Gu Yue was sitting down on her bed, staring off to the distance and she then flicked her hands causing a silver color to appear in her room. It was then from behind her a figure instantly appeared without any noise.
It was a man whose entire body was enshrouded by a black cloak, as he was kneeling behind her.
"Young miss, we lost sight of Tang Wulin and Na'er when they were in the city next to Shrek." Announced the man in black.
"How?" Asked Gu Yue.
"We don't know exactly. All we know is they kept entering and leaving different buildings before they never left one of them." Said the man causing Gu Yue to narrow her eyes.
'I can still feel the connection between me and Na'er. So they shouldn't be in trouble, although I don't relish the fact she is with him.' Thought Gu Yue.
"My lady, are we really not going to do anything to the boy? With his blood you could-"
"That is enough." Gu Yue said coldly. Her eyes flash and turned into purple slits. The man didn't say anything more as he stood behind Gu Yue as if waiting for her order.
"I will deal with Tang Wulin, you just focus on finding the land." Said Gu Yue.
"Is there a particular reason for this miss?" Asked the man.
"I didn't ask for your opinion." Said Gu Yue.
The man nodded his head and got up to leave. She gently waved her right arm, and the silver color within her room silently disappeared. She went to the window and gently pushed it open.
'You better not let anything happen to you. After all, you promise me.' Gu Yue thought softly. She was looking out the window as the sun was beginning to rise and shined dazzlingly on her face.
Knock!
Gu Yue turned her head and went to go open to door, surprise to discover Xu Xiaoyan knocking on her door.
"Gu Yue let's go out to eat." Said Xu Xiaoyan with a big smile on her face. Gu Yue thought about it and then nodded her head, as she followed Xu Xiaoyan as they begin to walk leisurely through Star Luo City.
Xu Xiaoyan has been doing this lately, dragging Gu Yue to check out different places since they were on the ship. Gu Yue asks her why and Xu Xiaoyan said it was because Gu Yue need to relax a little.
Both of them were walking through the street and checking out the shops. It was then that they saw Ye Xinglan and Wu Siduo together walking around together.
"Hey, guys!" Xu Xiaoyan yelled out causing both of them to turn toward her and smile.
"What are you guys doing now?" Asked Xu Xiaoyan as she and Gu Yue headed toward them.
"Nothing much, we're just checking out the city." Said Ye Xinglan, while Wu Siduo merely nodded along with her.
"Find anything interesting?" Asked Xu Xiaoyan.
"Sadly no." Said Wu Sidou.
"Hey let's go find something to eat." Said Xu Xiaoyan.
Everyone agreed as they begin to follow her lead. They were walking for a while, trying to find a nice place that had multiple seats, so they could all sit together.
"Isn't that Mu Xi and Yuanen Yehui." Said Wu Siduo, as she pointed them out.
Everyone turns their heads to where Wu Siduo was pointing at. Mu Xi and Yuanen Yehui were sitting down around a table with multiple chairs.
The table was under a white umbrella that was obscuring the sun and they both were eating ice cream.
"Seniors!" Mu Xi and Yuanen Yehui turned their head to see Xu Xiaoyan waving at them. They saw her with Wu Siduo, Ye Xinglan, and Gu Yue who were approaching them.
"My cute junior!" Said Mu Xi as she got up from the table to go hug Xu Xiaoyan.
Mu Xi was a part of the exchange program because of her blacksmith status and her master wanted her to spar against Star Luo blacksmiths.
Everyone but Mu Xi and Yuanen went to go get ice cream and sit down together. They were doing some small talk while enjoying the shade.
"So what did you guys think about Banquet?" Said Xu Xiaoyan with a cheerful smile.
"Pretty boring." Said Ye Xinglan, as she felt she squandered her time going there.
"You aren't wrong, it was fun to dress up though." Said Mu Xi, as she fondly remembers her vermillion dress.
"Not really." Said Ye Xinglan.
"Oh, come on. Don't tell me you didn't feel good dressing up in your dark green dress." Said Mu Xi as she accurately recalls many people falling instantly for her remarkable looks and ice demeanor.
"No." Said Ye Xinglan with a straight face, causing Mu Xi to roll her eyes.
"How about my little junior, how did it feel to capture all those youths' hearts." Said Mu Xi with a mischievous smile.
"Huh! What are you talking about?" Said Xu Xiaoyan with a blush on her face, causing Mu Xi to smile even wider.
"Oh, I don't know, about that white gown you wore. That somehow coincidentally matches Yue Zhengyu's clothing." Said Mu Xi.
"You are overthinking it." Said Xu Xiaoyan with her lips twitching.
"Ok~. Now, how about you Wu Siduo." Said Mu Xi as she instantly changed her target to Wu Siduo whose lips twitched.
"No." Said Wu Siduo as she glared fiercely at Mu Xi, who disregard it.
"Pretty daring young lady, wearing that black and gold dress. Don't tell me you didn't notice how some of those boys were staring at those lovely legs of yours." Siad Mu Xi, causing Wu Siduo's face to turn red as the second passed.
"Too bad you didn't wear a dress Yuanen." Said Mu Xi as she pouted at her business partner. Yuanen Yehui rolled her eyes but didn't say anything.
"Why didn't you go Gu Yue?" Asked Mu Xi, as she was surprised that Gu Yue didn't attend.
Everyone turns their head to Gu Yue, but she didn't say anything as she continued eating her ice cream.
"It's probably because Tang Wulin wasn't there." Said Yuanen Yehui as she went back to eating her ice cream.
She didn't notice her comment, causing all the girls around her to blush. Gu Yue stopped eating her ice cream and glared fiercely at Yuanen Yehui, who merely look back up.
"What? You know it's true."Said Yuanen Yehui.
"Still, I wonder what Tang Wulin would look like in a suite." Said Yuanen Yehui, as she begins imagining him in a suit and going to the banquet.
Her words caused everyone around her to stop and start thinking about Tang Wulin's dress-up, with him dancing with them. This caused them to unconsciously sport a pleasant smile and blush.
"They said he was with Na'er his sister, when they last, saw him?" Asked Yuanen Yehui and everyone gave her a nod. Unbeknownst to Yuanen, everyone around was thinking about the same thing.
'That should be me with him?!'
They were pretty jealous Na'er was with Tang Wulin, even if she was his sister. While Gu Yue eyebrow kept twitching every time she was reminded of it.
"Well about you and Xie Xie?" Said Gu Yue with a slight smirk.
"Where are you going with this?" Said Yuanen Yehui as she narrowed her eyes at Gu Yue. Her name and Xie Xie should never be in the same sentence as far as she was concerned.
"Don't tell you me actually cared about events like these? I'm sure you went because you wanted to see him dress up." Said Gu Yue as her smirk grew, as she watches Yuanen Yehui clench her fist and teeth.
"Oh! You better not go there." Said Yuanen Yehui, as Gu Yue showed her a mocking smile.
"Hahaha."
Yuanen Yehui and Gu Yue stop to turn to Xu Xiaoyan laughing merrily at them while sending her a questioning glance.
"I'm sorry, it's just that it's pretty funny with all of us here. I wish we could do this more often." Said Xu Xiaoyan.
"That is true." Said Mu Xi with a pleasant smile but then she thought of something.
"Since we're talking about guys, about we talk about that playboy Yue Zhengyu." Said Mu Xi
The girl dissolved into lively small talk with even Gu Yue joining in. If one didn't know any better, they look like a normal group of friends meeting up and having fun.
"Yuanen!" A familiar voice shouted out. Everyone but Yuanen Yehui turned their head to see Xie Xie running toward them and he wasn't alone.
Xu Lizhi and Yue Zhengyu were with him as they followed behind him. Gu Yue turns to Yuanen Yehui with a charming smile on her face.
"Be quiet you." Said Yuanen Yehui, as she saw Xie Xie approach her. Everyone watched as Yuanen Yehui was ignored everything Xie Xie said and yet Xie Xie didn't stop talking.
Everybody laughs at them, as the boys went to go get some chairs and sit down with the girl. After a while, everyone sat down and enjoy themselves.
BOOM!
They all look up and saw lightning storms coming toward Star Luo City. Then they all look up in surprise as they saw a lightning bolt shooting straight down from the clouds.
"How much you all want to bet that is our captain?"
#
The lightning bolt hit in the middle of the street and then two figures can be seen. It was an incredibly handsome male and a beautiful silver hair maiden. Tang Wulin blinks his eyes and saw that Na'er was resting her head on his chest.
"I guess we're here." Said Tang Wulin, causing Na'er to open her eyes and look all around her.
"Wow, so this is Star Luo continent huh." Said Na'er.
Both of them didn't notice or care that the people surrounding them was staring at them in shock.
"Tang Tang and Na'er?" A familiar voice resounded out.
Tang Wulin turns his head in the direction of the voice. He saw his Mother and Dad standing in front of a food stall.
Lang Yue's eyes shimmer with passionate tears as she saw her little Tang Tang holding on to her little girl Na'er. She instantly rushed toward them and enveloped them in a hug.
"My beloved babies! Mommy misses you guys."Lang Yue cried passionately as she kept on holding them. Na'er eyes began to swell with tears as she realizes she hasn't seen her mother in over six years.
"Mom! Dad!"Na'er screamed as she begins to rub her head into Lang Yue's embrace. Tang Ziran smiled as he began to walk over and brought them into a hug.
It has been six years since they were all separated. Six years since they went their separate ways. Yet even in those six years they never once stop dearly missing each other.
"Boss!"
"Wulin!"
"Captain!"
Everyone turns their heads to see a group of people running towards them. Tang Ziran turned his head to Tang Wulin.
"Tang Tang, who are these people?"
"They are my friends, Dad." Said Tang Wulin, causing everyone to be genuinely shocked.
Tang Wulin group felt shocked because this was the first time Tang Wulin as ever acknowledged them as his friends. After hearing him say it, they all felt pride and unspeakable joy.
Tang Ziran and Lang Yue were at first surprised but then begin smiling tenderly as one of their wishes finally came through.
'Our beloved son finally found people to call friends.'
"Stupid boss!"
"This won't make up."
"For making us wait!"
Xie Xie, Gu Yue, Xu Xiaoyan, Yuanen Yehui, Yue Zhengyu, Mu Xi, and Wu Siduo all dog-piled on him with wide grins on their face. Ignoring Tang Wulin's comment about them being annoying and to get off.
"Hello Wulin parents, I'm his best friend Xie Xie." Said Xie Xie as he got up from the dogpile and went to go properly introduce himself. He was then kicked down from behind as everyone but Tang Wulin had their feet out.
"When did you become his best friend!" Everyone's voices rang out, causing Na'er, Lang Yue, and Tang Ziran to laugh at the scene in front of them.
Tang Ziran and Lang Yue look at the group in front of them.
A memory of Tang Wulin standing alone as he walks home. Then another memory of him walking home with Na'er and now this scene of him surrounded by people who wanted to be with him.
They were grateful to these people because their dear son wasn't alone anymore.
