The Order

Alex was a little bummed that Hao Ya didn't want to talk about her master at all. Until she got permission from him, she wouldn't say anything about him to Alex at all.

As for his Clone, she didn't seem to know much about him, so Alex didn't bother asking anymore. He would meet him and Pearl when he returned.

"Don't worry about Master," Hao Ya said. "He's too interested in your body constitution to not give you the time of the day. Besides, there are other reasons why he will have to let you see him."

"Other reasons? Like what?" Alex asked.

Hao Ya was about to answer but stopped. Instead, she put on a smug smile on her face. "What's the hurry? Just sit around, everything will be clear in time," she said. "Now, tell me what you are doing here when I made it very clear last time that you had to wait around in the Western Continent. What would we do if you had died?"

"We? Does your master care if we live or die?" Alex asked.
