Qin San Lang and Gu Jinli had a habit whenever they arrived at a new place: to observe the local terrain first. They were now in Le'an Street to the north of the Jiang Residence, and the two had already familiarized themselves with the area during their last visit.
When Qin San Lang followed Gu Jinli to an intersection, he took a swift turn into it, then slipped through a shortcut and circled around to the back of the little beggar, reversing the roles and began following the little beggar instead.
The little beggar knew some fighting skills, but was no match for Qin San Lang, completely unaware that he was now the one being tailed. He carefully followed Gu Jinli, eager to find out where they were heading.
Seeing that Qin San Lang was nowhere to be seen, Third Grandpa hurriedly asked, "Where has San Lang gone?"
Gu Jinli replied, "He's gone to buy some food for me."
She said this to prevent Third Grandpa from worrying and to avoid the trouble of having to explain further.
