The cart provides a nice, swift ride thanks to the rather enthusiastic yak hauling it, delivering you to the base of the temple stairs. Ascending, you find yourself met by not only Ji and Aysa, but also Korga, Delora, Elder Shaopai, and- surprise surprise, the spirit of Master Shang. You may take a moment before talking to Shang to speak with both Ji and Aysa, as well.
Ji tells you that the day full of hard decisions has still been a good one in its way. Having the courage to make decisions, he says, is vital for everyone, and that he did what he had to in order to avoid a most tragic fate- but he is aware, though regretful, that not everyone agrees with him. He further explains that he has determined that his time to leave Shen-zin’s back is now, so that no others here will be burdened with the results of his decision and so that he can work for the betterment of more than just those who reside upon the turtle.
He tells you that while he has only known Korga a short while, he identifies strongly with the Tauren, and would gladly support him in his future endeavors. Ji also enthuses that he looks favorably upon you after all that you and he have accomplished. He is hoping that you will go with him and Korga, but acknowledges that there is more to take into account than his own view.
Aysa, meanwhile, explains that she understands that not all think as the Tushui and that there are other ways to find wisdom- but despite this, she is sure that some risks are unacceptable. And therefore, there are some decisions and choices that should never be accepted and which she cannot forgive. Her time to leave Shen-zin Su has also arrived and for her part, she seeks to find herself with Delora Lionheart.
She explains that she has found the Alliance captain to be a woman of great confidence and valor, and that the stories of the Alliance leave her hopeful about its people. She is uncertain if she will find her home there, but does know that she wishes to help more than just the people living upon the great turtle. Despite the events that unfolded, Aysa says, she has enjoyed spending time with you and hopes that you will also travel to the Alliance- but she understands that it is not an easy decision to make.
Finally, it is time to talk to Shang Xi. He compliments you an all that you have done, and tells you it is good to meet again- and that you have saved Shen-zin Su, making Shang very proud indeed. The new allies, though, have made him aware that there is a new and important truth: Shen-zin Su is not the only thing that is suffering righ tnow. All of the world is in trouble, in need of healing, and you and your companions should be the ones to heal it.
