Reunion

“Listen Zheng Jun; I understand that you are a guard but can’t you at least tell us why you are in such a hurry to arrive at the gates? Who is this mysterious guest?” an upset voice could be heard approaching from inside the academy. It was a voice Hui Yue would recognize anywhere. This caused the smile on his face to brighten even more, and Cai Jie’s face turned interested as he, too, heard the voice. His eyes left Hui Yue and looked toward the voices.

“I really don’t see why they are stressing us like this,” another voice joined in. This voice was as gentle as a summer breeze and was a voice which, like the other, Hui Yue would recognize anywhere. The sound of steps came closer and closer, and Hui Yue could guess that they were moving on the other side of the wall. Within moments they would reach the gate, and when they did, he could only imagine their stunned expressions.
