Hong Zhao sat in the lotus position for longer than he could tell, slowly circulating the qi stone. As he did, Shadow stayed on alert next to the door. He knew that no one would cause trouble for his master, but that didn't mean they couldn't disturb him either. In case the Li siblings were to walk in on him cultivating, Hong Zhao had given two of these precious stones to his panther friend to give to them.
"Hong Zhao, are you asleep?" A small voice belonging to Li Wei sounded from outside the door. When no one answered back, Shadow watched as the door slowly crept open. Li Wei was in her usual town clothes, having needed a break from her dark qi blocking uniform Hong Zhao had given her. When she peered in, she saw a set of large green glowing eyes set on her. "Shadow?" She said uncertainly.
