"Here, you will be living in this room from now on. And here are the blankets. But first, let's go down and eat dinner." Yang Zhai said to Li Na and Si Yu.
It was already night, and they could walk a little. Yang Zhai had given them the upper floor room so that they would not try to run. And he was sure that they would not do that, after all, Yang Zhai had not done anything to them and was even nice to them.
Secondly, they had already experienced some clutches of life and knew how difficult it was to live. But, he was being cautious.
All three of them went down and sat around a Chabudai table(floor table) for dinner.
"Eat up, as much as you want."Yang Zhai said with a smile.
Let's make them enjoy it and get used to this. Peace after chaos is what people like when they experience everything getting ruined in front of themselves. I am sure these two can be converted into great weapons of chaos. Let's mold them from the start. It's going to be interesting: Yang Zhai pondered after seeing the two.
These two could revitalize him even when they had not become cultivators. These two could be great healers if they were brought up like that. However, the greatest betrayal was when it was given by the closest ones or the most trusted ones.
Yang Zhai had no use for them to be healers. After all, even if they did not become healers, they could still heal him. Similar to how they could make him feel revitalized even though they had not become cultivators, it would be another case if they become proper healers.
However, only doctors could understand the true meaning of a disease and how it could be fatal if used in a certain way. So, wouldn't these two become destructive fighters if they knew what could be used to stop their chaos?
And of course, to Yang Zhai chaos did not mean destruction, but the one which could not be understood.
"You are not hungry, you don't want to eat?" Yang Zhai saw Li Na and Si Yu hesitating.
"Huh…, no… I mean, yes, we are hungry. But…," Si Yu stuttered and hurriedly shook his head.
"Oh, I understand, it's not enough. Don't worry, I have more in the culinary. Or could it be that you are feeling shy? Well, I can't do anything about that, I am not good at making people feel comfortable around me."
"Yes,... I mean no," Si Yu said again, shaking his head quickly.
"Then begin, and I don't want to hear anymore."
"Uh…,"
Both of the kids heard Yang Zhai and began to eat hesitantly. However, when they started to eat, they could not stop and kept on eating. It could be seen how hungry they were that they forgot everything whilst eating and only focused on eating.
"From now on, you can call me brother fen, and I was thinking if you want to become cultivators?"
When Yang Zhai saw that they had finished eating, he brought up the topic that he wanted them to focus on.
Of course, it was just an indirect announcement, they would have to become cultivators whether they wanted to or not. If they did not, then they had no use for Yang Zhai.
"What?!"
"What?!"
Both Li Na and Si Yu were taken by surprise. It was like they had seen a ghost. They never thought that everything would end up like this.
They were sure that they were going to die this early morning, but now they had a chance to become cultivators? Even if they hated the cultivators, that did not mean that they did not want to become cultivators themselves.
It was just like how many people hated the politicians, but wanted to become one themselves.
"Really?"
"Do you think I am lying? After all, now that you are going to live with me, you have to become stronger, or you won't be able to keep up with my journey." Yang Zhai stopped for a while before continuing,
"You should go and sleep for now. I will teach you how to become a cultivator tomorrow. And huh, don't ever forget what you experience, whether in the past or the coming future. Now go and get some rest."
Yang Zhai sent the two to their room and began to cultivate himself. He had not cultivated for the previous two days properly.
"Let's see, I could not find anything unusual in the village ever since I came here, but the mortal who attacked me had clearly mentioned this village, I am sure of it. So, what am I missing?" Yang Zhai was lost in thoughts of his present investigation.
Even though he was sure that the mortal had not lied, Yang Zhai was still cautious and did not go directly asking or attacking the village. He first wanted to confirm everything before acting.
He had been in this village for almost two months, but he could not find anything unusual at all, why?
"Now I get it, instead of going in the day, why don't I go investigate at night?" Yang Zhai suddenly had a thought.
However, Yang Zhai did not leave right now, he first wanted to see the kids' reaction. If they tried to leave, then he must discipline them first for a few days before going.
The next day,
"You two got up early in the morning, are you that restless to become cultivators? Let's begin," Yang Zhai gave four essence stones to the kids before saying this.
"No, we just don't want to make you wait," Li Na replied in a slow tone.
"Very well, what you have to do is to absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world, and a black vortex will appear, then…"
Yang Zhai began to explain the aperture awakening process to Si Yu and Li Na.
Usually, people would use a place filled with spiritual energy to awaken their aperture: however, Yang Zhai did not tell them this. It was because he was sure that these two could easily awaken their aperture with their physiques.
It mostly takes three days for a mortal to awaken their aperture, but because Yang Zhai knew that these kids had physiques, it should take them one or two days.
Li Na and Si Yu did just as Yang Zhai told them, and he himself sat down to cultivate. If these two had any issues in awakening their apertures, Yang Zhai could also help them.
