Chapter 10 - Conversation

Dang Zai and the sect master arrived at the building, both of them went inside. Nan Heng was about to step in, when.

"Stop, only him can enter."

Ning Yan stopped Nan Heng from coming inside the building, She blocked Nan Heng with her sword. Dang Zai walk to Ning Yan, wanting to talk to her.

"Just go, i'll stay here."

Nan Heng look at Dang Zai with a serious look. Dang Zai then nodded, he then went inside with the sect master. Nan Heng then sat down beside Ning Yan. He was leaning against the sect building wall, while still holding his staff.

'Might aswell rest for a bit.'

Nan Heng slowly close his eyes, relaxing all of his body. He then fall asleep.

'He's sleeping?'

Ning Yan was confused, how could someone just fell asleep like that.

'He just let his guard down like that? Is he not afraid of me attacking him while he was sleeping?'

Ning Yan was still feeling the evil aura coming from him. But still, she remember what the sect master told her about. To not judge a person so fast.

'I will keep my on him, until i determine he is good or not.'

Ning Yan was still looking at Nan Heng, while Nan Heng just sleeping.

***

The sect master brought Dang Zai into a room. The room was filled with many flower.

"This room is really beautiful right?"

"It is.."

The sect master looked at Dang Zai and gave a slight smile. The sect master grabbed one of the flower.

"Haha, it truly is. Just like Daedalus flower sect."

Dang Zai quickly reached for his dagger, Lowering his body down.

"How do you know?"

The sect master smiled.

"Young man, this old man have been live for so long. Of course i know about it."

The sect master chuckled.

"I was once from there aswell."

The sect master look to the ceiling, feeling a nostalgic sensation.

"You were once a Daedalus flower sect disciple?"

"How's Dang Bai?"

Dang Zai widen his eyes hearing that name.

"You know... my grandfather?"

"You're his grandchild?"

The sect master also widen his eyes.

"Uhm uhm, yes i know your grandfather."

'To think that bastard have a grandchild, fuck i thought our promise was to be virgin for life. Dang Bai you fucker!'

Dang Zai look confused, as he saw the sect master expression in his face.

"Uhm anyway, what bring you to Changdu? Tianqin town is quite far from here if i recall."

Dang Zai fell silent,

'Should i tell him about our goals here, or should i just lie.'

He was thinking, what would be better for him. Telling the sect master his goal, or just keep it a secret.

After a while, Dang Zai finally came up with an answer.

"We're here... to recruit people."

"You guys are recruiting people to join your sect? Is that what it is?"

"Yes."

"Are you really trying to recruit people in my sect territory?"

The atmosphere around Dang Zai changed, pressuring Dang Zai.

'So this is the power of a sect master.'

'I must stay strong, i must overcome it, i must withstand it. Because... i will become one in the future!'

Dang Zai stood his ground, not moving a single body. He stood completely still, enduring the pressure the sect master giving him.

'Impressive, as expected from Dang Bai's grandchild.'

The pressure continued for a few minute, before the sect master finally let go of it.

"Haha! You're impressive. You have potential young man!"

The sect master laughed as he grabbed Dang Zai shoulder. Dang Zai stayed silent, he almost collapsed. If the sect master just pressure him for another minute he definetly would've collapsed.

"Ah, yes."

"Oh, yeah i forgot to ask you something."

"Yes?"

"Is Dang Bai... already dead?"

"..."

Dang Zai remained silent, not saying a word.

"I see."

The sect master understood, judging from Dang Zai expression.

"Well, i was hoping to meet him for the last time, look's like that won't happend."

"..."

Dang Zai still remained silent.

"... he, enjoyed the rest of his life."

The sect master look at Dang Zai, while widening his eyes.

"I see. Thank's for letting me know."

The sect master smiled at Dang Zai.

"Right, you can recruit people here if you want, i don't mind."

"Our sect is already full of people, no need to recruit more people here. You can do what you like."

"Thank you."

Dang Zai bowed down his head. The sect master smiled.

"Let's talk more about your grandfather. I want to know more about him before he died."

"Alright.."

Both of them continued their conversation inside the room.

***

"Ah... that was good sleep."

Nan Heng streched out his arm, he was finally awake. He then looked around, Ning Yan was still there.

'Is she not tired?'

"Hoammm."

Nan Heng moaned, as Ning Yan looked at him.

'Does this guy have no manner at all? Moaning infront of someone?'

"Hey."

Ning Yan quickly looked at Nan Heng.

"Let's have a conversation, i'm bored by all of this waiting."

Ning Yan glared Nan Heng.

"I have no reason to have a conversation with you."

"Why is that exactly? Is it because i have some kind of evil spirit within me?"

Nan Heng taunt Ning Yan by mimicking her voice.

"Isn't it just your imagination or something?"

"Be quiet, if you don't want your tounge to be cut off."

"I have right to speak."

Ning Yan became annoyed, after Nan Heng said that word.

'Huft, calm down, calm down. You're gonna kill this guy if you get angry.'

"Alright, let's have a conversation."

Ning Yan said to Nan Heng, with an unwillingly expression.

"First, of all. What do you mean by evil aura? All this time, i didn't even do anything bad. So why did you feel an evil aura around me?"

'Is he lying? Or he doesn't know?'

"I don't know, i mostly feel an evil aura from a bad person. And im sensing it from you right now."

Nan Heng was confused.

'I didn't even do anything bad. What caused the evil aura around me? Wait...'

"Hey, catch."

Nan Heng throw his staff to Ning Yan. Ning Yan quickly catch the staff.

'Why did he throw his staff to me-'

As she held the staff, she quickly raised her guard dropping the staff. She grabbed her sword sheath.

'This! Evil aura!'

Nan Heng picked up his staff.

'As i thought, it was from this.'

Nan Heng had a thought, maybe the evil aura that was around him came from this staff. Since, Nan Heng just bought it from the store. And he had never done anything bad his entire life.

"Drop that staff."

"I know, that this staff contain evil aura."

"But i can't just put it down and give it to you. I just bought this with all of my silver coin."

"That weapon need to be contained in a safe place, so give it to me now, Or else."

"Yeah, i can't fulfill your wish right now."

"You.."

Ning Yan unsheathed her sword, she then jumped toward Nan Heng.

Clank!

Nan Heng blocked her attack with a foundation barrier. Both of them engaged in a battle.

'This is going to be tough.'
