"Actually, we met your senior brother in a small town three years ago, when we were on our way to the Capital," Du Jiahui said. "Tianhong and I arrived at the town at night. Unfortunately for us, we ran into a couple of rogues who mugged us and took all of our money. Because we were trying to fight back, it seemed like the robbers wanted to kill us. It just so happened that as I shouted for help, your senior brother was walking past that dark alleyway. He fought off them off easily and saved us."
"Xiaochen took us to the inn he was staying at and even paid for our room since we didn't have any money left." He Tianhong continued the story. "Since we were all headed to the Capital, we travelled together. We really hit it off on the road and got to know each other pretty well. I think your senior brother was our first friend in this world."
"Kind of like Mo Xian and me," Wang Jingyuan commented. He Tianhong nodded.
