The sky finally brightened.
The dwarf Tikuz put away his Divine Skills Round Realm.
The sleeping old man woke up and was startled to see so many people around him.
Zhang San quickly explained to the old man, "Old man, these are some friends we met last night. We just got to know each other, but they're all very enthusiastic, and we plan to go somewhere else with them. Would you like to come with us?"
Zhang San didn't know what the old man's true identity was, but he always felt that the old man was somewhat unique.
The old man glanced at the people around, then chuckled and said, "Great! I'll join you. More people, more safety. By the way, young man, what's your name?"
"My name is Zhang San. How should I address you, old man?"
"Just call me Yuan."
And so, Yuan joined Zhang San, Xue Lihong, and a few others from Source of Longevity as they headed southeast.
Along the way, Zhang San started introducing a series of policies Great Sui had implemented to the people around him.
