Long Wuying took them into an empty Spirit cave that was available near where he planned to instruct the little brat.
Coincidently or not his cave was not far from here.
" Here is where you will reside" he looked at Xiu Lan then at little Bun," I will send someone to bring you to me tomorrow. You can wear that pair of cloths to the back. Don't be late." He then turned around and left.
' He is so annoying. He didn't even explain well about how i will be staying here.' Annoyed, she turned around to inspect the room.
It was not a large room by any means but it was enough for her and little bun to move around freely. The walls were a dark purple color and but smooth in texture. there was two beds, a closet and a table. To the side there was a smaller door which led to room with2 separate doors. One lead to the toilet which was built in a style similar to a latrine but much more hygienic. The other door led to the shower and bathtub. The tub was made out of strong wood and was built in a fancy style into the earth. The shower was also just as fancy with water coming out out a hole through the roof.
These were significantly better than the village where she had used a pit dug into the earth to relive herself and a bucket and a bowl to bathe.
Satisfied with the rooms conditions she went back in to the bedroom and notice a wooden training dummy as well as another contraption on the wall in the back that looked similar to the mirror in the test they gave before.
'Huh, I wonder what that mirror is for. I'll have to ask someone later'.
Little bun had already finished her inspection of the room. She was now currently jumping on the fluffy bed. Giggling, she said " mama the bed soooooo soft and fluffy! Come on feel it, feel it!" she jumped off and pulled her mother to the bed. Xiu Lan willingly let her self be pulled and touched the bed. It was indeed very soft and fluffy.
" Yes, it is soft and you know what else is soft?" she smiled and grabbed little bun and tickled her.
" You!"
Sounds of laughter could be heard for a long while later.
***********
The next the day at 7 am someone came and knocked.
" Good morning, I am here to collect Shu Xiao Mei"
By this time Xiu Lan was already up meditating. When she heard the voice she woke little bun up to go meet the Lady outside.
Little bun was so excited that all the sleep disappeared completely off her face. She change into her school cloths and went to meet the woman.
When they opened the door a beautiful lady awaited them. The lady had an exotic chocolate brown skin color and long curly black hair. Her eyes were a amber brown that stood under long eyelashes.
Little buns eyes sparkled,' So pretty!'. Then she looked at her mothers face and thought,
' My mama is still the prettiest.' Her cheeky face smiled in happiness.
Meanwhile. Xiu Lan had sensed a killers aura on the woman. Only people who have killed would have this aura attached to them.
'This school is not simple' she frown.
On guard, she decided to follow little bun to her class. She was not comfortable leaving her with this woman.
" I am Ying. Please follow me to the training quarters." Ying said with a blank face. She then lead the duo through a long passage way near their room.
After a few twists and turns, they came upon a large room. It was filled with all sorts of weapons and magical contraptions. On the walls were some small insects shining in a bioluminescent green and blue light. They looked very pretty in the enclosed room.
After leading them there. Ying turned and left silently. Xiao Mei walked around the room taking in everything. She was very new to everything around her and everything fascinated her.
After waiting a short while, Long Wuying suddenly appeared at the door.
Xiao Mei spotted him first and gave a respectful bow. Her mother told her to be respectful and polite to her teachers.
Xiu Lan had also felt his appearance because this time she was on guard. She looked to him warily and greeted him as well. He was wearing a simple green robe with his long hair pulled back with a ribbon.
" Good morning, Now, Lets start" he said walking into the room. He looked at Xiu Lan and stated," You can leave. If you have any business out side the school use this" he handed her a jade green slip with his name engraved on it. She took it slowly and put it away.
" What exactly is it that you will be teaching her? "
Long Wuying looked at her, and eyebrow raise at her cluelessness.
He had gotten all their information late last night. She was from a wealthy family specifically her father was the advisor to the king. If nothing had went wrong she would have been wed and married off by now living the life of a privilaged lady.
However, a simple curiousness on her part caused her to not only be disowned by her father and family but to also be doomed with a pregnancy. His informant told him of her time in the borders of the kingdom and her training with the doctor Cong Fang.
Something peeked his interest though, she seemed different after she had given birth to her child . as if her previous self had vanished. She was still the same woman but her temperament had changed. He was puzzled about the change but deduced that it could be from becoming a mother.
Whatever it was, the woman in front of his was no longer just a privilaged noble.
He looked at her cautious face,'Hmmmm, interesting'. A glint flashed through his eyes so quickly no one picked up on it.
