Business at the shop was getting better and better.
Wei An, his face all smiles, saw another regular customer out before returning to the counter.
"Hasn't Shopkeeper Bai come out of seclusion yet?"
Lanshan asked, his tone quite urgent.
Wei An had never seen him like this before. He replied,
"Before the Shopkeeper went into seclusion, he did instruct us not to disturb him unless it was absolutely necessary."
"It's been almost two months now. He's probably at a critical juncture."
Hearing this, Lanshan couldn't help but lower his gaze and sigh.
Qin Wen walked over.
"What are you doing so early in the morning, fellow Daoist?"
"You can't lose your composure over every little thing."
He looked Lanshan up and down, quite surprised.
The man had once been so robust, with muscles hard enough to kill someone. But now, the sharp lines of his physique had softened considerably.
He even looked somewhat rounded, as if bloated with water.
