The mountain path leading from the Misty Hall to the base of the Shixin Peak had an inconspicuous fork that winds northward. After crossing a few slopes and walking through a messy thorn bush forest, a clear, small stream appears directly in front of it.
Zhang Xiaohu stood behind the thorn bush forest, looking at the single-plank bridge over the stream with a complex expression.
This single-plank bridge is rudimentary, just a thick tree laid across a narrow stream. The stream was very shallow, easy to wade across, but behind the single-plank bridge stood two disciples dressed in Piaomiao Sect attire, standing straight as if this was the entrance to the Misty Villa, their expressions solemn!
However, their garments were worn and faded, far less pristine than when Zhang Xiaohu first arrived at the Misty Villa with Zhang Xiaohua years ago.
Zhang Xiaohu didn't go over in a hurry, but first observed for a while, and then looked around.
