Zhong Feng looked at Akira with a frown. He did not think she would be willing to trade a favour just for him to guide a random lost boy with some talent. Either the boy was in trouble, or Akira felt like she owed him.
"You are not telling me everything about this boy." He said.
Akira sighed. "His basic background is not as exciting as you think. You know I spent my childhood in the Immortal Sword Valley. His father is the Chief, and he was in charge of the brigade. The boy was bored and alone, so I took him in as a sort-of student."
"Why do you want to send him away?" Zhong Feng asked.
"To be honest, it is a favour for his father. The Chief has always been so kind to me. Technically, I am his boss, but I cannot turn down his request. I was thinking of sending him to my father in Mountain Ridge. He could live a different life there, at least for a while." She looked wistful as she remembered her family.
