Inside the old house.
The lighting in the house was dim, with a brick bed at the center, from which hung a dark medicine pot. The scent of medicinal herbs filled the entire room.
An elder with sallow skin sat on a wooden stool, occasionally poking the stove fire with a stick. Upon seeing Dugu Jinhong and Dugu Mao enter, he didn't even lift his eyelids,
"Elder Fang!"
Dugu Jinhong, despite his age, showed the respect of a schoolboy in front of the elder, lacking even the courage to sit without being prompted.
The elder lifted his head and glanced at the two.
His face was deeply lined, like chiseled stone, making him appear extremely old!
However, his eyes were exceptionally clear and sharp, with a depth that belied his age!
"Sit!"
"Yes!" Dugu Jinhong and Dugu Mao obediently sat opposite the elder.
"Elder Fang, it's been many years since we last met. You remain as healthy as ever. I hope you're well!" Dugu Jinhong said with a smirk.
The elder remained expressionless.
