"Ok, umm… Master Hei, right?"
"Yes, Master Lin!"
I tilted my head, "You're asking me for help but what kind of help do you even need? Are you hoping that I can uncripple you or something?"
His eyes widened, "I… I dare not hope for such a thing… But if it's possible… I will be eternally grateful!"
I held up my hand, "Before that… I'd like to know some things first…"
"Of course! Anything!"
"How did you even manage to avoid being treated like trash with your crippled meridians? I'd thought the people here would have treated you a lot worse than this."
His shoulders slumped, "Ah… That is because I am not completely crippled, thus I can still access my storage ring where I can use the cultivation pills I have to boost my own aura artificially. The pills I've brought from the Earthen Plane are especially potent here but I'm running out of them… Once I do, they'll know that I'm not as strong as they think I am!"
