"Who?" At the sound of that voice, Li Xiaoya flew into a rage and turned to glare fiercely in the direction it had come from...
When he looked that way...

A slender, graceful girl in a white palace dress, her face covered by a white veil, was walking ahead without looking back. Beside her stood a girl in a fitted green martial outfit. The girl in green was breathtakingly beautiful, though she had a rather headstrong air. Her fitted outfit accentuated her lovely figure, and a longsword hung at her slender waist.
