"I'm not sure whether or not he's already here."

But Hao Xuan already knew he was, Nidhora had confirmed it. What he didn't know was whether or not to tell Jin Wang about it just yet.

"Why is he so important?" Hao Xuan inquired. Surely it had something more to it than it meets the eye.

But Jin Wang gave a goofy smile, patting him on the back.

"Don't worry about why, it's personal. All you have to do is see if he is there or not. He can't change his appearance so he will look exactly like the image you saw. It's pretty simple. Will...you do it?"

Hao Xuan saw that sincere look of urgency in Jin Wang's eyes and nodded back without even realizing it. This was the first real favor he had asked of him so of course Hao Xuan would do it.

"Thanks."

"Ey, what are friends for."
