A Report to the Empress

After our long discussion with the warriors and the kidnapped nobles about our situation, we started devising the next part of our plan.

Now that we had Yushan Wu with us, the food supply of the nobles would be shortened. However, we wanted to stop it completely, so we had to come up with a plan to kidnap Wu's father.

We needed to go to the capital, which was much further away than Xiulan and Liren, meaning that we wouldn't be able to teleport to Yuandu straight from there. 

However, we had our magic quartz with us, which would allow us to return as long as we had it all prepared.

The following day, we woke up a bit late since Melina and I were regaining all the hours of sleep we lost during our time in Xiulan.
