I’m almost reluctant to leave."
The surrounding Wu Clan warriors erupted in laughter, the sound echoing through the night. The wrinkled old man stood up as well, his eyes filled with a trace of reluctance. "Young man, are you really leaving already?"
Su Yu nodded, a grateful smile on his face. "Old sir, I came specifically for Mount Buzhou. Now that I’m so close, I simply can't resist the urge to go and see it for myself."
