Wandering Tales is a story quest in Where Winds Meet that sends you back into Kaifeng City to track down the owner of the Broken Mask. It sits inside Chapter Two: Universal Furnace, during the Gathering of Heroes arc, and it hands you over to a fortune-teller who knows more than he lets on.
Quick answer: Travel to the Entertainment District in Kaifeng City, speak with Big Zhao and Master Pu the “Know-It-All” fortune-teller, then pick up The Analects book from the ground to finish the quest and move on to Ferryman.
Wandering Tales quest details
The quest picks up right after Search the Place, with the Ember of East now locked down under heavy guard. With that route closed off, your only real lead is Master Pu, the fortune-teller known as the “Know-It-All,” who can point you toward the mask’s owner.

How to complete Wandering Tales
Before the Universal Furnace: Gathering of Heroes questline wraps up, the game reveals that the Broken Mask belongs to a member of the Nine Mortal Ways. Master Pu’s advice sets up the hunt for whichever one of them is the thief, which carries directly into the Ferryman quest.
Wandering Tales rewards
Finishing the quest pays out a mix of currency, experience, and exploration progress for the Kaifeng region.
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Echo Jade | 20 |
| Kaifeng Exploration | 10 |
| Enlightenment Points | 400 |
| Character EXP | 4,000 |
| Coin | 4,000 |
How to confirm the quest is done
You know Wandering Tales is complete once you collect The Analects and the quest tracker advances to Ferryman. If nothing updates, the most common reason is that you spoke to Master Pu but skipped the book on the ground, so return to the spot where the conversation took place and pick it up.
From here, the trail leads toward the Nine Mortal Ways as you work to identify the mask’s true owner, keeping the Gathering of Heroes storyline moving forward.
