“However, I still have to thank the two young men who saved my grandson. You are good and noble-hearted people. You will definitely become great people in the future,” said the Grandpa. “Then we leave. Once again, dear to you,” said the Grandfather, before leaving with a child named Li Jing.
Wuxian and Huang Chao looked at each other for a moment. Then, Huang Chao threw the bag containing the clothes to Wuxian.
“Well! It's your turn to take him,” Huang Chao's orders.
After walking down a long dark hallway, they finally reached the end. They made it out that night, too. It was still dark, but the moonlight managed to make the night not too dark.
“You... Aren't you the one who showed us this passageway? Young man, we are very grateful for your help, we can all survive,” said a middle-aged man when he recognized Huang Chao's face.
Instantly, the residents of Yi City thanked Huang Chao. Not to forget anyway, they gave the precious things they had saved to Huang Chao. Huang Chao was indeed a little uneasy with their excessive treatment of him.
“You can have it. You'll need it.”
“No, you need it more. You do not need to repay my services, because I do it just want to help yourself and all of you so that we can be safe together,” said Huang Chao.
“Receive. We do it because we feel bad if we receive help for Free.”
“Then, thank you,” said Huang Chao. Nor could he refuse the item they gave him, as they forced Huang Chao to accept it.
After the surviving residents of Yi City gave their valuables to Huang Chao, they split up to choose their own way of life. Although they had lost everything they had built and had in Yi City, they did not want to lament as much as possible.
They split up to evacuate to other cities adjacent to Yi City. It is also good, because they do not need to live by reversing the day, which is to make the day as night, and make the night into day.
“See! This is the reply for being willing to help others,” Wuxian temptations.
Huang Chao turned his eyes away, as he thought that Wuxian's remark was very annoying to him. “I helped them make to get all these troublesome items. That means our burden on the journey increases. Since you are happy, then you alone brought all this,” Huang Chao said.
Huang Chao handed over the items given by the residents of Yidan City put them together into one, then threw them towards Wuxian.
“Because you are happy, you alone brought all that,” said Huang Chao while displaying his sneaky smile. He threw the scroll towards Wuxian. Wuxian had no choice but to catch him, as he did not want the scrolls to fall down.
After handing over all of those items to Wuxian, Huang Chao took the spell before him without the slightest burden.
“Hei! Brother Chao, you are truly outrageous. At least, bring some stuff. Why did you tell me to bring all this?” wuxian Protest.
“Close your mouth and just take it all with you. We must continue the journey,” said Huang Chao.
“Totally. He seemed to be happy without burden after enslaving me,” muttered Wuxian, annoyed at Huang Chao's reckless behavior towards him.
Wuxian had no choice but to bring the items and specially Huang Chao who had walked away. “Yang is right. He said we're brothers? Hey, wait for me!” shouted Huang Chao.

“Excuse me, what road ahead there will take us to North area?” huang Chao asked a tea shop owner.
“True, the road does refer to the North area. By the way, why are you asking?” ask the shop owner.
“We will .. .” As usual, Wuxian's words were instantly cut off by Huang Chao.
“It's okay, we're just curious,” continued Huang Chao.
“Oooh, so like that. If you guys want to go there, I suggest it is better not to go for now,” said the store owner.
Huang Chao furrowed his eyebrows when he heard the statement from the owner of the teahouse. It sounded a little suspicious, making Huang Chao and Wuxian even more curious. “Why? Why can't we go there?” huang Chao and Wuxian asked simultaneously.
“It seems you guys are not here. Young man, don't you guys have a guardian?” ask the tea shop owner.
“Wali?” ask Wuxian.
“Do you guys have no parents?” ask the owner of the shop again.
Wuxian and Huang Chao were just silent. Finally, Huang Chao spoke up first. “No, we have no parents. We are just a child who wants to travel, ” replied Huang Chao.
“Ah, so so. I suggest you not come to the North. Lately, I've heard the climate in the North is unstable. The ice sheet begins to thicken due to frequent blizzards. The swords who trade there are also many who move their merchandise in the other direction,” explained the owner of the tea shop.
“Really? Did that ice sheet happen just because of the climate, or maybe? All this time, I've never heard of a Northern region experiencing such a disaster.” Huang Chao who was suspicious from the start, immediately asked to investigate the true incident.
The owner of the tavern thought for a moment, only then did he start to get Wuxian and Huang Chao close to their teliga.
“Actually, about the blizzard it is just a fabricated rumor surrounding residents. The real story, a big incident seems to have happened there. Local people tried to cover up the incident with rumors that the North area was experiencing a snowstorm disaster,” whispered the owner of the teahouse.
“Thanks for the information,” said Huang Chao.
“Then, enjoy your tea. I will serve others,” he said before leaving Wuxian and Huang Chao sitting in one of the customer seats.
“Interesting. Wuxian, what do you think?” Huang Chao asked Wuxian for an opinion.
Wuxian was silent for a moment, just starting to speak up. “I feel like what the Shopkeeper said was true. It is rather strange if the North region that has never experienced a similar disaster, is threatened to experience a disaster that seems exaggerated. However, there is little that is bothering. About traders from there, are they really displaced?” Wuxian said what he thought.
“Lumayan. You're pretty smart,” said Huang Chao. “If you want to make rumors as real, of course it takes some things that support it. I don't think that snowstorms are entirely wrong. It could be, a snowstorm that occurred in the North area actually occurred. However, the storm did not occur naturally,” said Huang Chao.
