The First Day, Part IV

Wu Meiying hadn’t been paying any attention to the people or the fight between Sui Kingdom and Song Country. She didn’t care about these people. Their plights, aspirations, and struggles meant nothing to her. Just like she meant nothing to them. Her eyes had been locked onto Wu Jian the entire time. He didn’t seem to have noticed, but she’d been watching him ever since she first appeared in the arena.

That girl he is with is… Mei Xilan. I see. She has a few paths open to her, but only one of them will lead her to where she wants to go. I wonder if she’ll take it? Hmmm? It seems there is one path that I cannot see. Wu Jian must somehow be involved in that path. That’s not good. I cannot see his future, and he has so many. It will be hard to predict what will happen if she chooses any path that involves him.

“That Xaio Shui boy is quite talented,” said Shui Meili.

“Are you interested in making him a part of Supreme Ocean Palace?” asked Zhou Xie’e.
