932 Leaving the mountain (1)

~ Close to the border of China with Kazakhstan ~

Tuesday morning…

After breakfast, Sarah, Aiden and Jesse were saying their goodbyes.

"We appreciate your hospitality and teachings.", Sarah said with a deep bow while extending a folder toward Master Hollow. 

Initial plan was to exchange that information for his teachings, but the old man shared his wisdom without it. Sarah and Aiden don't need that information, and they decided to give it to the old man as a farewell gift.

"This is…?", he observed the folder without opening it.

"We heard that this is something that might interest you. I hope that we are not overstepping our boundaries."

The old man reluctantly opened the folder and his eyes widened when he saw the photos.
