Wudu Palace

" YueYue ! You are back !" Yìfēi exclaimed excitedly, Water Master didn't reply but rather tired, " Why did Jun Wu call ?" she inquired curiously

ShuîYuê tossed her the scroll, which Yìfēi caught easily, skimming through it, she put it aside, " He wants you to go through the funding," she stated simply, ShuîYuê nodded her head, thinking about Ghost King and the strange interaction among them,

" What are you thinking about ?" Yìfēi asked bored, noticing the blank look on her best friend's face,

" Nothing," ShuîYuê said before leaving to shower .

The next few days ShuîYuê's luck seemed to work like a charm she didn't have to report to Jun Wu as she was busy with work, but today once again her luck turned around as Jun Wu summoned her to the Central Palace late in the morning,

She was walking through the palace, minding her own business when she saw Earth Master on the floor, She was clutching her feet in pain ShuîYuê ran to her, " Earth Master ! Are you okay ? " she asked, worried

" I am fine," Shù Zìrán replied, trying to get up, but failed as she fell on the floor once again,

" Let me see," ShuîYuê told, looking at her feet, " It's sprained," she informed, looking at Earth Master who was staring at her,

" I- I am fine," Shù Zìrán muttered stubbornly,

" Earth Master please understand that you are hurt," ShuîYuê replied firmly, " I'll take you to the doctor," she added trying to help her up but failing terribly, well what would it look like if a five foot one inch person tried to pick a five foot ten inch one. Embarrassed ShuîYuê looked around for help when she saw Ghost King walking to the other corridor,

" Excuse me !" she shouted, Chéng Huá turned around and walked in her direction, pleased to see her again. He had to make friends with her after all,

" Please help me take Earth Master to the doctor," she requested, pointing to Shù Zìrán who sat on the floor holding her feet .

Ghost King walked back with her to Earth Master. He crouched down and examined her foot, " It's sprained badly," he told

As he was about to pick her up Earth Master held up her hand to stop Ghost King, " I need to deliver these to his Majesty urgently," she mentioned, pointing to the scrolls laying on the floor,

ShuîYuê picked them up one by one, stacking them, there were too many scrolls, Most of them kept falling as she picked them up, she still couldn't use her right hand for weight more than it could carry, her wrist bone was recovering slowly,
Ghost King helped her to stack them, she finally managed to get up from the floor but her hand hurt too much, she could still not pick up heavy things and even though the scrolls were light they were too many as her hand wobbled Ghost King supported her right hand with his own, she felt a weird fluttery feeling in her stomach at his touch,
