The three of them stood before the door for a while. Before long, someone entered the courtyard from the entrance.
"Is Pharmacist Qingyang here?" An emaciated white-haired elder stumbled into the courtyard. Black eye-bags were clearly visible on his face, making him look haggard and unkempt. He tripped and fell before the door, then slapped the door with all his strength.
"Elder Yu!?" Dong Qi was alarmed. "How did you become like this?"
The old man seemed to notice Dong Qi only now. He craned his neck to look at Lu Sheng and Xu Chui, who were standing beside her.
"Oh, it’s niece Dong. Long time no see… this old man has some matters to discuss with the pharmacist. Have you seen Pharmacist Qingyang?"
"No… we haven’t. We just got here too…" Dong Qi replied softly.
Disappointed, the old man sighed, then turned to leave without even bothering to ask who Lu Sheng was.
