" Chen'er , you're getting better at cooking..."
Fang An smiled broadly seeing the breakfast made by Xiao Chen , using the simple ingredients available , Xiao Chen made a dish that was full of flavor and delicious . Indeed as far as Fang An could see , the kitchen was Xiao Chen's second favorite place to spend his time .
" Master praises you too much ... " Xiao Chen smiled broadly , he really wanted Fang An to be able to enjoy more delicious food while in the sect . Xiao
Chen knew that Fang An was very simple in many things including food causing him to not enjoy life well throughout his life .
" Chen'er there is something teacher wants to tell you , it seems like your training really has to be postponed ... "
After breakfast Fang An explained that he would leave the Hundred Sword Valley in two days for the Capital and be there for some time . Fang An did not explain that it was related to the struggle for the throne between the princes because he thought Xiao Chen could not understand it yet .
Fang An then also explained about the land where they lived, "The world we live in is known as the Central Continent, there are three empires and seven countries that share the territory of this Continent..."
Fang An explained that each Empire and Country has its own policies and rules, some are the same and some are different. The existence of a government aims to ensure that the people who live in it get a good and orderly life.
The Three Empires control most of the land, while the seven countries have a much smaller area than each empire but still have great power when compared to a sect.
The three Empires are the Tang Empire, the Han Empire and the Wei Empire. The Valley of Hundred Swords itself is located in the Han Empire, which is the smallest Empire among the three existing empires.
The martial world of each Empire and Country also stands alone, but the martial world is never separate from the government, especially those from the white school.
The white school sect always supports the government where they are because these sects also need the military power of the local government to survive.
The martial arts world in any Empire and Country has one thing in common, namely at least 70% of the martial arts world members are members of the black or heretical sect. It cannot be controlled if basically when humans have great power they want to prioritize their personal desires.
"Master will leave some items that will help you strengthen your body ..." Fang An then took out several small wooden boxes and also a piece of paper, "You must consume them according to
this note."
Xiao Chen was a little surprised, all that Fang An gave were precious plants and medicines. Although the efficacy of these items was far inferior to Water Ginseng, they were still of high value to many warriors, especially if used for a 6 year old child like him.
"The three pills from Senior Lin are still kept by the teacher because it is not time for you to consume them, the pills will be useful when you start to form inner strength." Fang An's message.
Fang An thought it was better to provide resources that helped Xiao Chen's physical development and stamina first. Actually, Fang An's actions made Xiao Chen worried.
" In his previous life, Master Fang had always lived a simple life because all his income from completing missions and also his family's inheritance were used to treat his internal injuries... To get all this, he must have used his own medical expenses." Xiao Chen was so touched by Fang An's actions that he wanted to tell Fang An that he had a lot of Water Ginseng.
If Xiao Chen could sell the Water Ginseng that he had, Fang An would not have to worry about his medical expenses anymore and might even be able to buy medicine that could completely cure Fang An's internal injuries.
" Why are you crying Chen'er?" Fang An was shocked when she saw Xiao Chen starting to shed tears.
" Disciple will not disappoint Master..." Xiao Chen kowtowed to Fang An before accepting all the boxes.
" There is no need to feel that way, all these resources are nothing special." Fang An smiled gently, feeling proud that his disciple was so devoted.
Xiao Chen did not answer Fang An , he only made a resolution in his heart , " Teacher Fang , I hope teacher can be patient for a few more years . Disciple promises to definitely cure teacher completely . " Xiao Chen only dared to be more open after he had enough ability to protect himself .
Xiao Chen also reminded Fang An to be careful while he was there .
" I will only go be how long, with the Sect Leader around, I can only say that I am just looking around."
Fang An chuckled before explaining that Jiang Kun was a very powerful figure, a hundred people like Fang An were no match for Jiang Kun so there was nothing for Xiao Chen to worry about.
Xiao Chen knew that all of that was not entirely true, the struggle for the throne between the princes of the Han Empire this time was very different from usual because one of the princes who wanted to become Emperor had the support of the black sect.
As far as Xiao Chen could remember, the Han Emperor invited four Sect Leaders like Jiang Kun to stop the prince's ambition. Jiang Kun would stay in the Capital for three years until a new Emperor was elected from one of the princes other than the prince who conspired with the black sect.
Jiang Kun brought ten Sword Elders with him who would switch places every few months. For the next three years all the important decisions of the Hundred Sword Valley fell into Wang Ergou's hands, which was why Xiao Chen was very careful and hid his talents considering that Wang Ergou always made things difficult for Fang An.
" If there is no change then there is something I need to prepare for something that will happen in a few months . " Xiao Chen began to think about his training to quickly become stronger .
Fang An spent the next two days resting more while telling Xiao Chen many things about the martial world . It was clear that Fang An hoped that her story would increase Xiao Chen's desire to learn
martial arts .
" You ! How are you here ?!"
On the day of departure , Jiang Kun came to Bamboo Sword Villa to pick up Fang An . Jiang Kun did not expect to see Xiao Chen sweeping the yard . Xiao Chen was equally surprised to see Jiang Kun , he rushed over to Jiang Kun .
" Sect Leader , please do not tell Master Fang about our previous meeting . . . " Xiao Chen put on a pleading face .
Fang An was still packing his things so he did not know Jiang Kun's reaction when he saw Xiao Chen .
There were actually many things Jiang Kun wanted to say to Xiao Chen, but seeing that Xiao Chen was part of the Hundred Sword Valley and even a disciple of the most talented person in the history of the sect, Jiang Kun felt that he could accept Xiao Chen's request for the time being.
"Young man, you owe me an explanation when I return from the Capital." Jiang Kun said as he pinched Xiao Chen's cheek lightly.
Xiao Chen only smiled awkwardly, Jiang Kun clearly did not realize that his journey would last for three whole years.
