Fu Sheng walked beside me without speaking, but I could tell from his expression that his mind was still on the land and everything we had discussed.
"We will need to move quickly," he said after a while, his tone calm but thoughtful.
I nodded slightly.
"Yes," I replied. "If we delay too much, we will fall behind."
He glanced at me.
"There is still a lot we need," he said.
"I know," I answered. "That is why we should not try to handle everything alone."
He did not respond immediately, but his eyes showed that he understood what I meant.
After a short moment, I added, "There is someone who can help us understand this place better."
Fu Sheng looked at me briefly.
"An Li?" he asked.
"Yes," I replied.
He nodded once.
"Then let us go."
