Hui Kun was found by one of Xu Lei's mortal subordinates.
Over the years, Xu Lei had naturally spent some money to establish a few businesses and employ some mortals.
He tasked them with searching for any trace of Hui Kun in various locations.
People in business have subordinates from all walks of life, who can reach deep into every alley and mountain village.
They were the best for finding someone.
As for the actual discovery...
It was a young mortal from a farming family, who worked for a merchant's guild in the city.
While on leave back in his home village, he went hunting in the mountains with his father, who was a hunter, just as he had in his childhood.
Suddenly, he saw Hui Kun washing his face by the river.
The young man recognized him; this was the person the Shopkeeper had told them to look for.
So he immediately sent a message to inform the Shopkeeper.
The Shopkeeper confirmed the information and notified Xu Lei.
「Half a month later.」
