Opposite the forest was a long wide road leading to small villages near the capital.
On the wide road were farmers and traders coming back from the capital. Their faces etched with smiles and exhaustion mixed, dust.
This was the life of an ordinary farmer. Although farming was tiring, they loved their simple life.
Among the farmers returning to their homes was a sturdy middle-aged man dressed in a plain ordinary robe.
Compared to the tired farmers, he was brimming with strong vitality. Many of the farmers gave him a cursory look but no one spoke.
"You rat really know how to hide!" a cold voice echoed in the air.
Instantly, all the farmers on the wide road widened their eyes. Their eyes wandered around as they tried to find the source of the voice.
In the sky, a beautiful woman dressed in a long purple Daoist robe appeared.
Seeing the woman, the sturdy middle-aged man was stunned. His jaw was slightly agape.
'How did she find me?!' he exclaimed in his mind.
