Naturally the very important thing he had to do before heading out that might change his entire fate was…
S*cking up to Mu Di Bai!
Never underestimate the power of relationships and flattery. Sure, Mu Di Bai had helped him all this way, but it was clear that although Mu Di Bai didn't seem to hate Di Tou, just counting the time they had spent together, it had been no more than a month, so how could Mu Di Bai care for him as a person that much? It was clear that because of his Mandate and Mu Di Bai's on inclinations, he was hoping to keep Di Tou alive to achieve what the Mandate needed of him. In such a way, it would create a win-win situation.
