Chereads / After the Snow Melts / Chapter 5 - First Step.

Chapter 5 - First Step.

"What the heckkk! I can't do this."

Yun Chun looked at Feng Jia who was wearing red and white robes. His usual ponytail was replaced by half done hair with two maple leaf hairpin with dangling red beads at both sides. He wore a single red stone stud.

He looked beautiful. until he'd start cursing, waking and trying to punch and kick people. He was a feisty beauty.

Li Chao who was wearing pastel blue female robes. His hair was done in his usual ponytail but with smaller flower pins in his braids. He wore a bigger single crystal stud. 

Yun Chun wore simple gray female robes, now the silver work on them was more intricate. His hair was done as always, clasped with a golden butterfly. But now two smaller silver butterfly pins were clasped beside it. He wore dangling vine-like silver earrings.

Zhou YunRu entered the room and stopped in his tracks when he looked at the three gir-guys standing in front of him. 

Even if all the females in heaven joined force on one side with these three on another, they still won't win. 

"See I told you, this doesn't work. Even he isn't reacting."

Feng Jia told Yun Chun. The three of them looked quite down.

Zhao YunRu walked to them quickly.

"No no, Young Master Feng. I wasn't reacting because I was astonished. You guys look prettier than every single fairy in heaven."

Li Chao spoke.

"It's not like you've seen every single fairy up close."

"This Lord has dated more than half of them."

Li Chao laughed and went out.

Yun Chun and Feng Jia smiled sympathetically at him.

"You didn't have to lie to that extent, Lord Zhao."

Feng Jia patted his hands on his shoulder and they went after Li Chao.

"I really have, though. Huh, ah wait for me."

Everyone at the street stopped whatever they were doing when a certain sight came in front of them.

Some even didn't realise that their mouth was wide open.

Three rare beauties were walking with a handsome man. 

"Woahhh."

"Did fairies descend down the heaven…."

Looked at Zhao YunRu and continued,"....with their bodyguard?

What the heck, he was the one who descended the heavens, foolish humans. But Zhou YunRu wasn't angry with it, their widened eyes and open mouth proved that the Water Illusion was done rather well.

He smiled and spoke from between his teeth.

"You guys remember what you came for right?"

The three of them smiled at him too and spoke in the same way.

Li Chao said,"To cure Young Lady's skin problems. And they are my younger sisters who will help cure the Lady of the Sect."

"Perfect."

Yun Chun kept up his smile and said,"What about you, Lord Zhou?"

"Do Young Masters even have to ask? I'm here to teach the Young Master Martial Arts."

Yun Chun said seriously,"Here we are. Let's do this well, whatever it takes."

They took a long breath as they stood in front of the large front gate. The gate was majestic. The cravings of the door Gods seemed to be done by someone very talented. 

When they had come near the gates, the guards asked them,"What are you guys here for?"

"We're here regarding Lady's health. We think we can help."

Yun Chun was ready to explain more about him and medicine but to his surprise, they let him in easily.

When they entered the main door they saw a long stone with a crystal ball at the top, in front of the inner door. 

Yun Chun clenched his hands looking at it. It was Element Energy Determining Stone. It was the five Clan's joint heirloom. When someone places their hand on the crystal, the Crystal ball would emit green, silver, orange, blue or black light which means that the person had Earth, Air, Fire, Water or Metal energy. 

A man dressed in fine uniform came in from the inner door and greeted them.

"Greetings to the Young Ladies. This humble servant is the person who is incharge of security in the Gentle Wind Sect. Ladies can call this one, Incharge Jiang. This servant would like to apologize in advance for troubling you all to go through two tests before entering. We hope that intelligent ladies will understand."

Yun Chun nodded his head.

Few female maids came in and took them behind the curtain. They groped them to see if they were real women or not. Yun Chun tried his best remaining calm when two women were touching him all over to check for the weapons. They were about to grab his now squishy twins when he spoke,"This lady is quiet on the shy side. Please refrain from touching, this lady will show them to you instead."

The maids stepped backwards. He opened his robe and showed them his body while wearing inner garments.

God, what had he done so wrong that he had to stand and show his body wearing inner robes to some strange women.

He came out of the curtain, red faced Feng Jia and Li Chao exited with him whereas Zhao YunRu was all smiles with his guard bros.

"Now please beg the ladies to put your hands on the crystal. We need to confirm if you have any evil intentions for the Sect or not."

"How the h- I mean how would the strong sir know if we are evil or not?"

Feng Jia tried acting as innocent and helpless as he could but his fearless eyes, confident body language didn't help and his words sounded manipulative.

Incharge Jiang spoke politely and said,"This humble servant would say everything after the test is done. So please."

Li Chao walked to the Element Energy Detecting Stone, bowed and put his hands, the ball didn't glow. The action and result was repeated when done by Yun Chun, Feng Jia and Zhou YunRu.

Incharge Jiang bowed to them and said,"Thank you for the patience. Also this servant would like to thank the ladies and lord who have for the well being of the mother of our Sect. Now please follow me to meet our Sect Leader.

They entered the main hall. A man who looked a bit old sat in the high seat at the end of the hall. Two men were already standing below at the ground, both wearing black and white robes, one with flowy sleeves whereas the other wasn't flowy, their long black hair covered their back, tall and high Guan, one half bun whereas the other ponytail.

Without thinking much, the group stood and bowed to the  Sect Leader.

"Greetings to the Sect Leader."

"Ho ho, the words were indeed true. Really beautiful ladies have graced our Sect with their presence. I would like to know who your parents are and the purpose of being here."

The Sect Leader was smiling but Yun Chun could sense the cold look behind those warm eyes.

"We don't have parents, Lord. We sisters take care of each other. We are here because we simply believe we can cure Madam."

"No thing is done without expectation of reward in this world."

"Of course, Lord. Please forgive us but we do require something in return."

"And what would that be?"

"For the Lord to give us food, shelter and a job. We are having a quite hard time because the people don't trust female physicians. So pray to the Lord to help us and instead we promise we'll cure Madam."

"This lady seems quite confident. I'll believe in that. Today is a really good day. I got a Masters for my son and doctors for my wife."

"Huh?"

"Oh, let me introduce you guys to each other. The two Wang Brothers are students of a nameless Martial Arts Master. They will be the Masters of my son."

The two guys turned towards them in sync. They had worn a silver mask on their faces.

They bowed to each other, while they were standing up, they made eye contact with each other. Yun Chun felt something strange stir inside him, subtly.

"Ummm, may I ask what this gentleman here for? We only allow the concerned person to be here. Only their family and spouse is allowed. I request this Mister to leave at once."

Zhou YunRu looked at him and Lowly said,"I can't."

"Then I forcefully have to do so."

"No, you can't."

"How about we check? Guards, take Mister outta here."

The guards approached him. 

"Stop. You can't."

"I surely can, though. Tell me a reason, not to."

"IT'S BECAUSE I AM HER HUSBAND."

The guards stopped along with everyone.

Zhou YunRu first of all looked at the hands he was holding tightly. It was slender and very pretty then he slowly moved his way up that beautiful arm but shuddered as he stopped his eyes.

What other saw was the beautiful smile of Li Chao, but only he understood the murderous aura behind it.

The Sect Leader stared at him suspiciously and asked,"Then why didn't you mention it before?"

Yun Chun spoke calmly,"This Lady apologies to the Lord, it's just that my sister and brother-in- law love each other immensely but are always at each other's neck too. Today they fought so… This lady asks for your understanding."

The Sect Leader looked at them without saying anything which made their heartbeat faster.

"Ha ha ha ha, young love. I used to be like that too when I was young. I suggest you man, love your wife more, talk more when you have time. Someday you might have everything but the chance to talk and laugh."

All of them breathed the air they had been holding. They bowed and said,"Thank you for the understanding, Lord."

"Now take the guests and couple to their respective room."

"One room?"

"Together?"

"Come on, lovers. Go to your room and make up already. There's no fight that can't be solved once both get inside the room."

He winked at them.

Yun Chun thought about this nice man, but thought that he was involved in a deep matter.

He'll find out.
