Yang Jishan once again sized Mo Hua up from head to toe—he already looked like a graceful youth now—and sighed with a smile:
"You've grown up."
Then he felt a bit puzzled. "How did you end up in Great Desert City?"
Mo Hua replied, "I was traveling south, and just happened to run into war and chaos, so I could only come to this Great Desert City to take shelter for now."
Hearing this, Yang Jishan felt some sympathy, and some emotion.
Once war breaks out in the Great Wilderness, calamities are bound to follow. Li State, closest to the Great Wilderness, will bear the brunt and surely suffer the ravages of war.
In such turmoil, for a youth like him to escape alive and make it to Great Desert City is no simple feat.
"You're alone?" Yang Jishan asked gently.
"Mm."
"Do you have a place to stay?"
Mo Hua shook his head. "No."
