Step 2: Find his sachet nearby

Search the area behind the wooden fence and the tall grass. You will find Feng Sandao’s Sachet, a poorly stitched bag with faint traces of scent—this triggers the next objective.

Return to Feng Sandao and submit the sachet when prompted. This restores his composure, but he quickly walks away, beginning the stealth portion of the tale.

Step 4: Follow him without getting traced

Maintain distance and avoid line-of-sight detection. Use rooftops, bushes, and angled paths to stay out of view. If he becomes suspicious, pause until he relaxes.
