Chu Qing cupped his hands in salute, and with Niao Shisan, Wu Qianhuan, and Gentle, they left Heaven-Reaching Ridge.
This time, from beginning to end, Chu Qing had never seen Gu Ling'Er.
After leaving Heaven-Reaching Manor, Chu Qing took out the compass and checked it, using the location of Heaven-Reaching Manor given by Gongyang Chou to determine direction with greater ease.
Considering that Niao Shisan didn't know martial arts, Chu Qing carried him along the way.
As they traveled north, Chu Qing occasionally asked Niao Shisan a few questions.
The questions did not dwell on matters concerning Niao Shier or inquire where he had lived or what experiences he had had.
Instead, he asked if he had any skills, or if he could do certain tasks.
In response, it turned out Niao Shisan knew quite a lot.
Especially being literate, he wasn't just a lowly servant or slave.
Besides that, he was also proficient in various odd jobs.
