Chapter 483

The bustling market was a scene of constant activity, filled with an endless stream of hawkers shouting their wares. Hu Yang searched frantically through the sea of people, repeatedly blocked by the dense crowds. The more anxious he grew, the harder it was to force his way forward. Spotting a brief opening at last, he lunged toward it and slipped away, escaping the surging masses. He had come to the market to find Qi Chaofan. Qi often frequented this section of the market, setting up a stall to sell various freshly harvested wild goods from the mountains. But today, Hu Yang had practically turned the entire area upside down without catching a glimpse of him. He could only assume that Qi had been delayed and would not be setting up his stall today.
