After Yang Guangfu led the two of them into the gorge, he gave a slight bow to the middle-aged man by the pond but said nothing, heading directly for another thatched hut.
Seeing this, Zhang Deming and Li Shifan also bowed slightly before following him.
But just as Li Shifan was about to step into the hut, the middle-aged man who was fishing frowned slightly.
The moment the middle-aged man frowned, Li Shifan froze. A miniature scroll suddenly materialized from his left hand.
The scroll vibrated a few times, but no figure emerged from it. The middle-aged man looked surprised. He glanced at the two of them before looking away again.
As he looked away, the scroll disappeared from Li Shifan's palm.
Yang Guangfu was slightly taken aback by this but said nothing. He simply continued forward and stepped into the hut.
Li Shifan and Zhang Deming exchanged a glance. Without a word, they followed Yang Guangfu into the hut.
