An abandoned ruin blooming with Nine Heavens Cold Palace Flower.
Welcomes today's second figure.
A man hugging a sword, dressed in green, casually comes here.
At the entrance of the ruins, he doesn't enter immediately but rather twirls a Nine Heavens Cold Palace Flower with his fingers, and with interest, turns to look at the slender departing back of the "interesting Li girl" who led him here.
The man hugging the sword, mimicking some brat, mumbles "Where in life do two meet again," then tightens the sword in his arms, laughs freely, and turns to enter the ruins.
Dressed in a vivid green outfit, he weaves through ancient, cold, and desolate ruins, stopping occasionally to change his route, avoiding intriguing yet strange forbidden places.
Soon, he reaches near the center of the ruins.
By the bank of a hot spring pool.
