Our hero was surprised that his two destinations were one and the same. He was not happy at this fact however, as after not doing anything but using his ability to separate wild onions from death camas and walking for 3 days, Fang Hu would rather satiate his thirst than negotiate with some rag-tag group of cultivators.

The young lad had to be only 16 or so, but was a whole two heads above our tallest. Not knowing what to make of the lad, I decided to take him to Chief Wo-Kong, this cultivator being much too strong to deny out of hand.

"Che- Wait here."

"Gladly."
