"Pavilion Master Shen has arrived."
Upon seeing the newcomer, Yi Ning's expression held a hint of resentment. They had an agreement: once Shen Changqing settled his affairs, he would accompany Yi Ning into the Ancient Ruins. But as things turned out, Yi Ning had been waiting all along. Nearly a year had passed before the other man finally appeared.
How many years does a person truly have in a lifetime?
"I was so caught up in various matters that I nearly forgot my promise to Pavilion Master Yi. My affairs are almost settled now. I wonder if Pavilion Master Yi is available?"
Shen Changqing's expression remained composed, showing no embarrassment for making the other party wait so long.
Truthfully, he had genuinely forgotten his agreement with Yi Ning. It was only now that he suddenly remembered. But it didn't matter. After all, the other man seemed to have plenty of free time; waiting a year or so wouldn't make much difference.
