Yang Qing smiled, turning around to meet the speaker. He had already recognized the voice and the presence as they walked over.
"It really is," said Yang Qing. "Nice to meet you, Appraiser Chen Yu," Yang Qing said to the blue-haired newcomer from Jade Leaf Academy, who walked over and stood by his side.
"So it was you," Chen Yu said, smiling, an appraising glint flashing in his eyes as he examined Yang Qing. "The mysterious figure who traded that Green Flame Tree Sap."
Chen Yu's intrigue showed plainly as he made the comment.
"Yang Qing, of the Order," Yang Qing said, cupping his fist at Chen Yu.
"Chen Yu of Jade Leaf Academy," said Chen Yu, returning the greeting.
"From the Order," Chen Yu said, as the two of them turned to face the setting sun, its rays spilling across the horizon.
"That explains the sap," Chen Yu commented. "I didn't think I'd meet someone from the Order here."
"I didn't think I'd meet someone from Jade Leaf Academy here either," Yang Qing said leisurely.
