Chapter 8 - Return

Two springs passed since Yantu's teacher left for meditation to break through the next stage. She was powerful but still she had to leave because of some people.

He could not protect her and couldn't stop her either. Therefore he decided to become strong. Strong enough to protect her from everything.

He took the deal of the man who was a master of evil cultivation. The man knew that the strand of evil energy was residing in him and therefore there was no person perfect other than Yantu to learn his technique. He was the last master and last person who had the knowledge of evil cultivation.

But Yantu only agreed on one condition. He was going to learn from him but he was not going to become his disciple. Only Gege had the right to be called his teacher and only she had the right to call him disciple.

Two springs passed and he was speedily learning but he also learned to control his aura. No body knew about his power or level.

He patiently waited for her to return. He knew that she will return safely and he was ready to show what has he become. He wanted her to be proud of her.

Gege walked out of the cave and stretched her body. She was feeling more fresh and relaxed after getting to the next stage.

"Hmm, today the weather is nice. I should have some fried dumplings and sweet rice cakes with red bean paste filling."

She smiled as she did not eat for two years. Even for her those two years were like two hours.

"Ding.

Welcome back host.

Congratulations you have won three points. Now your total score is Twelve."

Gege touched her chin and smiled. Her score was increasing very slow those past years but still there was no negative points.

"Host should remember that the big day is only six months apart."

"Big day." She confusingly asked system as she did not remember any special day.

"Yes, the day when the protagonist will be pushed down the cliff. As after that day the main story of the novel will begin so it's a very big day and..."

"Just say that the day when I will lose everything."

She sighed and walked towards the sect building. She only had six months so it was necessary for her to win the heart of the protagonist. She should act more motherly towards him.

"I wonder what had happened to him. Will he has become more stronger or....."

"Teacher..." She heard an excited voice and saw a boy running towards her. He stopped near her and immediately started crying.

"Teacher, finally you came back. I missed you a lot..."

Gege was overwhelmed by the boy. She lifted her hand and patted his head softly.

"You are still a crybaby Chan." 

She smiled as this was the most loyal disciple of her.

"Teacher, are you hungry. You know I just brought some rice cakes and fried dumplings from the village."

Chan told her while Gege felt like crying. This kid. Now she not only has to protect herself but also this kid.

She again patted his head.

"I guess I can eat something."

"Than I will set the table. Today is a nice day. You should eat in the garden. The garden is filled with flowers and everything is so fresh there."

Chan was speaking non stop making Gege wonder if she could actually eat those things today because by the way he was telling her the stories of everything it seems like she had to wait for a wait.

Chan also realized this and slapped his mouth.

"Me and my big mouth. Teacher you can go to the garden. I will bring you some food."

Chan quickly walked towards the kitchen while Gege walked forward. She was surprised to see that her chamber was as clean as a mirror while the garden also looked beautiful. It seemed like someone was taking care of it with all their heart.

She stopped as she heard some sounds. She looked up and found Yantu practicing sword.

He was wearing the robe that all sect members wear. It was skyblue coloured robe giving it's wearer a gentle and respectful appearance.

She sighed as soon the robe going to change. Soon he will wear a black robe with the mark of evil on his forehead.

Feeling someone's presence, Yantu stopped and turned. He froze at his place seeing the person standing behind him.

For a second, he could not believe if she was there or not.

"T e a c h e r."

He softly called her making her smile.

"Teacher you came." He sounded happy as he walked towards her while Gege lifted her hand to pay his head but the person was fast enough to hug her.

She froze at her place with her hand in mid air.

The person who reached to her shoulder was now at same height as her. 

But it was not the problem. The problem was, the protagonist hugged her. The protagonist hugged the villainess.

She smiled and patted his head.

"Looks like this disciple really missed his teacher."

Yantu realized what he had down and quickly moved away from her.

"It's alright. The teacher also missed her disciples."

Yantu smiled as Gege sat on the bench that was made of a big rock.

Before Yantu could say anything, Chan came running with a tray in his hand. He put the food in front of her while Gege picked the chopsticks. As she started eating, the protagonist only stared at her with eyes full of an unknown emotion.
