Back in the small village, Hua Xiong took Ming Yue to her personal home. A small hut that had little interesting features but there was a sense of warmth to it.
The two both sat in front of each other, drinking tea from wood cups as Ming Yue retold the entire ordeal to Hua Xiong. From finding her at the Violet Sun Sect to watching her falling body. Her face barely changed as she listened to Ming Yue's story.
Hua Xiong just listened. She listened to every word and when Ming Yue was done, she was silent. Her eyes moistened as she processed through it all.
Ming Yue could see that, the river or emotions running through her comrade.
"I'll be outside, I'm going to speak with the Elder."
Standing up, she walked towards the door before turning back to Hua Xiong, trying her best to hold the tears.
"He'll be inside his hut..." she spoke softly, her voice trembling ever so little.
Ming Yue nodded and left.
