A bird flew into the hall. Master Ho Chi caught it, carefully removed the small message tied to its leg, and released the bird to fly away.
Ho Chi:smilingYen Cheng: "Is something funny?"
Ho Chi: "Yes, let me read this for all of you." He pauses, shaking his head with amusement. "Ah, you don't know Wang Yoa. She's not as simple-minded as you think. Very clever—you might think she's just a little girl, but she's far from it. Today, she killed the green demon… and at first, she was so tired that it was almost easy to convince her. I even faked crying—my tears and all—but finally, she agreed. She's the dearest, the only family member we truly have. Be careful when dealing with my niece. It's your duty. You will meet Wang Yoa and Gu Quan at Middle Pearl."
Zong Yi: "I think the girl is really clever. We'll have to handle her carefully… but swiftly."
Master Ho Chi: "Do you want to meet Wang Yoa?"
Yen Cheng: "Do you want me to send a message east to Southern Pearl?"
Xiao Xia: "Please, Bro Cheng! We have to meet our new guest… please?"
