A few minutes later, Xuan was taken to what looked like a private office. Judging by the way Elder Shuang acted around it, it was safe to assume this was her home.
"This is where Yuxin stayed all this time?" Xuan asked, looking around. "Why isn't she with the other disciples of the sect?"
"Well… y'know. Her circumstances are… somewhat special," Elder Shuang replied. "She won't be a permanent disciple here, and so I took her in under the name of my direct student."
'Ah,' Xuan thought. 'No wonder she's living in her house…'
Elder Shuang walked up to the doors leading into the room and gently pushed them open.
"Yuxin, sir Xuan is here to see y-"
And at that moment, from the dimly-lit shadows came flying an arrow. It breezed past Elder Shuang's head, freezing her in place, and soared straight towards its target: Xuan's chest.
Too bad a trick like this was never going to work on someone as experienced as Zero.
"… Hmph. Futile."
