Chapter 6 - Over five springs

After reaching to the inn where they were staying, Gege looked at the little boy for the last before she could enter her room. The boy looked gloomy making her stop.

"What happened? Are you hurt anywhere?' She asked wondering if he got hurt by the monster earlier but Yantu shook his head.

"Teacher must be feeling disappointed in me." He bowed his head down as he was angry over himself. He got one chance to prove that he can be a good cultivator but he totally ruined it.

Gege laughed and gently patted her head. He was too cute for a protagonist.

"Do not worry about anything. Go and take some rest. You have a long life to learn."

She ooe and the door and entered inside while Yantu touched his head. Teacher just patted his head.

He smiled as his eyes shone bright with courage. He was going to be a great cultivator to make his teacher proud of him.

The next day, both of them came back to the sect. After disabling the OOC feature Gege was much relaxed.

She was ready to make a new story and even people around her noticed the changes in her behavior.

Yandu start getting training from her and hence five springs passed.

Yantu was now fourteen years old with pale complexion and crystal clear eyes. He became taller that now he reaches to Gege shoulder. But still he was obedient to her.

"Teacher, it's time to wake up." Yantu obediently spoke standing near the bed while Gege moved under the covers.

"Five more minutes." He heard a voice as he was hearing the excuse from past an hour. 

"I will bring the water." He spoke and got out of the room. He already shifted to the empty room next to the chamber of the third leader of Hwa sect.

He filled the small pot with water and brought it to the room as Gege was sitting on the bed. She start washing her face while Yantu left the room to brought the breakfast that he made for her.

It was his routine from past four years and only he knew that his teacher can act as a spoiled kid sometimes. 

"Come and eat." Gege invited him while Yantu sat on the other side of table. These days he was having strange dreams in which he could see a man wearing a red gown. He wanted him to learn from him but Yantu was not sure what to do about it.

"Teacher, can I ask you something?"

He asked her while Gge gave him a nod as he moved her hand towards the sweet rice cakes. Yantu was aware of every need of his teacher and he knew how much she loved eating sweet things.

"I wanted to know about evil cultivation. Why everyone is so against it? When we know it's powerful and...."

"No cultivation is evil unless it is used to harm others." Gege told him.

"It's not the power but it's the person who is evil."

"So, can we include techniques of both."

Gege looked at him as something came in her mind. It's been years since she started living her and sometime she will forget about this novel thing and think that it's the original world.

She can not stop Yantu from learning the evil cultivation but it also set an alarm in her.

"Stay away from strangers." She told him as he finished her food.

"But teacher, it's not that those techniques are evil. You said it's the person who is evil and not the cultivation.

Then why there is a ban on learning these techniques and...."

Gege sighed as she did not want to argue with him. No matter what she will do, she is going to die in the end.

"I wanted to be stronger to protect .....others." He replied but could not tell whom he wanted to protect but could only shortly glance at his teacher.

"Then protect your teacher after becoming stronger."

She replied as she stood not knowing that the little disciple was not breathing at all. Yantu smiled and start cleaning the table.

Gege came out of the chamber and found Chan running towards her.

"Teacher,..." He bowed.

"There is... a... fight going on between the disciples of second leader Wei and ...."

"And..." Gege raised her eyebrow as she wanted to know who the other party was.

"Seniors." Chan replied telling that the other people were her disciples. Gege sighed over the childish behavior of the kids and walked towards where Chan told her the fight was going on.

She reached there and found that the leader Wei already reached there and managed the whole situation.

She waited for sometime as the disciples were receiving their punishments.

She soon find out the reason of the fight. She was still on level seven, even though it was a big achievement but after five years she was still on the first stage of level seven.

May be she needed to improve and move to the second stage.

"Senior should not give punishment to those kids." She tried to stop leader Wei but he was still angry on the disciples. She was his junior and he could not let anyone to humiliate her for anything.

Gege wanted to cry internally. This man was too good with her but he was also going to die in the end.

May be she should start working on her skills instead of hugging protagonist's thighs.

"I was thinking of going to meditate to break into the second stage. I hope senior will take care of my disciples until I am gone."

She replied while Wei turned his head towards her as the news was shocking for him. It was not that he did not want her to progress but still two years without her were going to sting him.
