One Against Five

Within the crowd was Fei Xian, Rou'er, and Qi Yao, the former two were intrigued by Elder Jia's words while Qi Yao fidgeted around. Her eyes kept darting between the elder and the doors leading out to the sect grounds. The three of them sat in the back, closest to the doors.

"Qi Yao, is there something wrong? You don't look very well." 

Fei Xian noticed her nervousness.

"No, it's nothing. I'm just feeling a bit tired today. Let's just finish listening to the elder."

She reassured up, keeping up a smile but it was not enough to convince him. 

"Are you sure? I think that It would be better to leave and I'm sure Ming Yue could help look after you."

Just as he was about to stand, Qi Yao grabbed his sleeve, keeping him seated. 

"When the time comes, I need you to help me lead the disciples away."

Her face was serious and her tone quiet but urgent. 

"Wha-what do you mean? Is there something happening?"
