"Have you been to Shulin forest before?"
Y/n shook their head. Hell, they only got flung into PIDW a few months ago!
Liu Qingge crossed his arms and furrowed his brow in thought, falling into silence again. They were currently sitting next to a makeshift fire, and their outer robes are hanging off of nearby tree branches to dry. Y/n's skin felt too clammy and they shivered in their inner robe, but powered through it. They can't just strip in front of the War God himself!!
...Right?
Y/n's face heated up at the mere thought. Thinking of THE Liu Qingge, shirtless, a pink blush all along his graceful throat—
NO SHUT UP STOP NOW PLEASE HE'S LITERALLY RIGHT THERE—
Liu Qingge sneezed, startling Y/n.
He didn't seem to have any idea of what Y/n was thinking if, though. He didn't even notice how red Y/n's face got, with his eyes intently trained on the fire.
He said, "I've only been here a handful of times, and with my spiritual energy intact," he scowled at that, "but even then it was difficult to navigate through."
Y/n frowned, "Is there some sort of enchantment on the forest?"
"Mn." Liu Qingge sighed, and said, "Unfortunately, I can't access my qi and you've just barely started your early core formation stage. Either we wait here until Yixuan or one of the others somehow manages to stumble upon us, or..." Liu Qingge trailed off.
"Or what?" Y/n asked, intrigued.
"Or I can teach YOU how to get us out of here."
"...!!!"
Wait. Waitwaitwaitwait, is this what Y/n thinks it is???
IS HE OFFERING TO PERSONALLY TEACH Y/N HOW TO USE THEIR QI?!?!
Y/n suddenly heard a happy chime.
[System Notification:
Hidden Quest: Save the Damsel Shizun!]
Y/n stifled a snort at the title, receiving a confused look from said "damsel" in the process. Y/n regained their composure and continued reading. The System might even give them a clue!

Y/n blinked.
Um, system? What's with all the "Hidden" shit?
"Well?"
Y/n startled, realizing that Liu Qingge had been staring at them expectantly for at least a hot minute. Y/n floundered, "I-I'd be honored, shizun!"
Liu Qingge gave them a suspicious look, but decided against bringing anything up and just blew out a breath.
"First," their shizun held out a piece of joss paper with foreign markings on it.
