Bab 1586: Knowing the place

Hao Xuan was caught so off guard by a girl half his size that he was at a complete loss for words.

She had no spiritual energy of her own, no signs of any special bloodlines or other unique powers, no magic to speak of, and yet, there was an odd aura about her person that made her appear 'unordinary' in his eyes.

"You are...a strange person," he commented without thinking, garnering a satisfied nod from Lady Yuki.

"Thank you."

"That wasn't a complim-"

*Knock*knock*knock*

Their interaction was cut short when the knocks sounded from the other side.

Hao Xuan let out a deep breath while flexing his arms, "If there is a fight try to run straight out and don't ever come back. And if there isn't- just follow along with whatever I say."

She looked him up and down, making a side note of the poised manner with which he handled himself.

'It is not often a slave is so....confident in their abilities. What is his background? Does he work for the inn?' she wondered.
