The Warmth That Awaits

"Thank you again, both Elders! But I must take my leave for today."

"Where are you going, Little Comrade? Should we accompany you?" As soon as Zheng-Fu said he had to leave, both middle-aged men immediately showed surprise and asked where he was going and whether they should accompany him.

"It’s fine! I can return on my own. Besides, I need to go back to my sister. We’ll meet again another day. If you wish to find me, you can visit me at the nameless mountain to the north of the Heavenly Command Sect. It’s about a thousand lis away from the capital." Zheng-Fu raised his hand to decline their kind offer to escort him. Before leaving, he shared the location of his residence in a voice only they could hear.
