Zhao Sheng reached out to open the book and praised continuously as he read the stories within.
Old Shopkeeper Chen watched with a smile, saying nothing.
Moments later, Zhao Sheng closed the book, itching with curiosity, and asked, "May I ask Mr. Chen, who authored this book?"
Old Shopkeeper Chen's expression darkened, and he sighed, "This 'Rebirth Record' was written by my old friend Li Zhi. Unfortunately, heaven was unkind, and he passed away three years ago. Before his death, my old friend entrusted this book and several cherished items to me."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng expressed slight disappointment, "Truly, heaven envies the talented! May I know where Mr. Li is buried? I wish to pay my respects at his grave."
Old Shopkeeper Chen felt very surprised, but he didn't think much of it and told him the location of the grave.
Seeing he had achieved his aim, Zhao Sheng did not stay long and, after chatting for a while more, took the opportunity to bid farewell.
