CHAPTER64

(Jinyang invites both of them to her house.)

JINYANG

Make sure you take off your shoes when you get in. I just had the house cleaned.

MIST

Sure.

(Mist, Senka and Sanya take off their shoes.)

SANYA

This is a nice home.

SENKA

Yeah. It must be comfortable.

JINYANG

Have a seat. Tingyao, bring in the tea and the snacks!

TINGYAO

Yes, Jinyang!

(She rushes in holding some cups of tea and some snacks, Mist, Senka and Sanya are shocked to see her.)

MIST

Wait, you’re the girl we met at that port!

SENKA

What are you doing here?

SANYA

She must be everywhere.

JINYANG

Oh, so you’ve met Tingyao before. She’s my apprentice.

TINGYAO

That’s right. Jinyang is my master.

JINYANG

I told you to call me Master.

(She bumps her head.)

TINGYAO

Ouch, that hurts Jinyang!

JINYANG

This girl wants another beating!

TINGYAO

Hey, where’s the handsome white haired man? How comes he’s not with you?

MIST

Oh he went to meet a kin of his.

TINGYAO
