Chapter 100: Tasks with Attached Failure Penalties

```

Trudging along, a day's journey might cover twenty to thirty miles; there was no rush. After half a month or so, they finally could see a city in the distance, and at last, they were within the bounds of Wu City.

Entering the city, they inquired about the old man's daughter's whereabouts, and upon finding her home, they visited her.

Upon hearing the tragic news from Xiaotian Village, the daughter wept bitterly. Of course, she was endlessly grateful for Jiang Liu's kind act of bringing her father to her.

"Holy Monk, for your immense kindness, I will be forever indebted..." the old man also turned his head and earnestly said to Jiang Liu.

For the old man, Jiang Liu's action was nothing less than the grace of saving his life.

After all, without his escort along the way, an old man like himself, alone and without family, would have surely perished, whether he stayed in Xiaotian Village or set out on the road by himself.
