77 Greetings. (1/2)

*WANGGG*

In front of Su Min who stood without expression, a towering gate opened in a flash of light. A constant and striking creak blew sibilant air, and as it opened, a booming voice resounded into his ears.

”We've been expecting you. So welcome to the Divine Sect!”

Wu Miang frowned as she found that noise to be rather irritating, though it didn't last long as that booming voice caused her thoughts to pause.

'Powerful!'

Her face got tinged with a slight paleness as a faint aura billowed onto her. She doesn't know who these people are, what they want, and why they are even taking her in. Her master sorted all this out, but now that he is gone, a feeling of unsafeness seemed to want to swallow her whole...

”You just going to stand here?”

Su Min grumbled as he nudged Wu Miang out of her dazed expression.

”W-... No...”

She didn't know what to say and could only walk forward with Su Min, who was yawning.

'He doesn't feel anything..?'

It was rather perplexing to not be tense at the moment of entering an unknown, a thing you'd naturally fear. But, as she gazed at his eyes, they didn't quiver, shake. No, they stood still; like a listless lake...

But, nevertheless, this somehow made her a feel a tad more relaxed.

”So you must be the All-powerful Overseer's daughter?”

Though that voice once again resounded as a simple dirt plain revealed itself. Su Min halted with a sudden pause, causing Wu Miang to bump into him.

*THUD*

”Hey..?”

She was about to say something, but she stopped as she watched Su Min's eyes narrow, causing the air to chill. She was attentive to people's eyes, unnaturally so.

Of course, she knew that the eyes of a person told a lot more than most would believe... One of desire, emotion, and power.

A man soon revealed himself and smiled as he gazed at Su Min and Wu Miang. He wore an elegant demeanour with his handsome face and pristine shirt. The only word that could describe him would be a fine gentleman.

He paused as he saw Su Min, and eventually asked.

”And you're..?”

Su Min's eyes blazed a silent light as he spoke, examining this gentleman.

”I'm Su Min, Miss Wu Miang's guard sent by the overseer. I'm sorry, but I'll be in your care for the foreseeable future...”

Su Min, however, removed such a gaze as he smiled before shaking the man's hand. The man smiled as well as the air seemed to tighten around them for a second; like a bomb was going to explode.

”Nice to meet you, Su Min. I am Shen He and I hope that you enjoy your stay...”

Shen Hu laughed as he shook Su Min's hand in a tight grasp that seemed a little too powerful. Su Min frowned and hardened his own grasp as a dull pop thundered out of their palms.

Shen Hu face turned a light pale as he quickly withdrew his own palm and shook it a bit.

”You sure have a tight grip, hahaha...”

'What is this atmosphere..?'

Wu Miang shivered as she felt a strange feeling shroud her, but this soon faded out of existence as Su Min returned to her side with a blank expression.

Shen Hu's face, still remaining all smiles, turned to Wu Miang.

”My... You sure are as beautiful as the rumours stated!”

His eyes seemed to burn with a faint desire as Wu Miang went a little white. Su Min seemed to notice this as a flashing thought entered his head.

'He aggravates me...'

Shen Hu then strolled up to Wu Miang and kneeled down, gesturing for her hand. Wu Miang paused for a second as her face grew uncomfortable, but she eventually lifted her palm.

He caressed her palm, and in a pause, he kissed it. He stood back up, then bowed.

”It's my pleasure to be at your service, Miss.”
