The next day. Cheerful morning, the sun shines brightly greeting the creatures of the earth.
Zhuge Liying was stretching her stiff arm muscles, while breathing in the morning oxygen.
"Greetings Master Zhuge." Two disciples came to Zhuge Liying this early in the morning.
They both look friendly. Their smiles and greetings are also very polite. Zhuge Liying greeted the two.
"Who are you?" He walked over to Yu Xi Chen, along with Shangkuan Ye. Both are sons and daughters of Shangkuan Yun.
"Introducing. My name is Shangkuan Ye and this is my younger brother. Yu Xi Chen."
Yu Xi Chen lowered his body, "Greetings to teacher. My name is Yu Xi Chen. However, others used to call me Yu Xi."
"Greetings to you too. Come on!" Zhuge Liying led Yu Xi and Shangkuan Yun to the table over there.
"Thank you," they both agreed.
Yu Xi and Shangkuan Ye were dissimilar twins. Zhuge Liying had just spoken to Yu Xi and her brother for the first time. So he decided to have tea together.
"Please!"
"Thank You."
Yu Xi and Shangkuan Ye sat down as Zhuge Liying ordered. Three chairs for three, and cups and teapots are on the table.
"Let's drink!" Zhuge Liying poured tea into Yu Xi and her brother's cups. Don't forget he also filled his teacup.
"Toast!" said Zhuge Liying invitingly.
"A toast to the teacher!" Yu Xi replied, followed by Shangkuan Ye's voice.
They drank the tea until it was gone. Then put down the teacup. Yu Xi and Shangkuan Ye's arrival was certainly not just for drinking tea.
"I heard. You guys are Shangkuan Yun's children, correct?" guessed Zhuge Liying for sure.
"Teacher is right. We are indeed the children of Shangkuan Yun. He is my sister," while pointing at Yu Xi Chen.
Zhuge Liying nodded in understanding. Before they could explain, of course Zhuge Liying already knew. He just didn't want to guess, and just let them explain.
"Forgive us teacher, because we just introduced ourselves to the teacher," said Yu Xi Chen.
"Earlier we were out of college. So we only met the teacher now," continued Shangkuan Ye.
"It's true what Shangkuan Gege said. We have an assignment outside the village, Father gave the task. So, we had to leave the college without knowing roots in Dao Bao Hu," Yu Xi explained again.
"I can understand your feelings. No problem. I haven't fully met the other students yet. Of course this is a long process, right? So, enjoy. Thank you for greeting me."
"Toast!"
Zhuge Liying refilled their cups, including his.
"Toast!" Yu Xi and Shangkuan Ye lifted their cups. The two cups and Zhuge Liying's collided and took a sip together.
Not long after, Yue Yi approached Zhuge Liying, "Miss." He said so in front of Yu Xi and Shangkuan Ye.
"Yes." Zhuge Liying turned around, looked at Yu Yi and his two disciples wonderingly. Why did Yue Yi only call out 'Miss', only?
"Sorry. If my presence bothers you. I will leave and come back, when you guys are done talking," Yue Yi said modestly.
Looking down, while playing rubbing his fingers. Zhuge Liying read Yue Yi's hand movements. There was something he wanted to say, but he didn't want to say it.
"It seems that this is where our conversation ends, Master. We still have to practice and meet Master Yi Kong Si," said Shangkuan Ye.
"That's right, teacher. We haven't met Father either. We will often come here and enjoy the tea that the teacher provides. The tea is very delicious," said Yu Xi Chen, as he got up from the chair.
"Hahaha, sorry for the inconvenience. Of course you can visit my place whenever you want. I'd be happy to welcome you and we'll enjoy tea together again."
Zhuge Liying sumbringa, received a visit from two of his disciples. Although it was very short, Zhuge Liying enjoyed it.
"Salute to the teacher!" The two of them greeted Zhuge Liying. After that just go.
Zhuge Liying looked at Yue Yi. The girl was still looking down, while she was not someone who could just be humble.
"They've already left. If you have something to say, then just say it," said Zhuge Liying, pouring the tea back into his cup.
Zhuge Liying always knew his character and nature. "You always know," he said, getting up quickly and sitting down.
"I heard, you challenged Feng Li Qian to a fight, right?" Yue Yi asked curiously.
"Yes, right." Zhuge Liying immediately confirmed it. He had nothing to hide.
"Jesus. You're still sane, right?"
Yue Yi touched Zhuge Liying's forehead, checking if he had a fever or not?
"Obviously. I still have common sense. Get your hands off me!"
"I'll go have a look. If you're curious, then follow me!" gerundel Zhuge Liying, while getting up.
"Hey!"
He even left. Zhuge Liying was annoyed at being ridiculed by her friend.
"Jesus. Why is he angry? I was just asking. Why should he be angry?"
"Hey, wait for me!"
Yue Yi followed behind. I don't know where Zhuge Liying would go, in such an angry state.
****
Feng residence. The place where Feng Li Qian lives, and practices.
The man, who is already 30 years old, is doing light exercise.
Preheating, breathing air and slightly stretching the muscles.
"Sir!" One of the maids brought Feng Li Qian a sword. A weapon that always accompanies Feng Li Qian's every step.
He gripped his sword like normal people. Slightly swung his sword, as a preheat.
Around him were straw dolls that would be his targets. Feng Li Qian did spend a lot of time practicing on her own, because that would make her feel more powerful.
Before practice starts. Feng Li Qian's eyes were closed first, with a thick black cloth.
"Master are you ready?" asked the waiter.
Feng Li Qian nodded, a sign that she was ready.
The maid took a step back then after that, she let out a bit of strength.
THEK....
The straw dolls rose and floated in the air. The servant controlled the dolls. The straw dolls flew around Feng Li Qian.
Feng Li Qian tried to concentrate. He could not see the movements of the dolls, but he could feel the movements of the dolls with his ears.
Hubs....
He jumped, and hit one of the dolls. His first attack was successful. However, there were still 10 dolls that he had to attack.
Training was still going on, Zhuge Liying was already there. He saw a hint of the ability of Feng Li Qian's swordplay.
Without thinking, Zhuge Liying immediately joined in. However, he did not attack Feng Li Qian.
"Get out of the way!" He asked Feng Li Qian's servant to leave and he himself would take over the practice.
Zhuge Liying's strength who knows? Apart from mastering the four elements of nature and reading one's mind, Zhuge Liying also had other advantages.
THEK....
Simultaneously, he unleashed his other abilities viz. The straw dolls came to life.
There were five straw dolls that Feng Li Qian had yet to defeat and it was time for her to experience the real training.
Feng Li Qian got an attack from behind. He tried to resist and turned to attack.
Do not stop there. Feng Li Qian received a barrage of attacks from the front and side.
"What happened?" He opened his blindfold. Just found out, if the straw doll does live like a human.
Feng Li Qian looked down, Zhuge Liying was already there, "Watch out for you!" He groaned, annoyed and angry.
"You must stay focused, disciple Feng!" Zhuge Liying shouted from below. As if encouraging Feng Li Qian.
Shhh....
Feng Li Qian's quick movements did. Avoid dolls that look angry.
Feeling played. Feng Li Qian raged. Of course he will attack the straw dolls one by one.
"Who does he think he is? I am Feng's disciple. I am the greatest disciple in Dao Bao Hu. He can't fight me with just little puppets..."
"Come, I will show you the greatness of the Dao Bao Hu disciple!"
Even though Feng Li Qian didn't say it out loud, but Zhuge Liying could still hear it clearly.
"Apparently you want to be arrogant with me. Fine, I'll show you how to actually train!" murmured Zhuge Liying from below.
While Feng Li Qian managed to defeat the straw dolls, it was Zhuge Liying who finally appeared.
He flew towards Feng Li Qian. From the very beginning, they had never gotten along and Zhuge Liying had already challenged Feng Li Qian yesterday.
"How? Do you want to battle me, disciple Feng?"
It sounded gross, but it was Zhuge Liying's signature.
Feng Li Qian looked at her new teacher, "I won't go against the teacher," said Feng Li Qian.
Feng Li Qian turned around, not wanting herself to go against her own teacher.
"What a shock. It seems that Dao Bao Hu's greatest disciple is a coward!"
Feng Li Qian ignited and turned back. He glared at Zhuge Liying who had already lowered himself down.
"You really are a coward. A warrior will definitely accept every challenge and not reject it. Hahaha...."
Laughing, his heart satisfied to see a warrior who claims to be great, but his courage is not there.
"I'm going to fight the teacher now!"
"Hmm?" Zhuge Liying muttered.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious. This time I will fight the teacher!" Feng Li Qian murmured.
Had refused, finally Feng Li Qian accepted the challenge.
"Fine. I accept it."
Zhuge Liying will serve the strength of Feng Li Qian, testing to the ability of the greatest disciple of Dao Bao Hu.
