1488 So That’s How It Is 1 (1/2)

By the time Jun Wu Xie got back to Mount Fu Yao, the skies were just beginning to show its first glimmers of light. Only a scattered few people were in the streets in that mountaintop. She walked soundlessly to the inn she was residing at and when she pushed the door softly onwards, the sounds of a couple of rising and falling snores could immediately be heard. A tall figure sat upright upon a bed at the side, his handsome countenance twisted up with worry as he sat forlornly with a frown while staring out the window.

When he heard the sound of the door being pushed inwards, the youth immediately turned his head around, his face looking dumbly straight at Jun Wu Xie, and then lighting up with absolute delight.

Jun Wu Xie put a finger to her lips in a gesture to remain quiet and then hooked her finger at him, indicating for Qiao Chu to come outside.

Qiao Chu instantly shot himself outside and the two of them took the opportunity that it was not yet light to find themselves a spot within the mountain woods where there was nobody around to sit down upon the grass.

His behind had just touched the ground when Qiao Chu could no longer wait to open his mouth to speak.

”Where could our little lass have disappeared to the entire night! ? I waited up the entire time and when I did not see you return, I thought that something had happened to you!” Qiao Chu lamented as he stared at Jun Wu Xie, his face highly sorrowful. When everyone had split up and gone on to find their own ways to sneak into Mount Fu Yao, they had all fully believed and had faith in each other's powers. But he had just miraculously bumped into Jun Wu Xie yesterday and seen her for awhile even she had quickly gone missing that very same night. His poor little heart had really found that a little hard to take.

”I went to get some things done.” Jun Wu Xie then seemed to be thinking for a brief moment before she opened her mouth to call out: ”Ye Sha, Ye Gu.”

As soon as her voice fell, the figures of Ye Sha and Ye Gu immediately appeared behind her.

”What instructions does Young Miss have for us?”

The two men immediately asked.

”When I was at the Spirit Jade Palace earlier, did the two of you detect anything?” Jun Wu Xie asked them.

However…..

Ye Sha and Ye Gu were silent.
