In the early morning, outside the Secret Guardians Hall, two young secret guardians stood majestically next to the two big stone lions. They had their hands firmly wrapped around their saber hilts as if they were ready to unsheathe them at any moment. Their eyes had a ferocious intensity and they looked very intimidating.
Chu Li was donned in a long white robe. He stepped in front of them slowly and calmly.
The two young secret guardians were overjoyed when they saw Chu Li. They rushed forward, each holding a fist salute. "Centurion Chu!"
Chu Li waved his hand in reply. "I'm no longer a centurion now, so don't need to call me that."
"Please come in, Centurion Chu!" The two laughed.
Chu Li said, "Better go and notify them. I wish to see the Commander."
"No need. You're not an outsider, Centurion Chu. Just go straight in."
