"It's unfortunate, the elder Ma Liang left Jianye the day before yesterday. Upon his departure, he didn't mention when he would return, only saying that if fate should have it, we will meet again." Shen Luo said after a slight hesitation.
He knew very well that the Bai Family was trying to recruit Ma Mian, but after all, he was an Underworld Yin God and naturally would not agree.
"What a pity indeed..." Bai Hecheng said with some regret.
After chatting with him for a while, Shen Luo bid farewell and left.
That night, Shen Luo packed up, took the stone box, and left his courtyard in the forest to go to the secret chamber at the bottom of the lake.
As he closed the courtyard door, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He looked up at the sky and saw patches of white snow falling from the accumulating clouds. Unbeknownst to him, it had already reached the early winter season.
