Within a few days, Wu Guan and the others were completely swayed by Sun Bai and Sun Qianxin, readily following their orders.

During their journey, as they passed through bustling towns, the group visited brokers to scout for potential talents. Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan had limited personnel at their disposal, and Songshi's experience, along with Qing Yan's versatility, were insufficient.

By the halfway point of their trip, they had essentially acquired everything they needed. Four new girls named Caihua, Caiyue, Caiming, and Caiyun, aged between 12 and 14, joined the group. Lichun and Lixia took charge of looking after them. Upon reaching their destination, Liqiu and Lixia would serve as Qiao Xuan's attendants, managing internal and external affairs, while the four girls handled miscellaneous tasks.
