Yao Yue stretched as she walked out of the lesson hall. Although the class was about two hours long, she had fun listening to the history of the Tian Sect and about its first sect leader Tian WuLai.
"What is Sect Leader Tian thinking, letting a member of the Mo Sect listen to the lessons here?" she heard a young woman from the Feng Sect say to another woman from the Yang Sect.
"I know," the other woman agreed. "Although they've laid dormant for so many years, who knows what they've been planning. Maybe that Yao woman is a spy for the Mo Sect."
Another woman from the Yang Sect joined in, "No matter the case, we should be weary of her. She's bad news."
"Don't...don't...don't listen to...to them speak...speak nonsense!" a young man from the Huo Sect said to Yao Yue as he walked next to her.
She raised an eyebrow. "Are you not scared of me?"
He shook his head. "On...on the contrary I...i think you're....you're pretty cool!" he then bowed his head in greeting. "I...i'm Huo Ping of...of the Huo Sect."
"Yao Yue of the Mo Sect, nice to meet you."
Huo Ping opened his mouth to say something back when an angry voice called his name.
"Huo Ping, what on earth are you doing!" a young man with similar features to Huo Ping yelled. "Get back here!"
Huo Ping looked back at the caller, before bowing his head towards Yao Yue. "My...my apologies, my brother...brother calls me."
She nodded as he hurried off to where his brother was, who slapped him in the head. Yao Yue watched as Huo Ping's brother berated him, probably telling Huo Ping to stay away from Yao Yue as far as possible. She sighed thinking, there goes another chance of befriending someone.
"Can you move, you're blocking the path." a cold voice behind her said, interrupting her thoughts.
Yao Yue immediately got out of the way and turned to see who it was. A young man of the Tian Sect walked by without giving her another glance. Despite the cold look on his face, Yao Yue noticed his familiar warm eyes. Almost as if she knew him or someone related to him.
"Excuse me," Yao Yue called. "Could you happen to be related to someone of the Mo Sect?"
The young man stopped before sending a glare towards her. "What nonsense are you spouting on about."
"Your eyes-" she then stopped. "Sorry, forget I said anything."
Yao Yue turned away and began walking off, slightly embarrassed. Off in the distance, she saw Yun Jin at which she smiled.
"Childe Yun!" she called, walking over.
Hearing her voice, he immediately began walking away from her. Yao Yue frowned at his response, before coming up with a quick idea.
"Childe Yun, wait for me! I need help!"
He didn't show any acknowledgement that he had heard her and continued to walk even faster.
"If you don't help me, you're breaking rule 105!"
That caused him to stop, allowing Yao Yue to finally catch up to him.
Yun Jin slowly turned around to face her. "Miss Yao, how may I help you?"
"Well since I just arrived," she nervously rubbed the back of her neck with a smile. "Could you please show me where the dormitories are?"
He nodded his head. "Come with me then."
"Thanks so much!"
They began walking off together side by side, when Yao Yue saw the young man from the Tian Sect that she had spoken to earlier.
"Childe Yun, who is that?"
He turned his head. "That's Tian Ying, son of our Sect Leader Tian QiuYan."
Yao Yue caught Tian Ying's eye, causing her to smile at him while he just glared at her.
"Miss Yao, did you do something to piss him off?" Yun Jin asked, noticing his glare.
She laughed, scratching her face nervously. "I may have asked him if he was related to someone of the Mo Sect."
He immediately froze, before turning around in fear. "What...what did you ask him?" Yun Jin asked nervously.
Noticing this Yao Yue asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"No, no, not at all." he shook his head before he continued walking. "Why did you ask him?"
Yao Yue watched his eyes carefully. "I don't know," she shrugged, "I felt that his eyes were familiar. Do you know anything about-"
"No...not at all! I don't...don't know anything about...about-"
"There you are, Yun Jin!"
Both he and Yao Yue turned to see Bai Lei jogging over, panting.
"We still have to do that thing, remember?" Bai Lei reminded, grabbing Yun Jin's arm.
A struck of realization hit him as Yun Jin nodded. "Let's go, shixiong." he quickly turned to look at Yao Yue. "My apologies, Miss Yao. The dormitories are up ahead. Just keep straight and you'll see it."
"Thank you-"
Before she could finish, both Yun Jin and Bai Lei hurried off. Yao Yue frowned at their actions. What could it be that was so important? she wondered.
Before she began to head off in the direction of the dormitories she heard Yun Jin say, "Thanks so much, shixiong. If you had arrived any later, I would have-"
"Don't say it, we're not out of ears distance yet."
Yao Yue smiled. "I guess there is something connecting that Tian Ying to the Mo Sect." she paused. "I can't wait to find out what that is. After all, nothing can escape the eyes of the Mo Sect."
