Murim Recurve

"Yes, she would be the one entering Earth," Mu'Tua said as she glanced at Re'Kha, "She had come in contact with a Sha recently. So, we are trying to see if a trip to Earth would sever her connection with the Sha."

"This is the first time someone who had come into contact with a Sha is allowed entry to Earth." The Elder seated in the centre said, "Let's exercise caution. Let her mingle with our Clan's younger generation until it is her time."

"Yes," Mu'Tua glanced at Re'Kha, motioning for her to leave the main hall. Re'Kha bowed towards the Vi Clan Head, also implying her bow was directed towards the three Elders thanks to facing the same direction. She bowed twice, making contact with the heights each were seated at.

Re'Kha turned around and walked away, exiting the hall as she could still hear faint murmurs of the conversation shared between Mu'Tua and the Elders. Re'Kha didn't use her Wind Qi perception for most of the duration, afraid the Elders would sense something.

So, she only used it at the start to know the positions of everyone before switching it off. She had been careful not to show her Tikka jewellery in the meantime. As for the Vi Clan Head, all he did was frown once when he noticed her Tikka jewellery was hidden.

Re'Kha didn't wish to walk anywhere else, after all, she was in the territory of a different Clan. She neither had any friends nor acquaints in the Burfuna Vi Clan. So, instead of roaming around the area and stir up something unwanted, she decided to stay put in the place.

Re'Kha found a perfect place to sit along the side of a path as she moved the hood covering her head, making the bottom half of her Tikka jewellery's gem be revealed. It was a habit of everyone from her race to gaze at the Tikka jewellery of people they came across.

When someone hid their Tikka jewellery, others usually saw it either annoying or sometimes offensive. In such a case where she came to meet the leaders of a Clan, it wasn't wise to cover her Tikka jewellery like that.

But, it wouldn't have been polite if she adjusted her hood once she was in their presence. The Clan Hall was a place where strictness was implied the most, since people were in the presence of the Clan Elders there, beings who were Martial Masters.

And, the Martial Masters were people who were really old, so their mindsets were different from the youth who managed the Clan. Based on what she had been told, the Martial Masters were most probably seniors to even people like Mu'Tua in age.

So that's why she didn't do anything else and exited the moment she was permitted to.

"Hah," Re'Kha relaxed, not feeling afraid despite the fact she wasn't using her Wind Qi perception to see. Re'Kha could feel a couple of gazes on her. And, as the gazes moved, she could also sense a relative distance between them.

This was the reason Re'Kha usually lied about her master teaching her a method that allowed her to perceive people around her. It wasn't a lie, but just that the effect was incredibly weak and vague. But, Re'Kha knew that as long as she trained with her Wind Qi perception, her senses would improve.

After all, the presences she felt was basically the air coming into contact with them. And, the effect their moving bodies had on the wind was faintly perceived by her. This was a sense exclusive to the wind element. Re'Kha had an inkling that this sense would grow until she could clearly sense the presence of people further down the line, at least until a certain range after which it would become blurry.

As to how long the range could grow towards, she was unsure.

"Hello there, my lady." The voice of a man resounded as Re'Kha turned in the direction of the voice, acting based on the presence she felt.

Re'Kha stood up and performed a formal bow, "I am called Re'Luk."

"It's a pleasure meeting you, lady Re'Luk." The other party introduced himself, "I am…"

Re'Kha didn't seem to focus on what he said, getting diverted when she heard her name being called by Mu'Tua. Re'Kha made a formal bow to the man who had spoken to her, "It was a pleasure meeting you."

She then adjusted her hood, covering the gem on her Tikka jewellery once again as she walked towards Mu'Tua. She had revealed it before solely because she felt some gazes on her. It was to prevent them from having suspicion. After all, no commoners were allowed entry to Earth. It was something banned by imperial law.

So, the prime concern of the Vi Clansmen was the fact she could hail from the commoners, someone who wasn't a Harmoniser. Once they saw her bright blue radiance, their gazes trailed past one after another.

Re'Kha and Mu'Tua went around, coming across the Vi Clansmen as they chatted from time to time, attended tea breaks, dinner, etc. Finally, when it was sometime before midnight, Re'Kha accompanied the Vi Clan Head who led her to an underground room beneath the main hall.

It was a long, narrow corridor that was dark, save for some luminescent stones embedded in the walls that barely illuminated the path. It was just enough for one to not trip while walking. As for why the radiance was so dim and why the Clan hadn't invested in embedding more stones into the wall, Re'Kha had once asked the Burkurel Re Clan Head.

All she got as a reply was the fact that it was enough. When she pressed forth for an answer, she was greeted with silence.

'I never knew I would be able to visit here when I lack my sight. As to the fact whether the Earth is different in different cities, I'll personally verify it now.' Re'Kha hadn't activated her Wind Qi perception, for she knew the entity before her would change colours based on the element of the user.

Using her Wind Qi perception now was a death sentence. Thankfully, it was the same as in her Clan. Re'Kha waited in the place with the Vi Clan Head for some time, soon hearing a series of footsteps. The Vi Clansmen who had finished his exploration emerged, shooting a confused glance at Re'Kha as he noticed her bright blue gem, wondering why his Clan had invited an outsider for an exploration.

He didn't say anything, bowing once at the Clan Head as he entered a room beside. The Vi Clan Head looked at Re'Kha, "It's your time, now. Don't delay."

"Thank you," Re'Kha bowed and continued to walk. She felt something moist envelop her as the colour of the mist in the place had turned blue and became moist, changing because her element was water.

Re'Kha continued to walk at such a pace, feeling the moisture around her intensity suddenly as she felt as if she was drowning in water. An instant later, her eyes shot open, now able to 'see' her surroundings.
