When Chen Zhixing arrived at the main peak.
The main hall was empty, with only Chen Daoyan sitting alone on the cold stone seat, gently massaging his temples, looking somewhat weary.
For most of the time, Chen Daoyan sat alone on the cold stone seat, in silence, staring at the entirety of Ziwei Mountain.
"Grandfather."
Chen Zhixing walked slowly closer, calling out softly.
"You're back."
Chen Daoyan opened his eyes and looked at Chen Zhixing, then squeezed out a comforting smile on his face, nodding as he said:
"This time... you did well. That's how you deal with a traitor."
Evidently.
He had already learned of Chen Zhixing's actions regarding the mine.
"Just now, the one guarding the mountain gate said you had something important to discuss with me. What is it?" Chen Zhixing sat next to Chen Daoyan and asked with a smile.
"Mm, take a look at this."
