"This year?" Upon hearing Gouwazi's words, Li Huowang's heart skipped a beat as an uneasy thought surged into his mind.
"What do you mean by that?" Li Huowang instantly used Shrinking Ground into Inches, appearing right in front of Gouwazi and lifting him into the air. "Has it been a long time?"
"Li... Brother Li, don't have an episode, please! It's... it hasn't been long at all. The Qingming Festival hasn't even passed yet."
Upon hearing Gouwazi's words, Li Huowang finally let out a long breath and put the grimacing boy down.
"Next time, speak more clearly," Li Huowang admonished with some displeasure.
"Yes, yes, of course." Gouwazi didn't dare argue with Li Huowang when he was in such a state.
"By the way, Brother Li, you don't have anything urgent to attend to now that you're back, do you? If you have a moment, could you help out with the village?"
"There are more and more people in this village. With you and Sister Bai both gone, Zhao Wu and I can barely manage."
