A child was riding a cow, driving his dog towards the outskirts of the village; some young women and new brides were washing clothes by the river, and everyone's expression seemed so normal—utterly different from how things were last time in Pi County.
Just judging by appearances, this village was nothing out of the ordinary.
Yet, the more normal they acted, the more abnormal this place seemed in Li Huowang's eyes.
Li Huowang took out that envelope once again and examined it carefully; it did mention signs of Sitting Oblivion Path activity here, but didn't say exactly what those signs were.
Recalling his previous experience in Pi County, Li Huowang turned to the others and said, "Since Sitting Oblivion Path might be inside, I'll sneak in first and scout the place. We don't want to scare the snakes out of the grass."
"Senior Li, are you sure you'll be okay by yourself?"
