The young man was Tong Yan of the Center Sect.
Xiao He had been with the Old Ones for many years, so she knew the looks of this talented disciple of the Center Sect. She felt surprised, wondering why he came to the Fruit Formation Temple. Then, she noticed that the shoes on Tong Yan's feet were in tatters, and moreover, that his fingers had the stains of black mud. His appearance was totally different from the impression the people had of the immortal masters of the Center Sect.
Xiao He didn't have enough time to dwell on the thought; she approached Tong Yan and attempted to talk to him.
Tong Yan halted his steps and glanced at her. When he saw her on the mountain path earlier, he thought she was a little vixen coming to the Fruit Formation Temple to burn incense and pray to the Buddha; so he didn't expect her to be the rumored Xiao He of Ying City who had swindled Liu Shisui.
