As you approach the small bridge, a woman named Yifong will ask that you turn around and leave "this cursed and miserable town." She tells you that the Great Dam has opened and that it's causing the river to be too low for anyone to navigate. Therefore, the town has been cut off from the Empire and is suffering as a result. She and her daughter Fuyao are heading into the wilderness in search of a better life and no amount of coaxing will change their minds. This isn't the last you'll see of them, though...

Next, you'll witness a few of the local sailors threatening an unknown woman. Regardless of whether or not you stick up for her, you'll wind up fighting the trio. Luckily, between the help you receive from your follower and the fighting capabilities of the strange woman, these three should fall fast.

When the battle is over, Sagacious Zu will recognize the woman as Hui. Hui will mention a child she and Zu rescued twenty years ago (Dawn Star, perhaps?) before telling you about the role she plays in your journey and her commitment to Master Li/Sun Li. She will teach you a very valuable combat style called Spirit Thief, which happens to be the only way to significantly recover your Chi during battle (aside from a follower's support style, anyway). Take the time to map the style to your hotkeys right away, as you'll definitely be making use of it (and find yourself practically relying on it) throughout the game. The best way to improve this technique is to allocate points toward its speed only, while saving your other level up points on fully upgrading both your preferred weapon and martial styles.

After teaching you the new style, Hui heads inside the Teahouse, where she asks you to meet her to discuss more of the events taking place within the Empire.
