On the way back, Long Chen pushed forward at full speed, not daring to slow down for a moment. He couldn't wait to see Chu Lingjun awaken. By the time he reached the summit, night had already fallen.
WHOOSH!
Cai Qing, who was sitting outside, immediately became vigilant upon hearing the noise and asked sternly, "Who's there?"
"It's me," Long Chen said calmly, stepping out of the darkness and walking before her.
"Big Brother Long!" At the sight of Long Chen, a smile blossomed on Cai Qing's pretty face as she shot up from the stone bench. "You're back!"
"Yes," Long Chen nodded, then asked with concern, "How have you been settling in?"
"I've been doing just fine here," Cai Qing responded. Knowing what he was most anxious about, she cut right to the chase. "Sister Chu has been unconscious the entire time."
"Right, Big Brother Long, have you found the herbs?!"
"Yes." Long Chen nodded. "Where is Senior Feng right now?"
"He's inside the house."
