“They’re not taking it too badly,” Xiulan heard Loud Boy mutter, watching the arena through a crystal screen. Some people practically sprinted from the room. Some looked dumbfounded, others worried, as they all made their confusion known. Some rushed to be with their Elders. Others formed groups with their friends, but soon enough everyone was heading for the doors. “It's the shock,” Lu Ri said, his voice calm as always. “Less Qi deviation than I expected, however.” “Are they alright? I thought that was metaphorical, not that people actually…” the Torrent Rider muttered. There were several chuckles, Xiulan included. She ruffled the young man’s hair and turned to Lu Ri. “Thank you for being here, Lu Ri,” Xiulan said. “Your presence has helped tremendously.” The man nodded stoically. “Thank you for your kind words.” Xiulan was about to continue, then paused as the door to the room they were in suddenly opened. Nobody else should… then she paused as Bi De, Ri Zu, and the Xong brothers entered the room. “Sheesh! That's one thing we forgot to plan for, but we just got out before they could start asking us questions,” Gou Ren grumbled. “I had full confidence in you,” Xiulan replied, playing as she hadn’t thought it an issue, rather than just forgetting that if they were up in the stands, they would need to leave. She was used to not having to worry about Bi De.
