Zhang mei's mind was filled with fury as she stormed in lin family .she couldn't believe that they had allowed harm to come to her only disciple. She had put all her time and effort into training and now she was injured because of their carelessness.
she could feel her anger boiling inside her. She will unleash her wrath upon them. she heard a familiar voice calling out to her.
Teacher mei please quell your anger we don't know when and how we offended you .but we are willing to make amends "patriarch's voice sounded from far .elders in tow followed him
Zhang mei replied angry "patriarch I left mei lin in your care . because I believed you would protect her .now she is injured and harmed you still have the face to show in front of me"
"Why didn't you protect my disciple."Zhang mei roared she exuded strong pressure
Many servants and disciples of lin family couldn't able to bear pressure and fell unconscious.
Many elders and patriarch were shocked .
Mei lin was injured .mei lin was harmed .but they didn't knew anything about it .in fact many of them didn't knew where mei lin was .
But in lin family no one would harm her .even outside lin family everyone knew about mei lin 's master . with Zhang mei as a backer .nobody would try to scam her let alone hurt .
"Teacher Zhang there is definitely mistake .mei lin is hope of our family .there is no way we will let harm come to her ."
"But mei lin was emotionally hurt yesterday .could be teacher Zhang talking about it .than we cannot say anything afterall it was teacher Zhang's idea "patriarch lin tao said
"Mei lin was physically harmed and you don't even about it .what type of patriarch you are .today I will rage lin family to the ground.mei lin doesn't need to stay here " her pressure increased some elders also fell unconscious under her pressure .
"You don't have to say anymore ."Zhang mei
She was ready to unleash her wrath upon them.
A familiar voice called her.
'Master Zhang, please wait!'
She turned around to see her disciple running towards her, her face filled with worry and concern.
'Master Zhang, please don't be angry. It was all a misunderstanding,' her disciple hugged and pleaded .
"Elders and grandpa and others didn't do anything wrong.it was my mistake.which is why punished me " master pls don't be angry on them .mei lin pleaded with teary eyes.
On the side patriarch heaved a sigh of relief .good thing he sent steward qiang to bring mei lin.
Zhang mei's anger slowly started to dissipate as she looked into her disciple's eyes.she scanned her up and down .other than signs on her face because of crying .there were no injuries on her body .
Sensing no injury she said .
"Mei lin you are not injured .it's good .but why did I sense that you were injured ."
Than with another thought she added .
"Mei lin where is life preserving talisman I gave you .why can't I sense it on you"Zhang mei asked with serious gaze
Hearing this patriarch on side felt a bad premonition.
"I....that I gave it to brother ."than thinking her master would misunderstand her brother .she added . " I didn't gave to him .I just struck it on brother when he was unconscious " master don't be angry .I will work very hard and listen to you .when I have grown up I will pay you back .
"What"
"What"
Two exclamation sounded
"Mei lin .that thing can't be found everywhere .its not something....that can be wasted ."Zhang mei was about to say .it can't be wasted on mortal trash .looking at her innocent expression she changed her words .
Patriarch was shocked .but coming to his senses he quickly made his decision and sent instructions to his butler.
"Than teacher Zhang does this mean .it's not miss who is injured but young master"steward qiang said
"What brother is injured .where is he " mei lin s expression changed worrying for her brother .
She was ready to meet with her brother .
"Young miss ,your brother is not in residence.in fact he is in forbidden forest and we are helpless to do anything "steward qiang said .
"We don't even know where exactly he is .it is even possible we might never find him ."added steward qiang
"Alas tian had to entered that forbidden forest .which has eaten many lives . nobody who has gone there came out .even I am helpless "lin tao
"Patriarch it's not your fault .it's our family who isn't strong enough to venture into forest .but I worry about young master who knows if he is still alive with leg or hand eaten by some beasts"steward qiang
By now mei lin had started crying .she bawled .
"What happened to brother master .wu wu .injured , handicapped wu wu master you are strong . please look for brother .bring him back " seeing her disciple crying and the play before her .Zhang mei couldn't stay indifferent
"Don't worry .mei lin I will go and look for your brother.don't cry your brother will be alright...might be "Zhang mei
"That's right mei lin we are helpless but your master is strong and mighty .if she looks for your brother.he will definitely be safe "patriarch added
"Hearing this Zhang mei changed her expression.but quickly changed it back again.
"Than teacher Zhang I offer my heartfelt thanks .this old man doesn't have much to offer .our ancestors left many things in treasury .you can ask for any one item from lin family"lin tao promised
After giving something to mei lin
"Than I will leave now " Zhang mei .
*****
In the rhino's lair
The golden talisman had turned into ashes .
Lin tian who was injured gravely before .now looked lot better .his internal wounds had healed .
Woh
Lin tian woke up .he couldn't believe he was alive.he didn't know how but he survived.
But he was hungry .very very hungry.he couldn't describe how much hungry he felt .
If there was chicken and it's family .
Than he would eat it's whole family and chicken .
He sat up from the muddy ground .
A harrumphed sounded
Lin tian quickly(from his pov) stood up and stuck himself to the cave wall in dark Conner .
He noticed a beast near the entrance .no with its massive body it had blocked the entrance.his half body was inside and half was outside .
This beast slept and was making sound randomly.
"Growwwwllll"
His stomach made a sound
Lin tian observed for a while .but beast showed no reaction
Lin tian wanted to eat but there nothing to eat in this cave .
Anyway he had already eaten when he was half concious.but they were really unpalatable.
Without further thought he started eating and picking herbs .at first he wanted salt or spice or sugar .to add some taste .
But in hunger he quickly forgot .whatever herb or grass he got in his hand ended up in his stomach .eveb the half chewed herbs left by beasts were eaten .
Now the empty cave was really empty . without a stalk of herbs.
His stomach was so full .he couldn't move his leg anymore .He cannot even carry his own weight .
Rhino opened his eye .observing the situation in his cave .and the human who had eaten it's food .
It looked at human .
Human looked at it .
They both looked at each other .
"Hhh...how are you "
"Than..ks for looking after me "
"Your food I have eaten .but I will pay you we are friends right "
"It's okay since I am your friend "
Said human something.but it didn't understand
This human had eaten all it's food .he was saving for . instinctively he knew he had to eat those at certain time .that way he will grow .
Empty , everything empty .
This human will give food . bring him to food .
Give him eat food
