*I feel a migraine coming on. My God! The stress levels are over nine thousand.
HaRui's eyes narrowed, staring into Xuanmei's onyx black ones.
Sighing, he sat down on the chair near the counter where the rabbit was placed. He stroked the rabbit gingerly, looking at Xuanmei.
"Let me guess, you're going to look for the meriandem in this school."
"Apparently so..."
"You trust very easily. What if I wanted to stop you from getting it?"
"Yeah, I do. Especially when someone who wants to stop me totally puts the effort to hear me out before I get to feel a sword against my throat."
"Fair enough. Hey, what for do you want it?"
"So that I can improve my cultivation, or to sell it."
HaRui shrugged, "Suit yourself. Anyway, Xuanmei, right? YuLing has asked me to give you cultivation pills."
"YuLing?"
"Yu."
"Oh. Okay."
"Well, I guess I'm going to die by Yu's hands then, because I thought you'd have already known her name, but apparently not. Oops."
"Anyway, feel free to use them anytime. You have a storage gem, right?"
Xuanmei nodded as she reached into her long sleeves, pretending to search for something as she focused and brought out her storage gem from the Pagoda.
She had done it so many times now it was almost deemed to her almost as if it were second nature.
"You don't have to pretend. I know you have a coloured Pagoda. Either way, I shall hand these pills to you. Please take care of them and place them in somewhere you would normally check in every few days."
Xuanmei muttered a sound of understanding as she took the pills from HaRui.
"The white pills are level one cultivation pills, the Ivory ones are level two ones and the silver ones are level three cultivation pills. Understood?"(A: Geez, I kept writing 'level tree' for some reason)
Xuanmei shrugged just as YuXuan came back, panting heavily.
"I got the ke... You guys are still talking?"
"Nah. It's just another one YuLing picked up."
"Oh, Liu YuLing, the one with, like, ten guardians?"
"Yeah, that one."
"Oh. Well, okay. Welcome to the team!"
(A: For your information, Liu Yuxuan and Liu YuLing's surname pronunciations are different. They are from different families.)
"Are you two here for the Meriandem too?"
HaRui and Yuxuan looked at each other.
"No. Unfortunately, even though the other two members, our roomates, are with us, I am sad to say that there are also other factions here, searching for the Meriandem."
"In fact, it's our job to get to it first."
"Why do you guys work under Yu?"
"Work under? Nah. We're just helping out an old friend."
*I almost didn't finish this chapter, my gosh! It was like ten at night and I still had homework and I was about to start begging my phone for a text to speech app but I eventually gave up and wrote it all by hand. My fingers are, like, really tired and sore by now, like ugh.
