"Let's go now, Hua. One box of pearls should be able to earn us one hundred gold in the capital city," said Xi Shi as she held a box tightly close to her chest while grinning from ear to ear.
"How do we get there though? We aren't celebrating a special occasion in the sect, so I don't think we would be allowed to go out," I said with my brows raised at her.
"That's why I have my flying sword. We can go through the sect river. We don't have to face the guards at the Mount Hua sect gate," replied Xi Shi as she drew out her sword.
"Oh, I see. Let's go then. I need a break from these daily dramas in Mount Hua too," I said and stood up to follow her.

"That's the sound of the bell indicating an urgent matter," said Xi Shi just as we were about to cross the door.
"What urgent matter?" I asked with a confused expression.
