"That’s all I can do for him. I’m afraid I can’t stay here for long. I’ll have to leave immediately. So, I’m leaving him to you girls," the Demon Witch stood-up and said.
"Yes…" the girl surnamed Qi complied with her respectfully.
However, Ke looked startled.
"The stronghold you people were assigned to no longer exist. It was wiped-off by the barbarians. So, there’s no need to go back. This map can help you understand the terrain of this area. There’s a stronghold at a distance of fifty miles from this mountain. Wait until he fully recovers. Then, you can report to that stronghold." The Demon Witch pondered for a moment. Then, she fished-out a jade slip from her bosom and passed it over to them.
The two girls nodded hastily.
