GuBaiJin sect....
At fallen mist sanctum fifteen male youthful cultivators sat on a flat green hassock behind a raised brown table of wood. Laid out in front of them was a cup made of dark brown wood which held ink brushes facing up, to the side was a small emerald rock to grind the ink to powder and mix with the water from a small slender pitcher of wood. The disciples of GuBaijin sect sat with their back straight in attention to the words of their teacher, none other than Jin Caihe who is said to be a cultivator of exemplary virtue and brilliance.
Jin Caihe, a tall and proportionate man, his dark hair flowed gracefully down the length of his back, contrary to the sect rule that male cultivators wear a head band of green, having a radiant countenance akin to basking in the warmth of the sun and an appearance that held one of much vigor. Looking at the young disciples through smiling liquid brown eyes, holding in one hand a rolled up scroll, as his gaze fell to one of the disciples that sat on the second row out of a row of five that sat three cultivators on each row. The GuiBaiJin disciples wore robes of green with their hair tied with a green band and a forehead ribbon that displayed the symbol of their sect a winged snake.
"Jin An, can you explain how many realms exists in the universe?"
"..."
The disciple that was asked this question stood and kept looking from side to side, hoping to receive some kind of hint from his classmates that sat along with him in the fallen mist sanctum. As he was about to turn around to see if any could save his hide, that was when Jin Caihe spoke.
"I'm still waiting to hear your answer."
"T...he heavens? Human realm...I....."
Unable to think of a third answer, Jin An hung his head low in shame, the young disciple had the look of a shy and timid person, the fair skin on his face had taken on a pink stain from the somewhat awkward position of not being able to answer to his teacher, whose face remained unchanged.
"You can sit down Jin An, who else knows the answer?"
Red faced, Jin An hurriedly took his seat on the hassock, unable to meet the gaze of Jin Caihe. It didn't take too long for a hand to shoot up in the air, as though he didn't see the hand that was raised, Jin Caihe kept asking who knew the answer to what he asked, but none in the class raised their hands up except those of Jin Tieguai, the bane of GuBaiJin sect.
"Head teacher Jin, it looks like Jin Tieguai knows the answer."
"Hush Jin Xiangu! Can't you see that he was deliberately ignored by Jin Caihe. That Jin Tieguai, he shouldn't have raised his hands up in the first place. I tell you this will not end well, just why did he have to be a know it all!"
The pensive look on the faces of all the disciples made the mouth of Jin Caihe to tighten all the more, as he looked at the face of Jin Tieguai which was overflowing with mischievousness, while awaiting his chance to speak in the room.
