You meet Ye Minghe from Hongshan who claims that he is visiting to help with your treatment.

Anyway, time to start hiking.

The brush alone suffices.

Good thing is, you've been quite cooperative so far.

I'll need you to follow my words closely, okay?

My plan was to let you stay in the inn for a bit. But since Ye Minghe has led you here, we don't need to head back anymore.

My apologies. I should have introduced myself sooner... I am Ye Minghe of HAS.

I believe I know you better than most. My presence here was requested by several Tianshi to assist in your treatment.

Then why did Si chase you out of the inn?

Haha. You actually caught me at an awkward moment.

Lady Si likes her peace. She doesn't like being disturbed by envoys. She was just enjoying her reunion with you, and my visit probably got in the way.

I went around looking for you, only to find you here gossiping about me?

The Endministrator's safety is critical to the entirety of the Civilization Band. Hongshan naturally wants an agent on-site.

Hur. I've got young little Zhuang to vouch for me. Is that not good enough for you?

Not quite.

You little...

But since you're ready to take the Endministrator up the mountain, I won't delay you any further.

But should the need arise, I will interfere. Do pardon my intrusions, milady.

Endministrator, it may not be completely pleasant. Allow me to apologize to you as well.

This is the first time I've seen you so frustrated with someone.

The guy's quite the diplomat. Worse, he has the fighting skills to back it up... Such people usually mean trouble, so I just ignore them.

We're not heading back to the inn? Shouldn't we get some hiking gear?

But "Dijiang" is a long climb ahead. To get to your treatment, we may have to endure quite a journey.
