Tu Shengyuan devoured the fruits in his hand in just a few bites, casually tossing the pits aside.
He wiped his fingers on a nearby tree trunk, excitement bubbling within him.
Heaven was truly merciful; the old fellow had gone to great lengths just to sneak over here lately!
Damn it, he even felt suspicious!
First, back in the Central Plains, there was the whole Xue family imperial queen incident.
Fine, he hid away by the East Sea and ran into a whale fisherman.
Then, in the Western Regions, he bumped into Li Zhaowen.
Alright, alright, I can’t afford to provoke either of those! But can’t I just hide away a little longer?
This time, the old man had crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, layer upon layer of peaks.
I’m hiding away in the mountain wilderness.
I bet this time there’s no way any trouble can fall onto my head.
Tu Shengyuan shook his sleeve proudly and said with a grin, “If there really was anything, this old man would just tear apart this judge’s wooden block and eat it right up!”
“But how could that possibly happen?”
“The emperor’s far away in the heavens, while I’m here in the wilds and rivers, how could anyone find me? Ha ha ha! Compared with the current peaceful world ruled under the heavens, it’s still this Jiānghú out here that suits me best!”
