Chapter 468: Because There's a Dragon in the Mountain

When Old Peng spoke of the strange incident, his pauses were a bit long.

It seemed he was recalling the entire incident meticulously to avoid any errors.

Tang Zelin and Su Shu didn't rush him; everyone quietly waited without disturbing Old Peng's recollection.

After a long while, Old Peng sighed and raised his eyes.

"The story I'm about to tell might sound overly fantastical, might not be true, or it could be that over the years, the true details have changed, leaving only a rough framework of the story. If you feel it doesn't sound true, then just take it as a legend," he said.

"Old Peng, please go ahead, it's alright," they said.

Old Peng took a sip of water, moistened his throat, cleared his throat twice, and started speaking.

The youth led the General, the Imperial Physician, the Taoist, and others, wandering in the mountains for two or three days. Because they couldn't find the life-saving item he spoke of, he endured quite a few beatings.
