Noel looked around, amazed by the scenery. To think there was a place this beautiful inside the cave. However, the cloud in the sky seemed to be moving, making him realize that this place was connected to the outside.

"It appears you are confused. Well, it's better to follow me to my house first. We can talk slowly there." The old man pointed at the wooden house at the end of this space.

Noel thought for a moment before hastening his pace to catch up to the old man.

"I know that it's hard to pronounce my name. In fact, you pronounced it wrong earlier." The old man chuckled.

"I apologize." Noel immediately lowered his head.

"Just call me Old Ru. That's enough."

"That… I can't use such informal language to address you." Noel scratched the back of his head.

"If that's so? The exit is over there." Old Ru smirked while pointing at the cave where they had come out earlier.

"Old Ru." Noel immediately corrected himself.
