Zhuge Yuan himself didn't mind what happened, but he couldn't let Li Jinshu be punished for helping him, especially since he was the one who sought assistance. Li Jinshu had helped him for nothing in return; if he were to be punished for this, Zhuge Yuan would feel terribly indebted.
"That is not ordinary experience. Common folk would not possess such knowledge." The old man clasped his hands behind his back and circled Zhuge Yuan. "Speak. Who are you, and where do you come from?"
