Li Fan felt embarrassed to disturb or delay others. He only briefly exchanged a few words with his fellow disciples during the seventh offering ceremony for those who had fallen in the calamity, knowing that Master Wei didn't give them a hard time and that they were all calmly recuperating, and that was that.
Alone and incredibly bored, with bodyguards secretly following him and not wanting to throw plates to tease Kun, he thought it over and finally decided to visit someone he knew. He immediately went to the outer sect and sought out Liang Qian for drinks.
Liang Qian was that flat-headed worker from Keshaan Restaurant. Of course, it wasn't to watch a performance—Li Fan couldn't afford the expensive steamed buns that always cost a pretty penny. Luckily, a working man like Liang Qian knew where to find a stall to drink and eat skewers in town. When Li Fan invited him, he didn't refuse. The two ordered rice wine and meat skewers and sat down to shoot the breeze.
