Li Xiao stood on the bluestone street of the ancient city, the sun shining through the gaps between the old trees, dappled on his face. He was wearing a simple white T-shirt and carrying a travel bag, his eyes flashing with anticipation and excitement for an unknown journey. Huang Pengfei stood aside, holding a map in his hand, frowning, as if studying something.

"Brother Xiao, where are we going next?" Huang Pengfei raised his head with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Li Xiao smiled and pointed to an ancient city gate in front of him. "Let's go there first. I heard that it is the landmark building of the ancient city. Let's go in and take a look."
