By the time both Zhao Tian and Yao Jing reached the sect, it was already pretty late at night.
As the cool night air brushed through her face, Yao Jing smiled faintly "Let's go and meet the Sect master."
Zhao Tian frowned slightly at her words, glancing at the dimly lit sect grounds. "But it's already so late. Wouldn't it be better to wait until morning?"
Yao Jing shook her head "This matter is of utmost importance; not only the Mother Stone... the Fallen Mandate is also involved with this."
*woosh* The two of them quickly dashed toward the center of the Sect, to the private quarters of the Sect master of Jade Eclipse Sect.
Landing in the courtyard, Zhao Tian looked around and it was eerily silent, only the cold wind howling in the air.
"Let's go..."
Zhao Tian expected the Sect Master's private space to be grand, but it was a simple, cozy building amidst a little garden.
Walking to the front door of the room, Yao Jing knocked on the door "Sister Shuang, it's me.. Jing'er."
...
A beautiful woman was sitting on the edge of her bed, her fingers gripping a book in her hand, her purple hair tied into a loose bun. with a few strands cascading down the side of her face, framing her delicate features.
Her purple eyes scanned through the book, reading it.
She is wearing a black nightdress, sticking to her skin, accentuating her curves and her bountiful bosom.
As she turned a page, a faint knock echoed from the door, and her lips curved into a small, knowing smile as she recognized the voice. "Jing'er?" she murmured softly.
Placing the book on the bedside table, Ji Shuang gracefully rose from her bed.
Barefoot, she moved toward the front door, her steps making no sound against the wooden floor.
She adjusted her robe slightly, the black silk flowing around her like a liquid shadow as she approached the door.
Pulling it open, she was greeted by the sight of Yao Jing and Zhao Tian standing in the cool night air.
H-HUH?!
She looked down at herself, the thin material of her dress doing nothing to conceal her figure. Her cheeks burned as she thought back to the way his gaze had lingered on her chest.
She grumbled to herself, poking at her own curves with disdain. "And these lumps of fat! He must think I'm some indecent woman showing off like this..."
Ji Shuang groaned and flopped onto her bed, pulling a pillow over her face "My image as a cold and scary Sect Master I wanted to show in front of him.. is ruined."
...
A few minutes later, the door opened and Zhao Tian glanced at the woman wearing a normal robes as she had an indifferent expression on her face and her chest also looks smaller now.
"Come in, Jing'er... Zhao Tian."
Hm? Zhao Tian's eyes narrowed. 'She knows my name? Maybe Yao Jing already told her about me? They seem very close.'
Zhao Tian and Yao Jing entered the small hall and Ji Shuang pointed at the couch "Sit, both of you."
With a nod, Zhao Tian and Yao Jing sat opposite Ji Shuang with a short table in between them.
A slight frown crept over Ji Shuang's face as she asked in a cool tone "So, what is the reason for you to meet me at this time with your disciple?"
Yao Jing smiled softly and gestured to Zhao Tian "Before that, let me formally introduce my disciple, Zhao Tian."
"I already told you, right? I accepted a new disciple."
Ji Shuang nodded faintly "Hm. I am happy for you, after all these years, you finally managed to get a disciple who is exceptionally talented in Alchemy."
"Hehehe..."
Giggling, Yao Jing raised her chest proudly "Of course."
Ji Shuang's eyes softened to see the always smiling woman and asked "And the reason for you to visit me? I am sure it's not just to introduce your disciple."
Yao Jing shook her head, a serious expression forming on her face "No, Sister Shuang."
