After watching her Master disappear down the academy halls, Liu Mei stood quietly for a moment, the soft breeze teasing the edges of her robes.
And then without hesitation, she turned and decided to leave the school grounds and look for her junior brother.
The streets beyond the academy bustled with life, but Liu Mei moved through the crowd like a silent current beneath a noisy river.
Soon, she arrived before a luxurious weapon shop. Massive in size, the building was a giant pagoda.
Its exotic sign outside reads 'Tang Weapon Pyramid.'
Without breaking stride, Liu Mei pushed the door open, a soft chime announcing her entrance.
Rows upon rows of glittering swords, racks of gleaming spears, intricate crossbows, and all manner of exotic weaponry filled the space.
A soft hum of chatter and the clinking of steel filled the air as cultivators and merchants bustled from counter to counter, bargaining and boasting.
Liu Mei's entrance barely caused a ripple in the busy atmosphere.
