Later that day
Meigui pov
"I'm here! Sorry, I got caught up with something before coming here!". I said as I rushed to Wei Ying who was waiting at the Koi Pond, He looked at me with an eyebrow raised as I tried to catch my breath.
"What were you doing?". He asked curiously.
"Lisanna treating Yanli rudely and the servants, I had to punish her". I said.
"Oh yea, Madame Yu got into an argument with Madame Baihe on that, she pushed it aside and said it was just a small quarrel between ladies, she did not like that". He said in humor, I sighed.
"My mother is really angry. I haven't seen my sisters for a while, and it's created tension between my mother and Madame Yu. No wonder the atmosphere is so tense". I said, he held my hand for comfort.
"It's not your fault, Meigui, none of it is". He said.
"Then why do I feel so guilty? I'm the reason why my mother is so angry, just because of one incident-".
"You being sick? I think it's a bit overdramatic-".
"Let's change the subject, there's something I want to show you, I can tell you were curious". I said as I took out my pouch.
"I always wondered what that was". He said, I handed it to him so he could look, he opened it.
"Keys? For what? They look ordinary to me". He asked curiously.
"They're not just keys, they're my closest friends that live inside them". I said, he looked at me weirdly, I rolled my eyes and took the pouch.
"They are Celestial Spirits; these keys open gateways to their world and pass through to ours. More like a realm". I explained.
"Why are they different in color?". He asked.
"The golden keys represent the strongest spirits, The 12 Zodiac. I only have 9 of the 12 and have 5 Silver keys, Silver keys are more common than Golden ones which are rare, and only 12 which are the Zodiac". I said.
"So they live and watch you in their realm?". He asked, I nodded.
"Not all the time, they only watch when I'm in a battle, they respect my privacy and I can also tell if they are watching me". I said as I took out Loke's key and handed it to him.
"What spirit is this one?". He asked, I smiled.
"Why don't you ask him yourself?". I asked, he looked at me.
"How?". He asked, right when he did, Loke's key began to glow, he looked in fascination as he appeared.
"Now that's cool!". He said in awe, I giggled.
"Baihe Meigui is more advanced in Celestial Magic, so she doesn't need to summon us the way the others do, she's amazing". Loke said.
"Celestial magic? Is this what it's called?". He asked curiously, we both nodded.
"It's good to see you, Loke, how's everyone?". I asked.
"We're all doing fine, Aquarius sends her regards as well". He said, I smiled.
"I'm glad she's doing ok, I miss her a lot". I said.
"Did something happen?". Wei Ying asked, Loke then explained the story of how I lost Aquarius and how I didn't take it very well.
"I'm doing better now, Loke, there's no need to worry about me. As long as Aquarius is doing ok then I'm ok". I said.
"If you say so, you had everyone worried but I'm glad you're doing well, especially with Natsu and the others being here". He said.
