"I was from Jacques Town," Nao Pei said. "It is a small town. Though small, it is roughly the same as every other town in this upper world. Everyone performs daily routines of worshipping the Divine and the tasks allocated to them by the priests of the Holy Temple."
"Mm, all the towns in this upper world are like that?" Amon asked.
"As far as I know," Nao Pei replied. "Then again, I didn't have much time learning about the world, because Elder Nao Dongli found me when I was nine years old. He told me I have a talent with my mind, that I can move things with my thoughts alone. He showed me things, which I must admit were pretty amazing for a little kid like me at the time. So, I agreed to follow him, and he brought me here. I have never left this place since..."
"Why do you follow him?" Amon asked. "I admit telekinesis might look amazing, but so does cultivation. Why leave your family and follow a stranger who offers dubious power instead of staying and learning the profound way?"
