Long Yang did not object.
His trip out of the capital was sudden and he did not bring any money with him.
They could not return via the cliff and had to take the longer route. Long Yang had no idea how far the journey back to the imperial capital would be; it might take a few days on the road.
He paused, then said, "If both of you are willing to come with me, I will make sure to arrange good accommodation for both of you. If you have other plans, feel free to let me know. I will do everything I can to help you get what you want."
The hunter and his wife could tell that he would be true to his word.
However…
The hunter held his wife's hand and said to Long Yang, "We are used to living here and we don't wish to leave. However, I will lead you to town and help you hire a horse carriage."
"Thank you." Long Yang was silent for a long while before thanking them sincerely.
