The long-lost sunlight made A-xing squint a little, but the scene that immediately came into view left him dumbfounded. This place was nowhere near where he'd been before, let alone anywhere like a seaside. What lay before his eyes was a barren wasteland, even worse than the place where Old Man Hua had lived. Faced with such a place, what could he say? It was better than being trapped in that pitch-black place with no daylight at all. Exhaling slightly, A-xing also realized that the Five Elders were afraid he would ruin their plans, which is why they threw him so far away.
"What a painstaking effort," he couldn't help but sigh. A-xing then took a step forward, casually choosing a direction and walking away. To him, any direction was pretty much the same now, since they all led to deserted places.
