The day felt long and dragging, monotone even. But Zhang Wang knew that he would return soon, eager to meet with Kai Kulan who he was eager to meet again.

"You can head back first," Sikong Ren's eyes were still fixed to the ground, whatever he might have hoped to spot was nowhere in sight.

"I'm willing to take the chance."
