"ARGH! so freaking cold!" Ryu shrieked rolling around the ground.
"Get up now you lazy fuck, we've made Council Master wait for too long!"
Ryu wanted to do something, but he remembered what Ryoto said about respect amongst disciples. For this time, he decided to remain silent and obey what they told him to do.
"Put this on, and get in the carriage quickly, Council Master and the other redhead are already in the carriage!"
Ryu put the sect clothing on and headed out of the room. He thanked the old woman before leaving and entered the carriage where Hina and Ryoto were wearing the same clothing as him.
The only difference was that Hina wore a white hanfu cloak over her clothing with the inscription Council Master in black on the hanfu.
Hina's clothing put a value on her body shape, exposing a part of the top of her dress, and giving a juicy shape to her waist and butt.
Ryoto on the other hand was staring at Hina as if he wanted to bite her ears.
"Took you a while to come," Hina said with a smile.
"Says the one who slept in a luxurious hotel..."
They both laughed, and Ryoto was astonished to find out that Ryu knew her.
The carriage started moving, and they were off for the Hijima Cultivation sect. They passed the district they were in and got into a forest, where there was a path full of mud showing them the way in the forest.
No one had said a word since the beginning of the trip. Ryu had not slept well last night because of how uncomfortable the bed was, so he took the chance to sleep in the carriage, while Hina and Ryoto were left in an awkward atmosphere.
'Such a beautiful visage... I have to start the conversation, but what am I gonna talk about,' Ryoto started thinking about how to abord a conversion with Hina.
"This young disciple greets Council Master," Ryoto suddenly said.
"No need to be so formal, just call me Hina," She replied with a disinterested expression.
"Oh um... well my name is Nagaoko Ryoto!"
"Yeah... but tell me, why is your qi so different, so sinister dark... It reminds me of dark spiri- of a dark monster I encountered," Hina said this time looking straight at Ryoto.
'How did she find out... I didn't even use or concentrate on my qi, she isn't a COuncil Master for nothing,'
"My qi is not yang qi, but it's dark qi... but people don't want to tell me why I have such a qi, so it's still a mystery to me,"
Hina sensed his aura and figured that he was not lying.
"Well, you gotta figure out at one point..." Hina said turning her head to look out of the carriage and contemplate the wild forest.
Their journey continued as they passed through the forest, and arrived at a tall and imposing mountain. The mountain is called the Yang qi mountain because it has a great flow in qi.
"Disciple, how long will it take to get there?" Hina said.
She was getting tired of having to sit in a carriage for so long.
"This disciple informs you that sect is found just on the other side of the mountain,"
Hina crossed her legs and arms and gave out a big sigh, "I'm so tired of this carriage,"
"From what I heard, the sect is as big as two districts mixed," Ryoto said.
"It must be really big then," Hina replied in a disinterested tone.
"I wonder what it looks like however,"
"You're gonna see in a moment or so,"
Ryu who was sleeping with his arms crossed and his head down opened an eye and looked outside to check if they had arrived.
"We still haven't arrived yet?" Ryu said in an exhausted tone.
"It took you quite a while to wake up, was your sleep last night that uncomfortable?" Hina asked tilting her head to look at Ryu.
"It was fucking horrible, the bed was too tiny for me, and the mattress was as hard as a rock,"
"You're just weak," Hina declared.
"No, I'm not!"
"Then how did Ryoto manage to sleep so well then?"
Ryu turned his head to Ryoto, "Tell her how uncomfortable the bed was!"
Ryoto scratched his head and let out a slight laugh, "well I slept quite well last night, I don't know what you're talking about,"
Hina smiled and stared at Ryu, "You see, you're just weak that's all, the only man in this carriage is Ryoto, you're a fucking pussy,"
Ryu hardened his fist, "I miss the young and innocent Hina..."
"Huh!? What does that mean!?" Hina asked frowning at Ryu.
"That means the old Hina was adorable while today you're just an old granny hidden in a sexy young female body!" Ryu replied.
"You're gonna feel this one," Hina said in a sinister tone while covering her fist in qi.
"Please everyone, just calm down..." Ryoto said trying to calm the tension.
"We're in a carriage if you punch me then you'll destroy the carriage too," Ryu exclaimed fearing that she actually might punch him.
"I don't give a shit..." She replied preparing to punch Ryu.
"Council Master, this disciple asks you to look outside and contemplate the view,"
Hina immediately stopped her actions and peeked outside to see a large and beautiful view. It was the Hijima Sect!
The view was large, and from where they were, they could see large buildings, small ones, people walking along alleyways, parks, farms, etc.
"We've finally got to the Hijima Cultivation Sect!" Ryoto exclaimed.
They descended the Mountain, and it took less time than when they went up the mountain. In less than an hour, they had arrived at the entrance of the Hijima Cultivation Sect.
The entrance was was large, and very elegant, while the wall that extended along both sides was made of stone compacted on shining Dragon Mercure, giving it an elegant and shining look.
In front of the entrance, were three disciples awaiting their arrival.
The carriage stopped in front of the three disciples, and it was easier to identify their faces.
There were two young men, each of them with long black hair, and the same black clothing that Hina, Ryoto, and Ryu had. In between, them was a beautiful and elegant woman with long brown hair.
Just like Hina, she had a white hanfu cloak, this time, however, with the writings Profound Master.
"This profound Master salutes you," the woman bowed to Hina, "my name is Hisakawa Ina, and if Council Master finds no inconvenience, I will be bringing her guide to visit the sect,"
"I'll see you later Ryu," she said as she smiled at him, "alright, let's get going then,"
Hina and Ina were both escorted in another bigger carriage which brought them into the sect.
Ryu and Ryoto were left alone with two disciples that were looking at them with menacing expressions.
"You two, let's get going," one of the disciples declared as they both started walking in the sect.
The sect was big, and there were many luxurious stands in the street they were passing by. The decoration in the sect was sweet and in harmony. There was no building that had any other color than dark blue and stripes of grey.
The walls and streets were elegantly painted in a light grey which made it seem like silver.
After about 15 minutes of walking and admiring the place, they ended up in a place where most of the buildings were houses. Each of the houses was identical having a grey-colored wall, and a dark blue roof with a brown smooth wooden door. The only difference with the houses were metal plaques on the side of the door which gave the name of each of the residents in the house. In this place, there were way more disciples, girls, and boys of any age less than 20.
The two guides then stopped in front of identical houses. Next to the and turned to Ryoto and Ryu.
"Normally, two people that know each other are not allowed to live in the same house according to the sect rules, however, it was strictly demanded by the Grand Master, so we had no choice. In the house, you will see two manuals on each of the beds indicating the gesture to make when in presence of an elder, or a higher ranked.
We expect you to read it this night, and memorize everything in the manual. This is not a choice but an obligation that you must respect,"
The two disciples then left giving each of the boys a key to the house. On the side of the house on the metal plaque, their names were written.
Ryu smiled as he looked at his name written on the metal plaque.
"I guess that makes us official sect disciples of the Hijima Cultivation sect,"
