Hao Ren turned around and looked blankly at the wizard who had been hiding his face under the hood the entire time. He could not clearly see the wizard's face, only a thin, unshaved chin.
"What do you mean?" Hao Ren asked quietly.
"I am good at reading people." The wizard turned his head slightly towards him. His voice seemed enchanted as it rang with a hollow echo. "I can see that you are not in a hurry to seek shelter, so you are not interested in the City of Shadows, which the witches have mentioned. You've come to approach them for something else."
Hao Ren curiously looked at the wizard who suddenly spoke. He shrugged and said, "You can say whatever you like. We are all here for our own interests. Not a single one is without a secret at this day and age. It does not matter what the reasons and process as long as the results match the expectations."
