Next morning. I was all ready to go to Noncho village. I packed my empress costume and gave it to Guo Ning since I thought it would be better in his hand than mine. In my bag, I carried some spare clothes for the "stay". I simply hope that they don't get in contact with Qiu Si's household.
Anyway, with that Guo Ning and I began our journey towards Noncho. The beginning of the journey was fine, even with neither of us talking. However, as time passed, it became increasingly awkward for me to walk with him. I don't know why, but walking like this with him was extremely weird. I just couldn't think of holding a conversation with him. I guess we're better talkers with our bodies when we fight.
"Umm, Guo Ning. Why don't you head forward from here on and check if the path is clear and stuff?" I basically ordered.
It was hard to keep him around like this, so I had just this choice.
"Ah, yes! I will do that." He looked enthusiastic as he accepted the task.
