Inside the temple, the bandit leader went to the kitchen on the right to find some wood and lit a bonfire. Mi Lan distributed the food and wine from the Storage Bag to everyone. Through conversation, Mi Lan learned that the bandit leader was named Guo Kun, who was originally the senior disciple of the third-rate sect, Iron Fist Sect. Later, because of a treasure hunt against other third-rate sects, the Iron Fist Sect was destroyed. Guo Kun and just over thirty surviving disciples were hunted down, only to be rescued by the leader of the Gigantic Dragon stronghold and taken under his command. Unfortunately, by that time, only sixteen people remained. With nowhere else to go, Guo Kun had no choice but to take his sixteen junior martial brothers and make a living by waylaying travelers—though, of course, half of their loot had to be turned over to the stronghold.
Mi Lan also briefly introduced himself to Guo Kun and the others. The generosity of the Mi Family's third young master was widely known around Donghai City, and Guo Kun and his men had naturally heard of it, so they raised their cups one after another to express their admiration.
The introduction of the male-attired woman and her servant was very simple. The woman was named Zhou Yuting, and the old man was named Donglai.
