Knock.......knock knock
The door opened without slight hesitation
"ahh welcome to- oh Mr. Adepti what has brought you to my parlour"
"um is there a morax here?"
"hah aren't you a funny one"
"I think you mean Mr. Zhongli"
Zhongli? Is that what he change his name to?
"oh um yes..."
"Alright follow me..."
I followed the weirdo through the hallway till we reach a spiral staircase
"Mr. Zhongli is just down here"
"right."
"Anyways... Totaloo"
I headed down the stairs thinking about what I would say to him or what would do. What do I even do if that girl was lying and I'm just about to barge in on a human?
Though here I am standing in front of so-called morax's office door
I knock on the door
"Come in"
I jumped back slightly at the sudden voice
Was it really him?
My hand slightly shook as I turned to doorknob opening the door slowly
I entered the room wanting to look up at the figure but my eyes stayed glued to the floor
"Ah xiao I was wondering when you would show up"
My eyes shot up staring at the man
I wanted to scream
I wanted to yell
But the only thing that came out of my mouth was
"Why?"
"Xiao you know why"
And that's the thing I did know but I wanted to hear it from him
"Have I failed?"
"Xiao..."
"I knew it, I'm not good enough to be called an adepti"
"xiao im concerned about what is making you think this"
"from that adepti"
"oh xiao....", the man slowly placed down his tea, "don't be foolish, I simply sent her to help even out the workload"
"am I not doing enough?"
At this point, I started to panic
"quit the opposite"
--------------------------------
I left the parlour not pleased with anything, I don't need help I don't need that girl barging in on my role
Not if I can handle it
