missed the carriage that carried Wufu and her group altogether.
"Miss, you've certainly made me wait," Shopkeeper Lin said with his thick felt hat, addressing Wufu while glancing at Ah Jiu from the corner of his eye.
He didn't know who this gentleman was, but his demeanor didn't seem any less distinguished than the young masters from the Wen Family.
"We were delayed last night by the heavy snowstorm. I hope I didn't cause you too much concern, Shopkeeper Lin, and thank you for waiting here in person," Wufu said, bending her knee in a courteous bow.
