651. Side Story Two

When Mou Chuan learned of Lin Wu's return, he was just concluding his seclusion.

But he did not go out into the outer world; instead, he left the Ridge Palace and found the old temple beneath the cliff.

The master still resided there, sweeping the not-so-large courtyard.

A heavy snow had fallen not long ago, piling up in the courtyard and making it inconvenient to walk.

The master was still blind, sweeping the snow at a leisurely pace.

Mou Chuan stopped at the entrance, silent.

After a long while, it was the master who broke the silence first. He joked, "If the Ridge Master has come, why not come in? I thought you would take pity on my blindness and volunteer to help me clean."

Only then did Mou Chuan speak, "You've merely lost your sight, not your ability to move. It's not yet time for the Ridge Master to assist you."

The master sighed, "Thirteen years without seeing each other, and the Ridge Master's words are still so affectionate."
