With the wine flowing and people merry, Wufu and Ah Jiu proposed to take their leave, and Master Gui escorted them out.
"The region of Miaojiang is mountainous and forested; do you need assistance?" Master Gui asked.
Wufu smiled and said, "Not at the moment. Fortunately, Yan Er knows the Holy Maiden of Miaojiang, and this time we're entering specifically for the matter of Gu Guiding."
Master Gui nodded, "Then I wish you a safe return!"
Ah Jiu clasped his hands in gratitude.
Master Gui watched them until they disappeared out of sight and then returned to the private room, where Jun Wenqi lay lazily on a soft cushion, his eyes bleary.
"Everyone's gone?"
"Yes." Master Gui poured himself a drink and gulped it down.
"Cousin, the lady has made her marriage alliance, you should withdraw." Jun Wenqi refilled his drink.
Master Gui, hearing this, looked at him, "What do you know, kid?"
