13 The Red Crab (2/2)
”Most of the new students forget to ask where the gathering hall is after getting registered, it is always fun to watch all the new disciples walking around confused, not knowing what to do~.” Ling Yue said, while her countenance slowly changed from a teasing expression into one filled with laughter.
”…”
Sofie had no idea what say, hearing what Ling Yue said. All she could do was speechlessly look at Ling Yue filled with disbelief at this different side of her.
It looked like senior sister Ling Yue was not all good…
”So… Are we going to get something to eat?” Ling Yue asked, while attentively observing the little junior sister in front of her.
”Ah! Y-yes.” Sofie answered nervously.
”Good, then let's get going.” Ling Yue said, as she grabbed Sofie's hand, before dragging her into the direction of the sect grounds entrance.

”By the way, did you remember to bring the sect badge?” Ling Yue asked, as both of them walked through the streets of the scorching sun city.
”Yes, why?” Sofie answered with a somewhat confused look appeared on her face.
”Ah? Well you can't enter the sect grounds without the sect badge unless you are escorted by a elder. Like back when you registered into the sect, elder sun was the reason you could enter before getting the sect badge!” Ling Yue said smilingly.
”But why did you ask whether or not I brought my sect badge when we already left the sect grounds?” Sofie asked suspiciously, as her eyes narrowed slightly while looking at Ling Yue.
”Ahahaha, I might have forgotten it, but no matter. You had the badge with you after all, right?” Ling Yue said while letting out a somewhat guilty laugh, as her eyes darted around the street.
”What would happen if I didn't have my badge on me and en-”
”Ah! Look over there, it's the restaurant we will be eating at!” Ling Yue interrupted Sofie in a hasty manner, as she pointed towards a building a little further down the street.
Sofie, could not understand that Ling Yue dodged the topic and forgot about everything that happened before upon hearing about their sudden arrival at the restaurant Ling Yue wanted for them to eat at.
Soon enough, Sofie rushed to the entrance of the restaurant and before the bewildered eyes of a waiter standing in front of the restaurant entered without waiting in line. Ling Yue soon rushed after the energetic little junior of hers and quickly noticed the bewildered waiter in front of the restaurant.
”My junior sister is new to the city, I hope you can forgive her this once on behave of the scorching sun sect.” Ling Yue said in an apologetic tone.
”N-no no, it's fine. Someone will come and take your order soon.” The waiter regained his composure the moment he heard the words 'scorching sun sect' and answered in a humble tone, before signalling to someone inside the restaurant.
Ling Yue nodded and quickly entered the restaurant.
Sofie on the other hand sat on a table in the centre of the restaurant and saw Ling Yue coming over from the entrance.
”Are we going to eat now?” Sofie asked smiling widely.
”Yes… Just don't run in on your own next time…” Ling Yue said, while a waiter soon came over and took their order.

A few days after Ling Yue and Sofie ate at the famous restaurant. Red Crab. A rumour about a certain little girl eating more than her own weight in food at the Red Crab, spread into the different restaurants of scorching sun city.
