Chapter 2 - Blade_2

"You and you! Go there and find out if there's anything!""Y-yes..... Second young master" Those two young men quickly run to the other side of the woods along with their swords."Ha! I have been waiting for this moment, I'll bring a great victory to our sect and nobody has to look down on me anymore!" This young man loudly laughed while eating berries from his servant. He is the least likable scholar for his sect or you can say all of the disciples from those five mountains. Song Jun. Yes, that's him. He is the most spoiled disciple and gets all the attention from his Sect Leader, Master Jianjun. He always flirts with every possible girl he ever sees.A sudden voice came from behind the trees, snickering at Song Jun."You? Yeah sure, sure. Of course, you're going to win, your fates must be on your side, and your brother is one of them, no? You would love to follow in your brother's footsteps, don't you?""Argh.... Why are you even here?" Jun sounded irritated."I'm not here to follow my brother, he annoys me.""You don't even like to be in a battleground, just go on and play with your embroidery, like girls. Hahahaha""And you? At least I have an actual skill. Jun, Jun.... So much pity...." Junling snickers at him with a provoking smirk. Feng Junling is a brilliant disciple from Tai Mountain, where he is the second male disciple. He is a very soft-hearted person but always annoys his one love-hate relationship with Song Jun. They grew up together and they also bicker together. He dislikes being in the battleground as much as the others, but his embroidery skill is no joke. He even has made the finest robe for the Heavenly Maiden. Not only that, his body is flexible and makes all the mortals in Chang'an want to see him dance."Hmmmm....." He was silent for a while."You are planning something aren't you?" Jun was very suspicious of him and asked more questions."You are not usually like this, It's either you want something from me or you want to do it with me. What is it?"Junling smiles softly and admits that he needs something to do with Song Jun."Did you hear about a new boy from Huashan Mountain? I heard he is not a common immortal.""And what is that going to do with me?" Jun asked."Nothing, I just find it interesting that maybe we should go and find out whether the rumor is true or just the word on the street.""If you are not interested, it's fine but the sect's leader would be upset knowing that you are cheating on this test. Despite knowing your reputation, you don't want it to be sunk right?"Junling is manipulating Jun to force him to do what he wants."You-!""Fine, where is this boy?"Junling corners Jun and can't fight him. He just follows the no-good plan that Junling wishes to do. Both of them are walking together through the woods, trying to find the boy who was said to be a peculiar immortal.*****Mengyang is in the woods and taking a deep breath. He is trying to focus on the surrounding situation where he can smell the relics nearby. The unusual smell is in the north, smells like jasmine and plum blossom. Mengyang swung his swords, and all of the leaves were cut down in a five-meter radius. He kneeled while the sword stabbed the ground until it made a crack. Mengyang smirked and knew he had done such a good job because surprisingly he had found the Pure Earth Balm that was planted in the ground. That's it. That was the smell. The legend has it, the Pure Earth Balm is jasmine and plum blossom scented and whoever uses it can prevent smell odors from devils."Yes! The second relic!""It took a while to find you my little guy~~"Meanwhile, the duo that kept walking in the woods just to find the "Odd" disciple, suddenly stopped when they heard a loud thump. They rushed while pushing each other just to find out what it was. While they were observing, that's where they saw..."Is it him?" Song Jun asked curiously."Well, there is just one way to find out." Junling came out behind the trees and the spoiled kid just followed behind him. They approached the boy and seemed to get more interested in him."Wh-who are you...! Are you here to take the relic from me? I swear I will fight you!"Mengyang flinched when the guys were approaching him out of nowhere. He got his sword ready just to fight whoever tried to steal the balm."Easy now.... We just heard a loud thump around here, and it was... you. You did this...?"Junling looked around at the cracked land. He is quite impressed by Mengyang who cut the bamboo leaves by just swinging his sword in unreachable length and made the earth crack by stabbing the ground around him."So... you are him! You are a famous disciple from Huashan! What was it again... Mengyun....?"Song Jun finally spoke after figuring out the boy did not harm him."Huan Mengyang."Mengyang answers coldly while glaring at them sharply with a sword in his hand. He continued the conversation by asking them suspiciously."Who are you guys anyway? Which sect are you from?"Song Jun proudly presented himself as a disciple from Lushan and the same goes with Junling from Tai."Song Jun... and Feng Junling... you guys are a famous duo throughout the mountains! I've heard about you guys. Is it true, you have fought 25 devils from the mortal world?""Yes, that's true. I'm surprised the news has spread to Huashan too."Junling chuckles softly, reacting to Mengyang's sudden change of expression."I apologize for my behavior earlier, I was not sure how to act in front of new people. It has been an honor to meet you Senior Song Jun and Senior Feng Junling"Junling chuckles softly."It's fine, I have found all five of the relics... I'm just killing time around here.""R-really?! I just found two of them... it is truly said you are one of the best disciples."Mengyang frowned a little bit, but he knew he couldn't beat the experienced seniors of the disciples.The three of them had a pleasant conversation, this was the first time Mengyang had made a good laugh. Of course, he has before but the fun always gets cut out by the Sect Leader who is strict and uncompromising. They walk together through the woods, while Mengyang finds his three relics until Song Jun stops them."Do you hear them? We're not alone here..."Junling scoffs when he hears that question."There are hundreds of disciples in the woods, of course, we're not alo-"He got cut off when he realized something flying quickly above them. Mengyang is no different; he immediately got his sword ready after smelling something unusual surrounding them. That's it. Demons and devils started to surround them. They are either in smoke form, human form, or animals.
