"Indeed, last night we encountered a sandstorm, so I got separated from the team. By any chance, have you come across a young woman along your way?" Ye Wutian asked the four people.
The young man shook his head and then warned, "Every night, a sandstorm blows up in this desert, which is quite dangerous for mortals like you."
"Thank you for the warning. May I ask which direction I should head to leave this desert as quickly as possible?" Ye Wutian inquired further.
"You are right in the center of the desert; any direction is the same," the middle-aged man said.
Ye Wutian was somewhat embarrassed.
The young man continued, "It's going to be dark soon. If you continue walking, it will be very dangerous."
"What should I do then?" Ye Wutian posed, looking anxious.
"Brother Dong, why don't we let him come with us?" the young man asked the middle-aged man for his opinion.
