687 Startling Change at Zephyr 3 (1/2)
The Zephyr Academy was as quiet as usual and everything looked like nothing had ever happened.
Within the compounds, idle disciples could be seen all over the place. They were gathered in groups of threes and fives and were laughing and giggling among themselves as they passed.
When Jun Wu Xie walked into the academy, she did not attract the attention of others. She passed through the main thoroughfare and went towards the bamboo grove at the side.
Just as she was about to enter, a loud exclamation suddenly sounded, coming from a youth behind.
”Jun Xie? Are you Jun Xie?”
Jun Wu Xie turned her head and saw that it was a youth wearing the jade emblem on his chest that showed he was from the Spirit Healer faculty as Jun Wu Xie started expressionlessly at him.
The youth suddenly seemed to become conscious of his own overly excited self and he then smiled sheepishly.
”I'm sorry, I must have startled you. I am a disciple in the Spirit Healer faculty and having not seen you for such a long while, I was just too surprised to suddenly see you appear here.”
”What is it?” Jun Wu Xie asked softly.
The youth scratched at his head awkwardly and said: ”Nothing really, but are you intending to go to the dwelling in the bamboo grove?”
Jun Wu Xie nodded.
”About that... the dwelling had not been occupied for a while and nobody has come to clean up the place for many days. Wouldn't you rather stay in the dormitories instead?” The youth said stiffly. He wanted to get a little more familiar with Jun Wu Xie but could not find anything much to say and could only say the first thing that came to his mind.
When Jun Wu Xie and Fan Zhuo had left the Zephyr Academy, nobody else besides Fan Jin and Fan Qi had any knowledge of it. All the other people had thought Jun Wu Xie had left due to tasks assigned to her by Gu Li Sheng and Fan Qi had used the reason that Fan Zhuo had been sent outside for treatment of his condition.
”Nobody? What about Fan Jin?” Jun Wu Xie asked, an eyebrow raised suddenly.
Before she came back, she had been thinking whether Ning Rui's hand would extend out to reach Fan Jin after cold bloodedly murdering Fan Qi.
