The crowd outside the drum tower gradually dispersed. Zhang Lao'er had people search for quite a while but couldn't find Li Huai. Could that kid have gone back first?
Just as Zhang Lao'er was about to lead the villagers back, Li Huai appeared before him like a ghost, scaring him nearly to a heart attack.
"Where the hell did you run off to?" Zhang Lao'er saw Li Huai yawning and rubbing his sleepy eyes, fearful of being seen by others, he quietly asked, "Tell me the truth, Li Huai, did you just go off to sleep somewhere?"
"Zhang Lao'er, don't you wrongly accuse me. if the West Sea Dragon God hears you, how could I ever ascend to become an immortal?" Li Huai angrily finished speaking, then hurriedly brought his palms together, facing west, muttering to himself, "West Sea Dragon God, Zhang Lao'er is talking nonsense, please don't believe him, I have just been more devout in my worship than anyone."
