Entering the courtyard of the moon pavilion, Fu Xie Lan felt something different.
It was indeed the location of the Moon Pavilion, but the layout and shape of the building had changed. Completely different from her memory.
There is no longer a rose garden belonging to her late mother, even the swing and gazebo where she can play and relax are no longer found there.
Guided by the woman, Fu Xie Lan and the other four stepped in.
Even the building already looks very different, several rooms look lined up facing each other and form hallways. It had several floors and looked more like an inn than the former royal family's residence.
"This is your room," the woman said to Wan Lie and Ju Xian after stopping her steps.
"Thank you," Ju Xian replied.
"Get some rest, tonight there will be a banquet from the royal family," the woman said then walked back to escort the others to their respective rooms.
Wan Lie and Ju Xian were on the first floor, their room was not far from Gu Yi's room. As for Fu Xie Lan, she was on the floor top, and so was Xue Ning. One room can only accommodate two people. There are four floors in the building in total, and all of them are specially prepared for the participants of the martial art competition.
What is interesting about the division of rooms is that there are no restrictions between men and women. Room numbers are randomly assigned. Some of them have roommates of the same gender. However, those who are unlucky will have roommates of a different gender.
Just like what Gu Yi was experiencing right now. Somehow, he had a female roommate. Moreover, it was Yue Ahn. .a beautiful girl who was admired by all men from all kingdoms in the central continent.
.
.
Xue Ning didn't know who her roommate would be, while Fu Xie Lan. The girl has a male roommate.
Although in the eyes of everyone Fu Xie Lan was a man, but for the girl, she still hoped to have a female roommate.
The girl couldn't understand what the royal people meant to arrange a room like this.
***
At this time, Gu Yi stepped into his room, according to Fu Xie Lan's request. The girl asked him not to do anything useless and just follow all the rules applied before finding the ruby star stone.
Seeing a woman sitting on the edge of the bed reading a book, his eyes flashed coldly.
No interest at all. The man walked over to the window and stayed there.
Both Yue Ahn and Gu Yi were silent. No one made a sound, busy with their thoughts as if there was no one else in the room but themselves, really a very dark situation.
Unlike what happened to Fu Xie Lan, her roommate kept talking non-stop, questioning her everything despite always getting such a nonchalant response.
It seemed that the girl's roommate didn't know that she was from Hunter's Village, the way he treated Fu Xie Lan was so different from the others. Could it be that he didn't know which village Fu Xie Lan was from?
"So Xie Lan, which village are you from?" the man asked enthusiastically.
"Hunter Village," the girl answered casually while noticing the look on the face of the man who continued to question her.
"Wow, the Hunter Village that people outside are talking about?"
Fu Xie Lan just nodded.
"What's wrong with the Hunter Village? I'm surprised by those people, they tend to judge someone by their appearance."
One of Fu Xie Lan's eyebrows shot up, a completely different response.
"It's not fair if you're the only one who keeps introducing yourself, come on ask me, whatever it is I'll answer," said the man.
Fu Xie Lan's brow furrowed faintly, who introduced themselves? The man kept asking and she just answered casually.
"You're not curious about me?" asked the man slightly closer to Fu Xie Lan who was standing behind the window.
"I think it would be nice to have a female friend," said the man with sight a breath and then turned around.
Fu Xie Lan who heard that was frozen on the spot. What did he say? Woman? How could the man know that she was a woman?
"Wait!" said Fu Xie Lan.
The smile on his face never went away, truly a cheerful creature. "Are you getting interested in me?" said the man again.
"Say it again," Fu Xie Lan asked seriously.
"Hey don't look at me like that, I'm scared."
"You said it would be fun to be friends with women?"
"Who do you mean?" asked Fu Xie Lan again.
The man laughed then looked at Fu Xie Lan again. "Ah no, I was just joking, hahaha."
"Even if it's true, don't worry I won't tell anyone," said the man again.
"How..."
"Well, I thought you wouldn't be interested in a guy like me. I want to get out for a bit of fresh air, or maybe a friend cooler than you?"
"Hahaha, I'm just joking. I'm getting out," said the man stepped and disappeared behind the door.
Leaving Fu Xie Lan with a thousand new questions.
Immediately the girl's violet eyes gleamed, scanning everything outside the room without a barrier, but couldn't find the man's figure anywhere. Whereas, the man had just left the room.
'Who is that man?' Fu Xie Lan wondered.
Several abnormal events she encountered during the past few days. The first was when she was in the Hunter Village and the second was at this time.
It's very unnatural for all of that to happen in human territory.
.
.
.
Wan Lie and Ju Xian, the two men were in the same room. There was no sound from either of them.
Ju Xian, who was known to be a quiet person, met Wan Lie, a person who was too lazy to communicate with other people if it wasn't important.
Could not stand the atmosphere of the room, they both decided to go out for a walk, but that only added to the awkwardness between the two.
Wan Lie was standing right at the same time as Ju Xian, it didn't stop there, the two of them headed for the door at the same time, almost holding each other's hands on the doorknob.
A scene like that would be very romantic when it happened to a man and a woman, but what if it happened to a fellow man? Lucky when the two men were the abnormal kind, but alas, Ju Xian and Wan Lie were normal men as usual.
"Me first," said Wan Lie immediately opening the door.
Ju Xian did not respond, the man retreated from his position and chose to remain in the room.
While on the other hand. Xue Ning, out of all the friends she was with, that girl was the luckiest. Yes, maybe only temporarily, because the roommate hasn't arrived until today's registration closes, which means, she can be free to use the room alone before the other person arrives.
