Everything in the country is peaceful now, so I thought to give myself a holiday. First, to observe the annual Medicine God Conference, and second, to reminisce with an old friend."
Despite the Great Elder's seemingly noble words, Lord Dong Huang wasn't so naïve as to believe that it was just that simple.
