The Echoes of Eternity
Ling's eyes narrowed, his gaze piercing as he sized her up. He didn't trust her, but he needed her.
"What's the mission?" he asked, his voice crisp and detached.
Li's eyes flashed with excitement, her pupils dilating as she leaned forward. "We have a problem, Ling," she said, her voice low and urgent. "The Azure Sect is plotting something, and we need you to find out what it is."
Ling's face twisted with skepticism, his eyes fixed on Li. He didn't like the sound of this, but he knew he had to hear her out.
"What makes you think they're plotting something?" he asked, his voice cold and detached.
Li's smile grew wider, her eyes glinting with amusement. "Let's just say we have our sources," she said, her voice dripping with mystery. "And we need someone with your... particular skills to get to the bottom of it."
Ling's eyes narrowed, his gaze fixed on Li. He didn't like the sound of this, but he knew he had to see it through.
"Fine," he said, his voice cold. "I'll do it. But I better not be walking into a trap, Li."
Li's expression turned serious, her eyes flashing with intensity. "I promise you, Ling," she said, her voice low and mysterious. "You'll be protected. At least, as much as I can manage."
The Meeting
Ling arrived at the old windmill on the outskirts of town, his senses on high alert. He didn't know what to expect, but he was ready for anything.
As he entered the windmill, he saw a woman waiting for him. She had long, flowing hair and piercing green eyes that seemed to bore into his soul. She was dressed in a black cloak, and her presence radiated an aura of power and mystery.
"Who are you?" Ling asked, his voice firm and commanding.
The woman's smile was like a razor's edge, cutting through the tension in the air. "I'm Li," she said, her voice husky and confident. "Mu's agent. I'm here to brief you on your mission."
Ling's eyes narrowed, his gaze piercing as he sized her up. He didn't trust her, but he needed her.
"What's the mission?" he asked, his voice crisp and detached.
Li's eyes flashed with excitement, her pupils dilating as she leaned forward. "We have a problem, Ling," she said, her voice low and urgent. "The Azure Sect is plotting something, and we need you to find out what it is."
