It's over, Xie'jing!

Careful! Take it easy mom...

I'm proud of you, Feng.

Don't worry about us, dear. Thank you for the help.

Nooooooooooo!

Why?! How is this possible?!

How...

She's really gone.

Yes. Yes she is.

Thank you.

You killed Xie'jing?

Yes, we did.

If there was another way...

You're not starting a fight. Not with my parents!

Feng, dear. Sheathe your sword.

Did she suffer?

I...I'd like to think that she didn't. But...

I don't think we'll ever know.

That's fair enough, I suppose.

Where are you going?

Wherever my feet take me. Now if you'll excuse me...

Long!

Don't stop him, dear. He has a lot on his mind.

Wait!

What is it?

Listen...I know it's a bit awkward and all, but...

Thank you, really. For the help.

It was nothing.

Look, I'm sure my parents could tell you the whole story about what happened...between them and your mother...

We are not our parents.

Y-Yes, we aren't.

Well, I'll see you around then.

Yeah, Have a safe journey...

Would...would he have attacked us?

Possibly. But he didn't seem to have any killing intent.

Dad, Mom...

Enough of that! Come here, you.

Look at you! Adventuring in the world!

Soon we'll have to hire a scribe to write down everything you've done!

Dad! Stop embarrassing me!

Mom, do something!

I'm sorry, I think Feng dropped this.

My phoenix charm! But...how...

And I remembered that I heard of a great place on the way up to the north that makes an amazing mapo tofu, so if you're going that way...

Of course! It would be a pleasure to have you come with us.

I'm sure that Feng would love the company. Right, dear?

Mom!

We should get started, then. We have a long way to go, and a lot to talk about!

Let me talk to my wife about the route.

She didn't drop it, didn't she?

No, it wasn't. He has very quick hands.

Look at them...talking as if they were old friends.

Don't worry, dear. It seems that they like each other, and I'll make sure that nothing else happens.

I remember you being just as relentless, a long time ago...

Would you like to walk all the way back, dear?

Haha! I'll saddle the horses, love. Right away!
