The only school in Cloud City is very small, with only twenty students. The age of these students ranges from ten to seventeen years old. There are eleven boys and nine girls. There are two rows of seats in the classroom. Female students sit on one side and male students sit on the other side. The school starts at eight o'clock in the morning and ends at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Lee Dachin has been teaching at Cloud City for nearly a year. His students love him, and his students' parents love him too. Lee Dachin was happy that Fang Yaoting brought another place to build the school. When the people realized that Lee Dachin was building a school, they came out to help Lee Dachin built the school. The land deed belong to him and was paid by Fang Yaoting, but the townspeople provided labor for free.
After Lee Dachin closed his textbooks. He looked at the students, "Does anyone have any question?"
Male student, "Teacher Lee, I know that this is out of the subject, but how can one become a great hunter that both humans and spirits fear?"
Lee Dachin, "Hunter is just a title. If you take the title away, the hunter is still a person. The truth about becoming a great hunter depends on who you want to be. To be awed by others has two different meanings. Humans or spirits they don't fear power?"
Male student, "What are they afraid of?"
Lee Dachin, "Whether it is a spirit or human, the person they fear most is the kindest hunter, not the most powerful hunter."
The students nodded.
Female student, "Can a woman become hunter?"
Lee Dachin, "Yes, women can be great hunters. For example, "Red Moon Hunters" and "The Twin Butterfly Hunters", they are all female hunters." Lee Dachin paused. "Any more questions?"
A female student, "Teacher Lee, why doesn't the Guozhao Hunters have a sector?"
Lee Dachin, "Very good question. I have no answer. I can only say that everyone has their own way of life. Some hunters just want to live peacefully and quietly, while some hunters want fame and fortune."
The female student said sadly, "I wish they have a sector. If they do I will definitely join them."
Male student, "I want to study medicine. I heard from other hunters dinning in our Inn, one of the Guozhao hunters is very good at medicine."
Another male student shouted bravely, "I want to learn sword."
The students chatted loudly in the classroom.
Lee Dachin, "Well, if I happen to meet them. I will ask them why, and I would suggest them to teach in Cloud City." When his students cheered loudly, he laughed.
Lee Dachin smiled and shook his head. Then Lee Dachin heard the soft footsteps walked towards the door. He turned around, Fang Yaoting stood at the door with a smile, waiting for him to dismiss his class.
Lee Dachin said to his students, "Students, everyone had a great summer vacation. I will see you this fall. Remember to tell your parents that you love them."
The male students shook theirs head and the female students nodded. The students packed up and walked towards the door of the classroom.
Xiao Mei and Guozhao Zhaohui were worried when they met Fang Yaoting.
Xiao Mei held Fang Yaoting's right hand, "Third master, please don't punish."
Fang Yaoting, "If he is late, he will be punished."
Xiao Mei's expression suddenly changed.
Lee Dachin, "Yaoting, have you forgotten? Today is Zhiqiang's birthday."
Fang Yaoting, "It's been a year?"
Lee Dachin, "I think Ping'an and everyone else will come down." Lee Dachin turned to the two children. "Let's pack up and go home. Where is Bolin?"
Fang Yaoting, "He is still doing horse stance exercise."
When Fang Yaoting locked the door, the two students and Lee Dachin waited. Fang Yaoting and Lee Dachin walked in front, and the two students followed them.
Lee Dachin, "Should we buy something to cook at home or eat out?"
Fang Yaoting, "Let's eat at home."
Lee Dachin and Fang Yaoting's home is not luxurious. Lee Dachin made it clear that he wanted to live a simple life. In addition to agreeing to his lover's request, Fang Yaoting can only compliance. When they approached the house, they found three people standing outside the residents waiting.
Ma Tong bowed, "Young Master."
Fang Yaoting, "Ah Tong, what are you doing here?"
Ma Tong, "Young Master, you have not been home for almost two years. Master Fang is very worried about you."
Lee Dachin, "How about we talk inside?" He smiled. "Please come in senior Ma."
The three servants followed Fang Yaoting into the house.
Lee Dachin, "You two go do horse stance with Bolin."
The two children frowned, but they quickly leave toward the backyard.
The five people were in the living room. Fang Yaoting sat opposite Ma Tong. As Lee Dachin observed, Ma Tong must have a high position in the Fang's house because he sat when the two servants stood behind him.
Fang Yaoting, "Speak your business."
Ma Tong, "Young master, Master Fang wants me to check on your well-being and want to know when you will go home."
Fang Yaoting, "Not sure yet. Why are you here?"
Ma Tong looked at the two servants. One servant dropped a long bamboo basket on the floor. The servant opened the top cover, and there were about fifty paintings in the basket. The servant reached into the the opening of the bamboo basket and pulled out a painting. Then he handed the painting to another servant who slowly rolled down the paint.
This painting is of a beautiful young lady sitting on a table playing a guzheng.
Ma Tong, "This is Lady Li, daughter of a high rank officer. She is seventeen years old." He smiled and looked at Fang Yaoting.
Lee Dachin realized that Ma Tong came with a purpose. He is here to introduced a wife to Fang Yaoting.
Lee Dachin, "It might take some time to go through all these paintings.I'm going to make tea." He stood up and walked about three steps.
Fang Yaoting, "Dachin, stop there."
Lee Dachin turned around and shook his head to Fang Yaoting.
Fang Yaoting got up and picked up the painting, rolled it up and put it back in the bamboo basket. He turned to Ma Tong, "I have already chosen."
Ma Tong was brighten with a smile, "Really? Who is it? May I let Master Fang know?"
Fang Yaoting held Lee Dachin's right hand, "This is him. You go tell father that."
Ma Tong shook his head, "Young master, are you serious?"
Fang Yaoting, "I'm serious about this." He smiled at Lee Dachin. "Tell my father I want to marry this man."
Ma Tong, "Young master, can you reconsider?"
Fang Yaoting said firmly, "No, I have already decided, that's it."
Ma Tong, "But..."
Fang Yaoting became very angry, so Lee Dachin shook his head at Ma Tong.
Ma Tong, a servant for more than fifty years, understands Lee Danchin's shaking his head, which shows that now is not the right time to put pressure on Fang Yaoting. He said, "I will report to Master Fang. We will rest at Dragon Inn, and I will return to Capital City tomorrow."
Fang Yaoting, "Tell my father not to choose a wife for me. I'm not interested."
Ma Tong, "Good day, young master. Good day, this childe." Ma Tong and the two servants left the the living room headed towards the front door.
Lee Dachin, "I'm going to prepare a meal."
Fang Yaoting wrapped his arms around Lee Dachin, "Dachin, don't be sad. I won't marry anyone else except you."
Lee Dachin, "I don't want you to fight your father because of me. I don't want another Baiyu in my life."
Fang Yaoting, "Why do you said that? As far as I know, Baiyu is very happy with his life."
Lee Dachin, "I am not mad. I want to reason with you."
Fang Yaoting kissed Lee Dachin on his check, "Have I ever told you how cute you look when you are shy or serious?" He kissed Lee Dachin on the neck again. "I want..."
Lee Dachin, "No..."
Zhao Renshu laughed from behind and said, "Yaoting just picked him up and carry him to bed."
Guo Baiyu added, "Don't worry about meals. Ping'an will cook tonight."
The two lovers turned around and it was their friends and their two senior students.
When Fang Yaoting saw Guozhao Zhiqiang, his facial expression changed, "You go do horse stance with your juniors until dinner is ready."
Ping'an, "Ah Bao helps me in the kitchen."
Yang Bao, "Yes, Shimu." He gently patted the shoulder of the Guozhao Zhiqiang, and quickly followed Ping'an into the kitchen.
