Confession
The first person Jiushu found the day after inspection is MoQiu.
He himself is standing before a bag, looking at all the drop items he has gathered these days.
Jiushu pointed at the boots he kept in the corner.
"Take those. Good boots are a must on a long journey." she told him.
MoQiu selected those boots.
"I was going to tell you!" He said conversationally.
"It's alright. I was going to accompany you anyway!" Jiushu told him.
MoQiu nodded.
"We should probably tell mister Hua tuo and prepare him too." Jiushu told him, settling down on a stray chair.
"Indeed. A small party could move faster. I was going to ask William and Lili if they wish to accompany me. " Mo Qiu added.
William is needed, given he's the only one who could guide them through lands beyond.
