"Do you not remember me?" The woman asked as we entered the woods.

'Do I? I don't think so.'

"No, I'm sorry." I answered.

"I guess I'll reintroduce myself to you again. Hello, my name is Lan Xiao." She smiled and did a small bow.

"You're Lan Xiao?!" I exclaimed a bit confused.

"Is that a bad thing?" She asked.

"No, it's just... when I first met you, you were always up to trouble. Now you seem more mature." I told her as I tried to clear up the misunderstanding.

I noticed Lan Zhan having a hard time carrying the masked man.

"Since it's getting dark already, we could rest at the house I grew up in." I suggested. We were still near the village and I found it best if we just stopped here to rest.

"That sounds like a great idea. Lan Zhan, let's stay for the night then go in the morning." Lan Xiao agreed.

"Follow me." I led the group to the house I thought I was never going to see again.

~~~

"Oh~ your house is actually kind of big." Lan Xiao commented as we entered the house.

"Let him rest here on the floor. I'll go and wash the sheets by the river. Make yourselves at home." I told them as I quickly grabbed the broom and began to sweep up the place.

"Don't worry, I'll help you out!" Lan Xiao said with a smile as she took the broom from my hands.

"Thanks, I'll be going then." I got the sheets and left to the river that's by the house.

I made sure to take off as much dust as I could before dipping the blanket into the chilly water. I let myself walk into the water slowly and began to wash the blanket. It was about 5 minutes later when I heard some rustling in the woods.

"Hello?" I questioned.

"We aren't here to hurt you." One of the cultivators said as a group of them slowly walked out.

"Are you all looking for Lan Zhan?" I asked and they quickly nodded.

"You see the light down the trail? Just follow it and they'll be there in a house." I pointed in the direction, then continued to wash the blanket.

"Thank you." I heard the group say and followed the trail.

"Aren't you cold?" One of the boys asked.

"Not really." I lied with a small smile.

"You guys could go on ahead. I'll help her out." He told the group. He got into the water but quickly jumped out.

"You lied! It is cold." He said as he rubbed his arms to warm himself up.

I felt myself start to laugh. I didn't think he was going to actually help me.
