My lovely Phoenix

part 4 an old friend

Few minutes pass
After Jiang Cheng and lan xichen left after saying classes will start in two day everyone was quiet, rin and alya left and came back with tea, snacks, and cut fruit

"S-should we go to caiyi town tomorrow?" Zizhen asked sipping his tea

"I think that's a good idea young master, since it's a bit late to go now" rin said feeding alya some fruit

"Me and rin are going on a date tomorrow then" alya said taking a bite of fruit rin was holding as she sat there flustered

"Okay then its settled we'll go tomorrow at noon and if need be we'll split into groups" sizhui said

"Nope, you guys are going into groups" alya said taking a sip of her

"How come lady kazahana and how are your injuries?" zizhen asked fiddling with the ends of his robes

"Their better now thank you for asking and it'll be more fun and more ground to cover" alya said drinking her tea

The group looked at her in curiosity and wondered what the groups will be for tomorrow

"groups are me and rin, lan jingyi and ouyang zizhen, and then jin ling and Lan sizhui" alya said pointing to each pair, our favorite young jin leader and lan look at eachother and then look away with their heads down

"Wait, what about me nee-san" atlas asked pouting

"What makes you think your going, dumbass" jin ling said crossing his arms

"Hey!! We all agreed to go, jackass" atlas said glaring at him

Sizhui sighs and seals both their mouths "Swearing is prohibited in cloud recess" the two just slump back into their seats and he released it but neither of them made a sound0

"Now now, I didn't forget you, your going with a friend of mine we'll be meeting them either at dinner" alya said happily eating fruit from rin

"Ehh, can you tell me which clan their from?" Atlas asked taking some fruit and putting spices on it (alya brought out some of them)

"Sure, their part of gusu lan but their surname is ozul" alya said this as if it was a common known fact, but jingyi froze and choked on his tea, lan sizhui also froze for a moment

"Senior ozul!! How did you convince him to go?, much less get him to speak" jingyi said this loudly earning him a look from sizhui and he quieted him down

"Well let's say I helped him once and we became friend" alya said taking a sip of tea, making everyone in the room question but stayed quiet, rin broke the silence first

"How long have you known him for, mi amor?" Rin asked eating a piece of fruit

"When we were young I was 5 he was 7 I helped him when he got lost in the forest near our sect" alya said looking at them

"When happened next nee-san" atlas asked drinking some of the tea and pouring himself another cup

"He left before I could ask him anything all i got was his name then when we came to cloud recess about a year later I saw him again and became friends with him" alya said eating the fruit happily from rin

"Huh how come we never knew about this?" jingyi asked crossing his arms

"He was focusing on his studies and cultivation" alya said sipping her tea "since I was tired of seeing him being anti-social for so long I forced him to start socialize starting with atlas"

Everyone went silent after hearing alya then the first to snap put of it was sizhui

"Oh when did you run into him?" Sizhui asked sipping his tea
