”Is anyone home, it's me Elder Yao Wu”.
Elder Jiang Mei froze. When the voice called out from outside her door, she almost couldn't believe her ears. Why would Elder Yao be here at this time?
She quickly composed herself before opening the door. She was wearing a pink silk gown. It was so thin Elder Yao could almost see through it. The way it flapped in the wind made her seem like a celestial fairy.
”Elder Yao, why are you here so late at night?”
”May I come in? Theres something I need to speak to you about”.
”Yes, of course. Come in”, she opened the door up a bit wider.
Elder Yao walked in and she began to close the door till she saw a dark silhouette in the distance. When she looked at it with narrowed eyes she could tell it resembled Xiao Fang.
”Is something the matter?”, Elder Yao said curiously.
”Ah no I'm simply admiring the moonlight”, but as she spoke Elder Yao was already next to her looking out her door.
...
”Mn, I agree. It's an especially beautiful moon out tonight”.
When she looked back outside, the silhouette was gone. She inwardly sighed in relief.

Xiao Fang saw the elder enter her house so decided to give up on her tonight.
He wandered around till eventually his feet brought him back home to Li Lian.
”It seems my body has a mind of it's own”, he chuckled to himself.
He was less than a 100 meters away from her house when he noticed where his body was taking him, but before he could turn around, he saw Li Lian and her parents coming from afar, so he hid.

Li Lian had arrived a bit earlier than usual to welcome her parents to the sect. She showed them all the hot spots and spent most of the evening with them. They didn't get along very well back home outside of the sect, but that didn't mean they didn't have their good moments. She had to admit, she enjoyed their visit upto this point.
When Li Lian and her parents finally arrived home, she found an unexpected visitor waiting for them. It was her senior brother, Gao Chen; The man she'd been avoiding in her missions.
