Chapter 492: Visiting the Museum
The old man got up, a satisfied smile on his face. "Accompany me for a walk. We can chat as we go."
"Sounds good!" Gu Fan increasingly suspected this old man’s sudden visit had a purpose, perhaps he was here to relay some crucial information.
However, a strange unease gripped Gu Fan as he prepared to step outside with the old man. His heart pounded with anxiety. To Gu Fan, it felt as though he were standing in the presence of a harbinger of doom.
"What’s wrong, why have you halted?" The old man seemed confused, while Gu Fan swallowed nervously, "Does your appearance foretell impending catastrophe, have you come to warn me to be prepared?"
After hearing this, the old man paused for an instant, then shook his head and smiled ruefully, "Is it that whenever I appear, you believe disaster will strike?"
"Not exactly, but something like that..." Gu Fan scratched his head with an embarrassed smile.
The old man didn’t object: "Alright, if something was truly to happen, would you hope for a warning, or..."
"Of course I’d want some warning. Something is always better than nothing." After saying so, Gu Fan decided to follow the old man, to see what might unveil itself.
As they walked, the old man explained, "You might be curious about how I left the Borderlands back then. When the people from the ancient town ventured into Qianye Country, I didn’t join but went back to the old town. After all, I’m old and my body couldn’t endure such an adventure."
