In the following days, Wufu would rush to town every day after breakfast. The June sun was growing more and more intense, and by mid-month, she had gotten even darker, yet her eyes shone brighter.
Wufu left a message at Wenshan Bookstore with the token Ah Jiu had given her.
The message was passed up through the ranks until it finally reached Ah Jiu's hands.
"Looking for someone?" he asked, eyeing the name on the message.
Yuan Ye nodded and replied, "It's said that her mother would always inquire at the bookstore for any letters for her whenever she was in town. Based on this name, I surmise it must be the girl's father."
The origins of mother and daughter Wufu were clearly investigated by Yuan Ye without Ah Jiu's orders as soon as he had received the task from his master.
