True Solution of the Sword Dao

Chapter 23: Chapter 19: Turning Point Chapter 23: Chapter 19: Turning Point Just a few steps along the lawn, Lin Fei saw a middle-aged woman running toward him in a flustered manner, dressed flamboyantly and looking anxious, as though she had an urgent matter.

Lin Fei frowned slightly and quickly stepped aside as he saw the woman running directly towards him. The woman did not notice and just kept rushing forward.

Looking in the direction from which the woman had come, Lin Fei did not notice any sign.

Although he did not know what had prompted the woman’s urgency, he did not wish to meddle in other people’s affairs. Lately, there had been enough instances of good intentions being met with unjust accusations.

The woman kept charging forward and accidentally bumped into an old man wearing a black overcoat; however, since it was just a slight bump, neither of them said anything.

Lin Fei withdrew his gaze from the woman, holding his water bottle and continued walking toward the exit of the park and toward the nearby bus stop; he had not gone far.

Suddenly, the old man behind him exclaimed, “Where’s my wallet?” It turned out that he usually kept it in his pants pocket. Now that he had put on an overcoat and adjusted his clothes, he felt as if he had lost something.

The girl beside him immediately tried to comfort him, “Grandpa, maybe you put it in another pocket?”

“It’s not possible! I always keep it in my pants pocket.” The old man fumbled through his pockets to no avail.

Having walked some distance, Lin Fei faintly heard the two discussing something. By then, he had reached the bus stop and placed his water bottle on the concrete bench, turning his head to look back. However, due to the distance, he could not tell what was happening.

The girl, seeing the old man looking anxious, suddenly seemed to have an idea. She lifted her face and looked intently toward Lin Fei.
