Nine Rings C08
by MarineTL — Chapter 8: Granny Yin I thought Tian Yuqing would arrange for me to ride in the same car as him, but to my surprise, he put me in the second car while he got into the first one. Squinting, I peered into the first car and saw an elderly man with a grizzled beard sitting in the backseat. I found it odd that there was such an elderly person in the group.
