Doctor Su hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "No, I promised your mother that once I had news of you, I wouldn't hide it from her. These days, there's been something going on in Le'an, which is why she hasn't traveled outside the pass. Once she's done with what's on her hands, she's bound to leave."
Doctor Su paused, then continued, "You tell me, should she search for you aimlessly, or with purpose?"
Aimlessly, who knows what kind of trouble she might encounter?
Zhao Xiaoshu sighed, "Alright then, Doctor Su, tell me where my mother is staying so that, when I enter the city, I can go see her."
"Not tricking me?" Doctor Su hesitated.
Zhao Xiaoshu replied confidently, "Naturally not."
Doctor Su made a reasonable point, if his mother journeyed beyond the pass directly, it would be fine if she found him, but what if there was trouble and she couldn't?
"Alright, I trust you then." said Doctor Su.
