Hao Xuan couldn't find the appropriate words to tell him what happened. As far as he knew, Third, Fifth and Seventh had been captains in the Red Legion the longest, even before First came along.
They all trained together and fought together in the camps and on the battlefields, finally being able to pass the tests and become captains simultaneously. So naturally, they were very close to one another.
"Third brother...Fifth sister...she.."
"Oh, hahaha the news got out already huh? How did you find out? Was it Seventh?" his hearty laugh rang in Hao Xuan's ears like thunder. He was completely baffled by Third's reply.
'Why was he laughing? He knows already?'
"Third brother...you.."
How does one go about asking something like this?
Third froze mid laughter upon hearing Hao Xuan's somber tone.
"Ah, I'm sorry Ninth Brother, I didn't think about you guys. It all just happened so quickly, I didn't have time to tell anyone really," he sounded quite apologetic.
".....?"
