Breathing out a sigh of relief knowing that he had bigger problems to deal with than Zun jing's attics. But figuring out were he was suppose to start for re-sealing a demonic spirit was more of an issue. It wouldn't be hard for them to get far and if it did where was he going to start looking. Closing his eyes he started taking in the sweet delicate fragrance of the surrounding peonies taking note of how it's fragrance had a way to calm the mind also taking a mental note on how it could be used for Zun jing. A slight russell of the trees soon caught his attention looking up there was a man hanging upside-down by his feet on one of the branches with a sly grin on his face.
To anybody else it wouldn't be unlikely for someone to assume that he was a delinquent or even a lunatic. The man seemed to be listening in to the conversation that took place earlier as well.
"Still having trouble with your military Xian Xiao" the man said smiling before jumping down landing perfectly on his feet.
"You know that the emperor controls the military" Xian Xiao had no intention to drag this out but still smiling he walked closer to me.
"So Zun jing is just incompetent" he said letting out a small chuckle.
"You could be beheaded for saying such things you know" Xian Xiao said though he didn't seem to worry about my comment brushing off my concern as he kept that grin on his face.
Xian Xiao let out a sigh as i started walking away only for him to follow walking right next to me.
Unlike the other disciple's of the hua sect instead of blue hues with light teal accents his clothes were more coloured with darker tones like black and grey with slight gold accents with his outer robes being white.
"So do you need something or are you just spying for the emperor Yao Hui" Xian Xiao said.
"what i can't spend time with you on my day off" Yao Hui said giving Xian Xiao a wink.
"No you can't, you show up when you want something from me" letting out a gasp Yao Hui placed a hand over his chest pretending to be affected by those words.
"You wound me Xian Xiao" he said with that same smile on his face Xian Xiao was used to Yao Hui tactics so his use of flattery was not uncommon to Xian Xiao.
Yao Hui sucked his teeth.
"Fine, Fine i want the flute, are you happy my love" Yao Hui said reluctantly mumbling something under his breath as Xian Xiao took a pause his expression faltered slightly from Yao Hui calling him "love"l. Yao Hui wasn't as bothered by this because he would normally say words like these that were meant to be said to you significant other to anyone such as dear, darling, sweetheart, or baby Xian Xiao was not used to being addressed like this by Yao Hui so it was only natural for him to ask him not to call him that.
"I am not entangled with you in any way so refrain from addressing me like that" Xian Xiao said a small blush creeping on his face.
This surprised Yao Hui looking at how just a word made Xian Xiao upset.
With this type of new gained information and how Xian Xiao responded this gave Yao Hui an idea. He slowed down his pace and instead of being right next to Xian Xiao he was now behind him. Xian Xiao saw how Yao Hui slowed down to end up behind him already guessing that he had ill-intentions.
After a couple minutes of walking Xian Xiao didn't realize how close Yao Hui actually was to him after he stop in his tracks at the smell of blood. The smell of iron hit Xian Xiao in the face it made him stop immediately at a halt Yao Hui on the other hand walked straight into Xian Xiao back with a thump.
Xian Xian couldn't help but snicker a bit before letting out a cough.
"My apologies" Xian Xiao said.
