Junshan Silver Needle Tea	Sir Dongding Oolong... are you okay?
Dongding Oolong	I owe you a debt of gratitude. Put aside the medicine.
Junshan Silver Needle Tea	Uhh... Might I ask where?
Everyone was wreck and ruin. The mountain villa that had been half-restored was once again back to its previous derelict condition. Dongding Oolong wearily sat in a fairly in-tact seat, then pointed to a stool off to the side. Junshan Silver Needle Tea nodded and carefully put down the medicine. Unexpectedly, the next second, the stood fell apart as if split in two, causing a clatter.
Junshan Silver Needle Tea	...Sorry, sorry!
Dongding Oolong	...I got it. Today I won't make you stay and visit.
Junshan Silver Needle Tea	That's fine! That's fine!
Even someone as slow on the uptake as Junshan Silver Needle Tea sensed that the atmosphere wasn't right today and quickly said her goodbyes.
Dongding Oolong	*Sigh*... How can I make him trust me?
Dongding Oolong was stumped. That night, he and Royal Jelly accidentally walked their way into the valley's Land of Reverie in their search for two lost dragonlings, making Royal Jelly's memory play back on the mountain wind with no reservation. Even though Royal Jelly quickly fled the area, he was so angry he reduced that precious Land of Reverie to a pile of useless rubble. He didn't hear any new information, but this was of no use. Royal Jelly firmly believed this was all a trap set by him, in order to see what he had been through after escaping from the sacrificial ceremony.
Dongding Oolong	(Tricking people too much really does have its comeuppance.)
Dongding Oolong shook his head, feeling that his future prospects were shaky.
