"Why is it taking so long?"
Outside the cave, next to the old tree, the shopkeeper from Grass Heart Hall, who had come from the city, was slowly pacing with his hands behind his back.
Seeing that Hu Ma and Second Master had been gone for some time without returning, he vaguely guessed the reason. Considering common courtesy, he didn't rush over to urge them, but his dissatisfaction lingered. Looking up at the sky, he sighed, "It's getting dark again..."
"Whether collecting the remains or exchanging last words, it takes time, doesn't it?" a calm and patient voice spoke from within the nearby carriage after a long wait.
"Indeed, Miss is kind-hearted. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have even found his elder's remains," the old shopkeeper quickly chimed in with an apologetic smile.
His impatience had stemmed from worrying about delaying the important matters of the person in the carriage. Now that she wasn't in a hurry, only a fool would be anxious...
