You say that like we're just going to be sitting around at home. We're basically training to be the Cai clan's chief diplomat. The Savage Seas, Thousand Lakes, Golden Fields, White Sky, Underworld, and perhaps even beyond to the Thousand Princes and other distant lands. I want Biyu to get some quality 'Ling QiI'm inclined towards ambition, personally.
