Rén Xuě, Part II

“Hooo? Sui Mei Xilan… I had heard you were traveling to the Sui Kingdom, though I had not realized you had already arrived,” Rén Xuě said. He studied her, unbothered by her beauty. The look in his eyes as he surveyed her from head to toe seemed more like a warrior trying to measure up a potential enemy.

Mei Xilan stepped forward and offered the man a martial bow. “Greetings, I am Mei Xilan Sui. It is a pleasure to meet you.”

“So you’re Sui Mei Xilan…” He paused. “You are quite strong. That is good. Your strength will come in handy in our fight against the Undying Sun Sect. Perhaps you can atone for the sins your parents committed when they allowed their country to be taken over.”

“Excuse me?” asked Mei Xilan, her eyes narrowed.

“Zh-Zh-Zhǐhuīguān Rén Xuě?!” Liang Wei looked startled at the vitriol in the man’s voice.
