Completely unaware that he is being monitored and following the plan of the others, he proceeds more or less smoothly in his search for his mother. The broom allows him to travel much faster and more safely than he would have ever hoped to do on the ground, but still, he needs some breaks to rest and he doss that on high trre branches.

It takes him two nights and two days, before Elton is reported by his familiar on the broom that the boy spot his destination ahead.
As they have been very attentive and ready, the moms f JinJin starts to land, the other group is ready to reach the place, but they have to wait for Iulee to show her face, first.
Thanks to Zhongli's method, they can track easily where exactly the location is and it's actually one that Elton knows, since it is a leyline point where he himself headed sometimes, in the past.

As soon as JinJin gets off the broom, that he leaves on the ground, he starts to shout desperately: «MOM!».
As he keeps shouting, Iulee finally makes her appearance, coming out of a cave nearby, followed by her two oldest daughters, who assisted her in her plans.
«MOM! YOU HAVE TO LISTEN, YO… YOU HAVE TO GO AWAY!» he shouts, totally stressed and panicked.
Iulee tilts her head, having a slight smirk on her face and clearly pleased that her son showed up. «What is it, my child?» she asks calmly.
JinJin approaches ever so slightly, making sure to keep a fair distance. He doesn't want her mom to die, but he knows by now that she is not a good person and doesn't give for granted that she won't harm him.
«Mom, please, listen… you have to stop with this thing… please, don't make things worse, don't make them angrier… if you stop and go somewhere far away… maybe they'll leave you be…» he says in a very shaken and desperate voice.
Iulee chuckles at his words, feeling a little too overconfident about herself, in truth.

But while she was distracted by her son, the group had the time to arrive to the location and use the talisman Ziqun prepared for them, containing a very powerful anti-teleportation curse that invests quite a large area.
JinJin keeps trying to convince his mother to reason, to stop with her evildoings and leave forever, in hope that this would be enough to save her from the people who plan to kill her, unaware of their whole plan.

JinJin played his part so well that it would almost look as if he was working for the others, but as they show up there, he looks as if he had just seen a Wendigo appearing behind him.
He looks totally shocked and terrified by their arrival, not knowing anymore what do to; he now feels hopeless in his pursuit of saving his mother's life.

After hearing that Zhongli wants to kill his mom, he is left in a very conflicted state. Despite having witnessed his mother's madness and cruelty, by that hut, she is still his mom. And she wasn't like a horrible mother who treated him cruelly. He actually loves her and wants to believe that she loves him too. The thought of just standing still and letting her die makes him feel horrible. He must try to save her.

In the next hours, he "happens" to see Elton flying on a broom right outside his window and he also "happens" to see where Elton "hides" it, when done playing with it. He thinks it's the perfect tool to try to escape the palace, without being stopped by the guards.
And indeed, when night falls, he takes one of his backpacks, the smaller one, and goes to steal the broom, that he uses to fly away from.the palace and start to look for.his mom.

Elton hid his familiar on the broom itself, transforming it into a wooden decoration on the shaft, so that it will be able to see where they are heading and the tool Zhongli gave it will make them able to track them quickly.
But it will take JinJin a couple of days to reach Iulee, since he has to proceed after his instincts guess the way and she is pretty far.
Though, the situation as the palace is less quite than it may appear.

Hoon has been feeling strangely sick, hours before JinJin left.
HoShin, who possesses some medical knowledge and healing powers, doesn't tell anyone about it, as he has always been the one taking care of his children when they fell ill. Plus, the man still doesn't feel fully safe in the palace and can't shake off his worries.
The situation degenerates quickly. No matter how hard HoShin tries to prevent it, eventually Hoon manages to break free from him and leave the residence. And he does so leaving his father very injured, so that he is not able to chase after the child right away.

Hoon starts to wander the palace, slowly making his way towards Zhongli's residence. He is strange, though, one could almost think he has turned into an undead, but it's something even more sinister.
The guards try to stop Hoon, but he is surprisingly powerful and ends up injuring them pretty badly. The child breaks the door of the residence open and proceeds towards the bedroom.
His small body is bleeding pretty much everywhere, his eyes are fully black and empty, with tears of blood pouring out of them. He lets out strange, growling sounds and breathes heavily.

Since the news that the TiHao variant died reached them, he and Elton met in Seoul to have an awesome party to celebrate it. Only them two are the brothers evil enough to celebrate someone's death but they sure had a great time. Lots of alcohol, expensive food, a variety of drugs in different forms, hoes…
Well, TiShan and his friends have a great time, Elton is a bit less open to some stuff, but enjoys what he can.

The next day, he indeed went to the brothel and met Tomiel. He has nothing to complain about, regarding his look, but he definitely needs some decent looking clothes. Their brothel isn't a free hostel for vagabonds, Tomiel will have to bring some money too, if he wants to stay.

Since he is in a good mood, he gives money to the prostitutes who were already hired and sends them to Shiirhuang, to do some wild shopping on his own expanse.

Someone tried to scam him, while searching for the right place for the opening of his second Inn.
That volpastro is currently being beaten up, wildly, by himself. They are in a dark and isolated alley of Shiirhuang. It's night and the only people around him, beside the unfortunate scammer, are his 'followers'/friends.
