After a while several more cracks appeared on the egg, placing it down gently Lin Yi stepped away slowly "how did it crack this bad, did I accidentally hit it somewhere while working?" asked Lin Yi to no one in particular.
"Who are you asking that question young lady" scared Lin Yi froze in her place, turning around slowly she came face to face with an old man.
"Young lady are you lost? why are you standing like that, are you aware how dangerous this mountain is? the safest place is the peak why don't we go there and I will explain why your egg broke" said the stranger from above the tree.
Slowly calming down Lin Yi cried "Old Man you scared me I almost had a heart attack...! and why do you suddenly fly up the tree" asked Lin Yi after calming down.
"You women are away like this, looking weak but underneath those weak facades
you are all vicious and cruel. who knew you would have injured my with that dagger in your hand" replied the old man.
Looking at her left hand Lin yi figured he was referring to the dagger Madam Su gave her for self defense. finally understanding the situation Lin Yi immediately tried to explain
"No sir you got it wrong I am not a hooligan"
"what is a hooligan" asked the old man in confusion.
Damn I forget the don't use the word hooligans here. now how should I explain...though Lin yi "Oh got it".
Author: Lets try this again.
"No sir you got it wrong, I am not a bandit" said Lin Yi. As she dropped the daggers on the ground, and slowly stepped away from it.
watching her movement the old man was convinced she was not a bandit and thus, decided to help her.
This way young lady though, I don't trust you I will help you out, follow me this way" directed the old man.
After walking for several hours Lin Yi and the old man became friends as the walked around and exchange experiences and stories.
The old man became more comfortable with Lin Yi and hence requested her name.
After a little hesitation Lin Yi replied
"My name is Lin Yi and I am the sixth princess of Swan Kingdom, please may I also know your name sir" pleaded Lin Yi as she stopped before the old man.
"Young lady will you stop calling me sir, I am over one thousand years old, so I prefer you call me Master".
"One thousand years old? is he a dinosaur wow...! people really live long in this era. I wonder how long I will live" thought Lin yi.
Amidst her thoughts she heard a roar from the
forest, frightened she stepped back, immediately a red lion almost the colour of flames, jumped out from the forest nearby looking at her with it's yellow eye.
Ah...! Lin Yi shouted in fear but instead of running down the mountain she ran up as she kept gasping due to lack of oxygen.
After reaching the peak of the mountain, she realized the lion stopped chasing her, confusion joined her face as if fear wasn't enough. suddenly the old man appeared behind her and said "young lady you have passed the test and therefore you are allowed in Snow Mountain, as my disciple".
"What...! I wasn't looking for a master, all I wanted was to train here and cultivate my qi to become stronger" said Lin Yi with a cold face as she answer the old man.
"Young lady I am taking you as my disciple to train you here, I am not going to intervene in your personal live" replied the old man. "by the way what does teens like you know anyway, how boring".
"What...! what did you say just now, I dare you to repeat it you old man...!" cried Lin Yi as she followed the old man to the top of the mountain.
