Dark clouds pressed upon the city from the heavens, the sky like a furnace, seemingly trying to cleanse the dust of Donglai County City.
"Crash hh hhhh——!"
The pouring rain washed over the city, making a crashing sound. The shops on the city streets closed early, and the ordinary people in the alleys hurried home, busy collecting clothes.
"Quickly, move faster."
"Up ahead, that old temple is right there, we can take shelter from the rain."
A few beggars hunched their backs as they ran through the rainy alleys, grass shoes splashing in the water, their clothes already completely soaked by the rain.
At the entrance of the old temple.
A man with ordinary features walked out holding a girl wearing a conical hat concealing her face, seemingly unconscious.
Several gazes fell upon the unconscious girl in unison, and the beggars exchanged looks, noticing mutual vigilance and concern. Despite their worried expressions, they instinctively surrounded the man coming out of the temple.
