Yang Wei stand still not far from them. His mind already messed up since Yang Luoya is close to her. Yang Luoya never smiled at anyone but him before, But what he had seen made him restless. He was afraid his brother would leave him for another woman. without realizing it he had hugged Yang Luoya from behind.
"Yang Wei? What's wrong?", Yang Luoya and Xu Yanran were surprised. Yang Wei didn't answer and keep snuggling on Yang Luoya back.
"It seems like senior was busy, this junior will go first", Xu Yanran left them alone.
"Yang Wei... are you okay? did someone bully you?", Yang Luoya ask with worry. "I'm tired.... i want to spend time alone with you", Yang Wei answered still burry his face on Yang Luoya back. Yang Luoya patted Yang Wei hair and smile softly. Feel his head being patted, Yang Wei look up at Yang Luoya.
"Now that i think about it.... you grow taller than before! your height already reached my shoulder", Yang Luoya said as he stroke Yang Wei hair softly. Felt he's Being patted, Yang Wei smile and hug Yang Luoya tighter. "I exercise regularly and drink tons of milk", Yang Wei grin.
"Good.... keep up your good work and one day you will be as tall as me", said Yang Luoya. "But i want to be taller than you and stronger than you so i can protect you from anything", Yang Wei pouted.
"Alright alright, you win", Yang Luoya sigh. "Why are you still here? sect leader Liu Yong have assigned each new disciple new dorm right?"
"But i want to stay with you"
"I stay at Kirin peak pavilion, unless you're Master Gao Jun direct disciple, you can't stay there", Yang Luoya explained. "Then i will work hard so i can stay with you", Yang Wei stare at Yang Luoya eyes with determintion.
"Do your best at the second examination. The second examination is harder than the first, you might get injured. If you think you can't take it anymore, just give up. I don't want you got hurt", Yang Luoya continue patting Yang Wei's head.
"Don't worry brother, I can't give up but i won't die. I want to become stronger to protect you", Yang Wei smile sweetly. Yang Luoya sighed, "Take a rest for now, save your energy for the second exam", Yang Wei nodded. After a while, Yang Wei finally left.

Yang Wei went to dormitory that had been provided by sect. The dorm is not that big, only enough for two people per room. "this is my room", Yang Wei knock the door and went inside. There's two bed on the side of the room and two desk facing the window. Surprisingly, Ying Feng was inside the room. "Yang Wei? so you're my roommate", said Ying Feng while reading a book.
"This is unexpected... but i'm glad my roommate is someone i know", said Yang Wei as he sit on the other bed. "have you prepared yourself for the second exam?", Ying Feng ask. "Not yet, but i heard the second exam is harder and we could get injured"
"It's true though, i got a little information from few senior disciple", said Ying Feng as he close the book. "in the second exam we will sent into training realm. It's not that dangerous but there's still few low level beast and monster inside. Inside Training realm also grows rare plant and herb, if you're lucky you can find one", Ying Feng explain.
"Is it the same as treasure hunt that our sect held for every few years?"
"Almost the same but different. Those senior disciple didn't tell me about the test objective or danger inside so we have to be careful. Fortunately i found something interesting", Ying Feng smirk. Yang Wei expression become serious as he listen to him.
"Inside glimmering lake live a giant serpent. It's scales can strengthen Thunder elemental core, it's tears can strengthen water elemental core, and it's horn can strengthen earth elemenatal core"
"So many benefit from one beast?", Yang Wei was shocked. "That's not all.... The serpent protected dark red camellia flower at the center of the lake. That flower can strengthen fire elemental power by several fold"
"w-what?"
"that's if you cultivate it though. There's a myth about dark red camellia flower at the center of the lake. The sun god fall in love with the moon god. The moon god ask a sincere gift from the sun god as his token of love. So the sun god cultivate dark red camellia flower at the center of the lake, protected by giant serpent"
"what happen next?"
"The moon god likes beautiful things, so he accepted the sun God gift. Unfortunately, the moon god not aware of the meaning of dark red camellia flower.... by giving the moon god dark red camellia flower.... he means 'I own you' in flower language"
Yang Wei went silent after listening to Ying Feng stories. "Buuuut.... it's just a myth from old book i found at the corner of library, maybe it's not real. Consuming dark red camellia from training realm will give fire elemental core owner great benefit, so who cares about those old myth", said Ying Feng half joking. Yang Wei didn't say anything as if thinking about something.
