Turning point.


The next morning, he gets out of the room early, before 5 am. He wears back his clothes from Earth and goes to wash the white hanfu and the underclothes from Cloud Recesses, that he folds and places back into the room he was given.

Done that, he waits for someone from ShengHuo Sect to wake up, carefully avoiding XueBao. Although he was said he is not a prisoner, he doesn't intend to speak to someone who will obstacle him, refuse to let him go or warn whole Shiinden even before he manages to make one step towards the exit.
His target is Qiren, when he sees him. He looks authoritative enough to have power, at least to let him go.

He has a brief, private talk with Qiren, simply telling him that he is healed and needs to leave. The old man wasn't told anything about not letting him go and since WonPil didn't do anything wrong, that he is aware of, he doesn't see why he shouldn't allow him to leave.
The teacher gives WonPil one of the jade jewels needed to pass through the barriers and points him the way.

WonPil leaves without warning anyone. All he does is write a paper that he leaves on the bed of the room in which he stayed, reciting | I have stuff to do. Mollayo when I will be back. |

Once outiside the last layer of barriers, he summons his fairy steed and mounts on it, taking off, hurrying to put some distance from Cloud Recesses.
After a very long flight, that takes almost the whole day, he reaches the destination he had in mind: the abandoned village in FengShii.
He lands down in the forest nearby and wears his cloth, before proceeding towards the village itself.
It's still day and there is almost nobody on sight, as most of the Nimox are night creatures.

He explores the village, being extremely cautious, and reaches the Qiu residence. There are some Nimox to surveil the entrance and the garden, but using some of the gadget from his cloth, he manages to trick them into following a mirrored reflection of himself in the opposite side, which allows him to get closer to the building.
There, he gets to see inside from some of the windows, but he can't stay for long. He sees that there is really many Nimox inside and the ones guarding the entrance are already on their way back, so there isn't much more that he can do, for now.

He hurries to leave the residence and then the village, returning to the forest to get on his mount and taking off again, this time to reach a city he has never even seen nor heard about, that isn't in Fenghshii.

Thing is, all the terrible things that happened to him also led to an actual empowerment; while he was alone or just with WonZi to death with all sort of illusions and hallucinations from his unstable mind, he was forced to react and therefore, to cultivate. Whole nights, every night, fighting against inexistent foes threatening him and his son.
He mastered the use of the Tarots entirely and due to his secondary element and the passive effect it has, it led to unexpectedly powerful and unique features, among which, communicating with the characters of the Tarots through dreams. And they reveal him things, that are not at all casual.

~ After riding for another hour or so, when the sun is by now making room to a cold and dark evening, the lights of the city he was looking for finally appear in the distance and he prepares to land.
He dismounts and leaves his fairy steed outside, also taking off his cloth. Instead of It, he wears the special headband he received in the House of Fox and finally walks through the city gates, proceeding on the main street.
It's the city where RuYin and the others met.

WonPil walks slowly among the people. Thanks to the headband, every person sees him with a different look, making him unrecognisable — unless using a mirror, as it's reflection will always show the truth.
He is heading towards an illegal gambling house, where he counts to meet someone useful.

Teucer °I felt something at this table, like an occasion, who knows what two strangers can bring up.
I have to admit it, I am interested to know more about the matter. Tell me more about you, where do you come from? It is a far place?
Then you asked also someone else? Or you were talking about you? 2 against 50.
Them it is among us.° he bets again.

Tiao
Tiao He narrows his eyes. "He is IG..." He mutters with a low tone to WonPil, to warn him. Well, he doesn't know knights and it makes sense he thinks he could rather be an IG. "Don't tell him." He tells him just because WonPil seems new to it, in his opinion.
"What would make you think I cannot bring down 50 or 100 together." He doesn't show off actual small tricks inside that place even if he could.
"You are probably going to win this round."

Memory
Memory He moves his hands under the table at Sasori's first words, panicking. His mind isn't exactly stable, he is still affected by fear, regardless how he struggles to manage it.
He sends a shocked glance to RuYin at his words. "An IG?" Then looks at Sasori. "Why else would you ask such questions in a place like this. Nobody would tell their real information here." But he would have no choice, either say the truth or silence.
"You don't need to know anything more about it. You are very suspicious. It would be problematic for sure if all the people in here started to suspect you as well." He is glad that RuYin saved him from Sasori.

Teucer
Teucer He looks at RuYin, °The fact that I don't know you and I don't know the people that you are going to face. I can talk only for myself I suppose.° he laughs as he says he is a IG, °Are you kidding me?
For what I think you are the suspicious one, if you don't want the work to go smoothly then go ahead and take me out. But don't come crying at me later if something go wrong°

Tiao
Tiao He nods once at WonPil. He stands up from the table at the end of the match.
"I don't know them either but not even trained soldiers could survive me." He is not into the idea of redemption but he cannot openly show off who he is. He also risks to be laughed at.
"XiongZhang. Get undressed and prove you are not." He is clueless, but he is actually the one with the IG mark. XD
