Li Jin watched with his own eyes as Hu Lao Gen committed suicide.
The market on the west side of town was always lively, so of course he wouldn't miss out.
The older he got, the more he enjoyed the bustle. Because life was too peaceful, without any excitement.
He had always looked down on Hu Lao Gen, a bumpkin old man, even after Hu became the pavilion chief.
Li Jin was a proper scholar!
He knew what East King Valley was, understood roughly the location of the Ascending Dragon Realm. He also knew the significance of the City Lord's seal from Jia City.
Weren't these things more trustworthy than Hu Lao Gen's superficial understanding?
But Hu Lao Gen had jumped down in front of him.
So resolute, so swift… so desperate!
Although he always said he had reached an age of "knowing heaven's mandate" and claimed to understand everything and fear nothing,
he knew very well that there was nothing more important than life at his age.
