To give Xiaolin some field training, Gale decided to take her into the mountains and hike. Nothing too serious for her first try, but they were playing to go into deeper areas where common people shouldn't venture no matter the time.
But it seemed with the appearance of the innkeeper, they had to delay the trip for a later date.
"I don't know," Wang Li said, carrying Rong'er. "I won't feel safe taking Rong'er to the wild."
"And you won't feel relieved leaving him here as well," Xiaolin said, frowning. She turned to her master. "Maybe we should cancel it this time around."
Before Gale could reply, the older woman opened her mouth to answer. "No, you don't have to cancel your plans because of me," she said. "You two can just venture into the mountains while we'll wait in the house."
Gale shook his head. "No, that won't look good for us being the host," he said. "I guess we can do it after the festival."
