Chapter 100: Request
Seeing that Ha Tuo wanted to persuade her, Mother Ha added, "Listen to Mother. No matter what happens, protect your life and look after your younger sister. That’s all your mother asks."
Ha Tuo knew the odds were against his mother surviving the journey to Xiqiang City, but he couldn’t bear the thought of losing another family member.
Still, seeing the clarity in his mother’s eyes, he could only nod. "Yes, Mother."
While Ha Tuo and his family rested and planned their next steps, his comrades did the same. No one knew how many of them would make it to Xiqiang City, but none of them gave up.

It was rare for Fan Wanming to seek him out early in the morning, so Feng Xiyan asked, "General Fan, it’s not often I see you here this early. Do you have something to report?"
Fan Wanming nodded and replied, "Great General, the temple of Fairy Bai was completed this morning. I came to ask about the golden statue. We don’t know what Fairy Bai looks like, and the craftsmen didn’t dare to sculpt the statue without permission."
When Feng Xiyan heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, "This general will ask Fairy Bai and see if she is willing to bestow us with her image."
