Although there were 20 bowls of noodles, the group finished them in less than half an hour.
"Wow, I have never been this full before," said the young man as he patted his stomach, which was noticeably rounder.
"Will you be heading to the First City immediately?" he then asked.
Yuan nodded, "Yes, that's my intention."
The young man fell silent, almost as if pondering something.
Seeing his expression, Yuan asked, "What's on your mind?"
"Well… I was just wondering if I could follow you to the First City. After all, I won't be able to sell the gold coin you gave me in this city, and it's too dangerous to travel alone. Of course, I understand if you refuse."
Yuan smiled and said, "I don't mind. In fact, we can sell the gold coins together. After all, I am not familiar with the First City."
"I have never been to the First City, either, so I don't think I'll be of much help there. However, I'll still try my best."
"Sure."
