"What kind of Plant Senior Sister?" Han Yu asked, feeling curious.
"Not here, let's go somewhere a bit more private." Xuan Qing said, making Han Yu nod.
Han Yu and Xuan Qing had stepped away from the lively campfires where disciples gathered in groups, trading stories and keeping their nerves at bay before the coming trials. The two of them walked a little further into the shadows of an empty storage tent at the back of the camp.
It was quiet here, broken only by the distant chirping of insects and the occasional flicker of spiritual light from the wards laid by the elders.
Xuan Qing was the first to speak.
Her voice was steady, but it carried a faint excitement beneath the calm surface. "An elder of the Jade Mirror sect discovered an unusual plant."
Han Yu tilted his head. "Unusual in what sense?" He tried to sound casual, though inside, he was immediately alert. If Xuan Qing was paying attention to it, it had to be something rare or valuable.
