Dongmei raised her arm, looking at the sleeve of her new clothing. The white silk draped down, blue threads shimmering behind the pure white silk. She waved her arms around, the guang sleeves following along with her movements. Giving an impressed sigh, Dongmei clasped her hands together and sat down at her room's table.
A knock came on her door, "Lady Wang, Young Master Lan sent me to get you." Dongmei stood up and walked quickly to the door, a young cultivator standing at the door. "Come this way, Lady Wang." Dongmei grabbed her sword before following after the young cultivator. The young cultivator led her across the Siheyuan to Lan Cheung's quarters.
The young cultivator knocked and opened the door when Cheung said to come in. The cultivator opened the door and bowed to me and Cheung before leaving. "Dongmei, thank you for coming. I called for Rong as well, but either he got lost or hasn't woken." Dongmei covered her mouth as she laughed, trying to cover it with a cough.
Someone cleared their throat at the door and Dongmei whirled around, her smile dropping when she saw who it was. "I wasn't sleeping, nor was I lost. I was in the library." Rong said coldly, glaring at the two at them.
"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed," Dongmei muttered, smiling at Cheung who smirked. Rong rolled his eyes and moved to stand next to Dongmei, glaring at Cheung.
"I want to talk to you." Rong pointed his sword hilt at Cheung, "Alone." he glanced at Dongmei who quickly walked out and shut the door. Not even trying to listen in, Dongmei joined a group of cultivators on the Siheyuan, following the different forms the instructor called out.
"Yi!" the instructor shouted, and in unison, the cultivators moved shouting, "Er!" everyone pivoted and pointed their swords out, "San!" Dongmei by now had closed her eyes, letting her body react without thinking, "Si!" Drawing a deep breath, Dongmei shouted with everyone, her face remaining stern, "Wu!....Liu!....Qi!"
"Dongmei! Wang Dongmei!" Dongmei's eyes snapped open to see Rong calling her, smiling when he glanced at Cheung who too smiled seeing Dongmei with the other cultivators. "We're going to train at the mountain top." Dongmei ran over to the two young men, smiling.
"I'll join you two later, alright?" They nodded, bowing to the princess before taking their leave. Dongmei watched them leave the entrance of the Lan Mansion.
