Two guards who stood guard by the town's entrance approached them. They gave the woman a curt bow, then began asking her questions.
The woman rationally explained to the guards what was happening.
It turns out the woman was not so crazy after all.
The guards gave another bow before returning to their posts.
Now why were they in front of the town's entrance?
Cao Lei asked the baby, "Care to explain why you led us all the way here?"
[The map said something about the town's entrance.]
"Anything else, like what we need to do here?"
The baby shook her head.
They wasted energy running around the town.
The sound of the woman clearing her throat caught Cao Lei's attention.
"Maybe what matters is not what you must do here. But the purpose of the story's character."
"The the two brother's purpose?" Tian Mengshen asked.
I swear I was laughing all the way while writing this chapter. Maybe that's why it's all over the place, and I almost bonk my head on the table while editing the chapter ٩( ᐛ )( ᐖ )۶.
You guys will gradually figure out who our mysterious umbrella woman and curtained hat man in the future. Maybe around the arc where the nine have a training montage with their little kiddies.
Once you do, you'll probably laugh your ass off. I call this chapter investment for future.
Thank you for reading!
