Legend of the Great Sage Chapter 417 - Circumstances Come and Go with Time

Li Qingshan let out a deep breath like a steam whistle. Fierce gales of wind were kicked up in the large dwelling. He opened his eyes, and they flashed like two stars. The light gradually receded, becoming deep and dark like a pond.

“Xiao An, how long has it been?”

“Around three years.”

“Three years. It has been so long.”

Li Qingshan was rather surprised; to him, it did not feel long at all, brief as a matter of fact.

Three years were enough for the plants to wither and bloom three times, enough for children to become youths. But to him, it had been as brief as a flick of a finger.
