Nong Baicao had made up his mind to leave, and Tang Ye could not make him stay; they could only bid each other a reluctant farewell.
"Master, are you returning to Nüwa Mountain? Then, when I return to Yanjing, I'll bring You Rong to see you," Tang Ye said, looking at Nong Baicao who was preparing to depart.
Nong Baicao shook his head and said, "I won't be returning to Nüwa Mountain for now. Waiting there won't hasten the emergence of 'that thing.' I've been on Nüwa Mountain for decades; it's time for me to go out and wander."
"That thing?" Tang Ye was puzzled.
Nong Baicao smiled and said, "It's nothing, not something you need to worry about. Attend to your own matters first."
Tang Ye nodded and asked, "So where are you actually planning to go, Master?"
