Another day ,more training.
Since mofang ni had been hurt he'd had a reason to skip training .But now he was almost healed he could start training again but he was told not to damage his stitches in any way he could.
And this wasn't the first time he'd been in this situation, so he knew he would at least open his stitches a few more times ,do to the painful training shizun put him through. It was painful but it wasn't like shizun cared any way.
"Mofang ni get up!! "
"5 more minutes... Nghhh"
He often over slept and was used to this by now, shu Dian had come to tell him to get the hell up or he'd be late to practice. So mofang ni rolled out of bed and got dressed ,walking lazily to the bamboo forest next to shizuns manor. Shizun was supposed to use the court yard near the disciples rooms but he said " its dirty and loud " witch was true it was loud but dirty I mean it's training should we really care if we get dirty or not .
Shizun has always been like this if somethings even a little dirty he won't even go near it and ends up getting mofang ni to clean it.
Witch sounds surprising because of the way his room looked the other day.
"Shizun I'm here! "
As he walked he came to a clearing in the bamboo it wasn't to big but it was big enough for the 4 of them and mofang ni wouldnt be training anyway because the grand masters wife said that his wounds could open very easily and that he should be carefull.
"Finally what took you so long"
Shu dians temper was bad as always.
"I was getting ready, it takes a while and my stitches re-opened near the bottom again "
He had also needed to get new bed sheets because he had bleed all over them in the night while he was sleeping. Not that he had slept much at all.
"Come now let's train you two"
Shu Dian and Hao difang trained using swords they had gotten when they first came here like everyone else, they weren't allowed to name them because it was 'bad luck' to do that before you turn 16 witch all shizuns students are only 14 so they got these plain old swords.
He watched them dual and listen to shizun teach them about demons and spirits. Mofang ni wanted to join and fight against shu Dian but he would definitely open his stitches again.
"That's enough for today, I have news for you three about your first missions"
"First missions!? "
Shu Dian almost broke shizuns ears with the way he screamed that.
"They will be happening tomorrow and because there's only 3 of you, you will be going together"
First missions were like the start of a persons real journey into cultivation it meant they were going to be put into a real senerio by them selves.....
"I'll be coming with you "
Or... Not
Well either way mofang ni wanted this. It was his once in a life time opportunity to show his worth to shizun.
That night mofang ni tryed to sleep but ended up non-stop thinking about the mission .This was amazing he could fight and use his sword. It would be a lot of traveling and fighting and he would probably be tired after but it was worth it for the experience.
He was so excited he ended up opening his stitches again but he couldn't tell shizun because he'd probably take mofang ni off the mission.
The next morning mofang ni got up after a sleepless night and got ready early as there was nothing better for him to do . even he was faster then shizun getting ready. He sat down on a rock yawning by the time shizun came.
"Mofang ni? "
"Oh... 'Yawn' good morning shizun"
"Why are you up this early"
"I couldn't sleep but I'll be fine "
"I'll hire a carriage for us then"
Shizun was so stubborn mofang ni didn't even try to fight against his idea of getting a carriage.
"Thank you shizun"
Soon after Hao difang and shu Dian came. All of them together didn't bring a lot as it was only a 4 day trip.
Shizun filled then in on what the mission was before they set off.
"You guys will be going to a village called fuo ji village it's a 2 day trip there and 2 days back so we won't be gone long as you know this mission will have some fighting but that's why I'm here we have had a report that theres a spirit making people see others as there lover"
Mofang ni already knew that shizun had been forced into this he hated anything to do with lovey stuff. And this sounds like that people were having lots of accidental affairs.
Shizun continued
"Since it's a 2 day trip there and some of you seem to have not gotten a lot of sleep last night I have decided we will take a carriage to the first village about half way to our destination"
He said that sleep part while looking mofang ni dead in the eyes ... Creepy.
They were on there way as soon as they had payed for an expensive carriage. Shizun was way to rich for being a teacher. His family must be wealthy if he can get this type of carriage that even pulled by 3 horses!
Shu Dian sat on one side with Hao difang
While shizun sat next to mofang ni with there backs turned to the horses.
They sat in silence most of the way there only talking if one needed to. At least they had tea.
But this was definitely going to be a long trip.
By the time they made it to a near by inn at the half way point to fuo ji village it was already dark and although this inn was small it would definitely be nice to relax for a bit after the bumpy all the way here.
The Inn had 2 storys and only had a couple of rooms about 12 from what mofang ni could see even if it was small the inn definitely looked expensive at least shizun was paying and not mofang ni.
"Hello may we have 4 rooms "
"I'm sorry sir but we only have 2 rooms left it's been busy since that village fuo ji had the cheat ghost in town, every one had been leaving- "
"We will just take the two rooms then"
"Oh right yes the rooms are just up there on the left at the end of the hall that will be 25 gold coins please"
25 gold coins! This is a rip off they shouldn't be this pricey.
They went up stairs and then the question came up who would be with who?
"I'm not going with shizun"
Damn shu Dian said it first.
"B-but-"
"It's settled then mofang ni you will be with me you 2 go get ready we will be going to a hot spring in a bit "
Mofang ni wasn't the only one who didn't like this. Xiao yazi didn't want to have to share a room at all but there wasn't much he could do about it.
"There's only one.... Bed "
Mofang ni could see now why it was 25 gold coins but there was only one bed in these rooms. He would have to sleep on the flo-
"You sleep on the bed I won't sleep tonight any ways and you need the sleep more then I do"
"Shizun! "
Shizun shot him a cold stare
"Alright... "
