Heading to the Yin Yang Temple from the direction of Mingjiu Mountain didn't necessarily require passing through Zhihong Guan; instead, the path led through the gully beneath it. Going to Zhihong Guan meant a detour and then retracing one's steps.
Last time, Zhou Li had not passed Zhihong Guan when he picked up Brother Nan, but this time he chose to visit.
The elder of the observatory was as kind as ever, his frame still sturdy. The old demon, however, seemed to have aged even more in the few days since Zhou Li had last seen him.
The elder of the observatory was very pleased to see Miss Zheng with another friend and was all smiles throughout their visit. He grew even happier after Brother Nan spent a good while chatting with him about the radishes and cauliflower in his garden, so much so that he wanted to invite the two young people to stay for dinner. Zhou Li politely declined.
