Xian Wu was surprised by the degree at which Lai Yiteng was the perfect student. He could learn quickly, even after being shown a stance just once. Within a matter of days he'd already learned the essence of what one needed in order to carry out Graceful Dragons Arts, what was left was to teach him the core methods of the easiest techniques. By no means would Lai Yiteng be a master, but by mastering one of the higher-level techniques, he would have a trump card to use against enemies.
Lotus Sect Master An should be mourning his losses since he let a prodigy like this slip away! Or that was what Xian Wu thought, for Lai Yiteng's progress was abnormally fast.
The forest they dwelled in was lush and peaceful. No travelers came by on the empty and forested mountainside, only by traveling down for over an hour to a village would Xian Wu find human contact. He usually relied on Bo Penglai to gather intel.
And the days passed smoothly.
