*Ssssss*
An imaginary hourglass poured nonstop inside the minds of these Geniuses distracting them from thinking.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Only three more minutes!!! They were beginning to panic.
What does he really an by Who are you?!? Is he asking who I am inside my heart? My true nature? Who I want to be? They racked their brains trying to figure out the most profound answer they can possibly think up.
I am Han Yixue, a small voice spoke.
?!?!? The people there were shocked away by such a simple answer.
Soone actually dared to answer with their na! Who is that?! I dont recall anyone with such a na within us! They all thought and looked around.
You
They were all dumbfounded as the blind girl walked towards them.
I am Han Yixue, she repeated and then continued, My mother was Han Ming, and my father is Guo Dai, the current head of the Guo Family. I am 17 Years Old with no remarkable talents. My mother died when I was only 7 Years Old, and before she had died, everybody in the family hated her saying how she was a slut. Yes, my mother used to work as a prostitute, but that did not stop my father from taking her in as his concubine. He said it was because he loved her, and that was all it mattered. However, after my mother had died, he stopped caring about and even turned a blind eye when the mistress robbed my na that was given to by my mother--- and after robbing my identity, she robbed my--- my sight, she took a breather.
... The surrounding people looked at her with wide eyes. She had that kind of history?! But they were told that she had her na removed because she had committed a grave cri within the Family. Then what about her sight? Why did they rob that too?
After removing my na and robbing my sights, the mistress spread a rumor that stated it was all punishnt for the cri that I had committed. She never ntioned about what the cri I had committed was, but my cri was--- I had eyes that were too beautiful for soone like , the daughter of a slut to have--- was what she told . I have never seen my eyes before, but that was the cri I had committed that caused my eyes to be slashed by a sword
..............
The people hearing that could not believe her story! That was the reason why she had her na and sights removed?! All because her eyes were too beautiful for her?! All because of one's Jealousy?!
Sir, I want to study under you not because I want revenge, but because I want to make my mother proud. That is who I am--- Han Yixue, her fists were clenched so tightly that it was bleeding from her nails impaling into her skin!
...
Tian Yi stood there in silent.
So you do have a na after all, he finally said with a gentle smile.
...
Okay, tis up. These of you who couldnt answer the question, Im sorry, but it looks like we were never destined to be together as Master and Disciple, Tian Yi began walking towards the exit.
?!?!?!?
The people who could not answer due to Han Yixue taking up all the ti had their minds thrown into chaos.
Wait! Huang Li stepped forward and shouted, Thats not fair! She took up all the ti, so we couldnt answer even if we wanted to! Senior, how can you---
What Senior?! Do I look like an old man to you?! I am only 18 Years Old! He turned back and yelled louder than usual.
!!! Huang Li took a step back from fright.
Hmph, I gave you so much ti, but you couldnt even answer such a simple question, and you have the guts to say it wasnt fair?! He said before turning back around to leave.
..... The crowd was stunned! What simple question?! That was the most profoundly thought up question they have heard of to date!
W-wait! Sir! What about the two of us who answered your question? Who answered it correctly? The first one to answer said anxiously.
Hm? Ah, Ill co by to pick you up later, He answered.
Who? The man asked again.
Who knows. If I dont show up in front of you two by the end of today, then neither of you passed.
*Whoosh*
Senior Cheung, Senior Yuming, Ill head back to the hotel now, Tian Yi took a leap and flew away carrying ng Xiang.
Yu Yue and Yan Yan also followed.
...... Xuan Cheung and Xuan Yuming stood there with a stupefied face.
So we still dont know if we passed yet?! What the hell! What will I do if you dont show up?! Does that an I failed?! Fuck! The man cursed inside his heart.
... Han Yixue stood there silently and watched Tian Yi fly away with worrying eyes.
*****
Master! I am back, what did you want to talk to about? Tian Yi called out after arriving back to the hotel they were staying in.
Im in my room, co in, Xuan Wanshan replied with a soft voice.
Excuse , He walked in to see her standing near the window watching the sunset with a calm face.
Closing the door, he stood there waiting for her to begin.
Tian Yi, do you know why I called you here? Xuan Wanshan began speaking.
Because of my display this morning at the Pill Contest? He answered.
That too, but no, She turned to look at him with a complicated expression.
... He was a bit confused. What else was there?
Tian Yi I no longer want you as my Disciple, so starting now, I am not your Master, she said with a calm face.
?!?!?!?!?!? Tian Yis mind was thrown into a vortex, and he stood there in shock.
W-Why?! W-Was it because of what I did this morning? If so, then I will promise you that I will never do anything like that ever again! He said with a panicking voice.
No, it has nothing to do with your actions today. What you had done today has only made realize sothing I should have long ago--- No, maybe I did, but I just did not want to accept it.
Then why?! He shouted with emotion.
Tian Yi, when it cos to cos to Talent, you are the best Ive seen in this World, and as your Master, I should be glad to have a Disciple with so much Talent, and I am. However, when it cos to Cultivation, you are already so far ahead of that I will never be able to catch up Ever since you revealed your Cultivation to , I already knew that my role as your Master would not work out. However, even with that, I still forced myself to believe that it will work out and that I will find sothing to teach you, Xuan Wanshan said with an expression full of disappointnt, but it was not towards Tian Yi, but herself. She was disappointed in herself for not being able to guide him properly.
... Tian Yi stood there with his words stuck in his throat.
Did you know She continued, Did you know how happy I was when I found out that you were not talented in Pill Making--- that you were not perfect? I know, its was horrible of , your Master, to be happy after finding out my Disciple was not talented in sothing But you know what, Tian Yi? I was happy--- happy that there was finally sothing I could teach you, my Disciple, and fulfill my role as your Master even if was sothing small. I had planned on studying about Pills and Pill Concocting when we got back to the Sect, but But after your actions--- after seeing your Divine Flas this morning, I have to admit sothing even if I do not want to--- Tian Yi, I am not worthy enough to be your Master, nor will I ever be, tears began appearing in the corners of her eyes.
... Tian Yi watched with wide eyes as tears rolled down her beautiful face. These tears were unnaturally large as if it contained many feelings within it.
B-But what about life? I may not need guidance when it cos to Cultivation and Pill Concocting, but I still have a lot to learn about Mortals and their common sense So--- He said with a trembling voice.
Dont Dont try to convince by making it seem like I am worthy to be your Master. It is only making feel worse about myself, so stop it. This is sothing I have decided, and sothing I will follow through, she said as she stared at him with eyes full of resolution.
Then what about your promise?! You promised that you would never abandon no matter what! Are you breaking your promise?! His eyes started turning red. He was angry at the fact that she was breaking her promise! The Spirit Power within him has already begun raging, but he suppressed it with the tiny bit amount of trust that he had left in her.
That promise, I will not break, Xuan Wanshan said as her body started falling.
*Thud*
Her knees were touching the ground along with her forehead kissing the cold, wooden floor.
She was kowtowing!
???? Tian Yi was taken aback from her actions.
Tian Yi I know this is unreasonable and very selfish of after all that Ive said, but--- she looked up at him still with wet eyes.
Please, accept , Xuan Wanshan, as your Disciple! She shouted with a clear voice.
?!?!?!?!?!?! Tian Yi stood there with confusion and shock. Even with his intelligence, he was unable to process what was going on! She had just disowned him as her Disciple, but not even a second later she was asking him to accept her as his Disciple?!
Teaching you about life and common sense does not require to be your Master! I can teach you that as your Disciple just fine! She said.
... He did not know how to answer her!
Tian Yi, I know this is crazy, but I cannot think of any other ways to do this without breaking my promise--- No, this has nothing to do with the promise! I want to continue traveling around with you just like Ive been doing! I want to experience more shocking things from you! I want to be there with you when you cause more trouble in the future! I want to be--- with you! I want to continue doing all these things with you--- however, I am not strong enough to do these things as your Master, so let do it as your Disciple I-I am even willing to beco your servant if you wish, she said everything that was on her mind. She knew she was being very selfish. She knew she was being unreasonable. She knew--- she knew, yet she still wanted to stay with him.
... Tian Yi rubbed his temples.
I guess this is the extent of my experience with having a Master I knew it wouldnt last forever, but I didnt know it would end so fast, not to ntion it being like this Ahhh, what do I do now? He looked at the still kowtowing Xuan Wanshan and racked his brains trying to figure out the best answer just like what the Pill Master geniuses had done a while ago when trying to answer his question.
...
...
...
After a long mont of silence, he finally spoke, Only, and only if you accept one condition. If you do, then Ill accept you as my Disciple. Forget about being my servant thatll only make things more complicated. If you do not, then I will I will erase all of your mories from the mont you t to now, including your parents. Do you accept? He was still having complicated thoughts, but hell see how this works out as he has really enjoyed his ti with her. Although this will make their relationship a bit complicated, itll work out with ti--- is what he was hoping.
I accept! Xuan Wanshan said without thinking.
You did not even hear the conditions
I do not need to, she replied.
I will still say it because I do not want you to feel cheated later. You will treat the sa way as you have always been treating . Just thinking about you calling Master sends chills down my spine. Do you agree? He said.
So I cannot call you Master? Its a bit weird to call ones Master by their na---
Then Ill erase your mories right now, he did not go easy on her.
Ill accept! She replies without thinking.
Good, but what do we do about the Master and Disciple ceremony? How does that work? He asked.
S-Since we already did it, we do not have to do it again. Even if we did, only our speaking roles would be changed, she still rembers the feeling of his blood entering her and does not want to have such feelings in such a situation.
I understand. Then lets just do it informally, Tian Yi said.
Un. Xuan Wanshan nodded and stood back up before walking in front of him.
*Thud*
She kowtowed again and said, Disciple Xuan Wanshan, pays respect to her Master!
Tian Yi shivered when she called him Master, but he did not say anything as this is a ceremony.
Un. I, Tian Yi, have received your greetings. Stand up!
Yes, M--- Tian Yi, she stood back up.
Due to this sudden developnt, both of us will need to ti to digest it. Go rest for today; I still have another Disciple to accept today, he sighed before leaving the room in a hurry.
... Xuan Wanshan stood there with a dumbfounded face. He just accepted her as his Disciple, and hes already heading out to pick up another one? Since when did that happen?
Ahhh, what will our future be like after today? She lays down on the bed to digest what had happened today while also preparing herself for the future.
*****
...
...
...
Yu Yue, Yan Yan, and ng Xiang silently watched as Tian Yi lay face down on the bed.
He has been like this since he ca back. What happened to him? Yu Yue was worried.
Its better just to wait it out until hes willing to tell us Yan Yan thought.
Big Brother, did sothing happen with Sister Xuan Wanshan? ng Xiang asked him out loud.
!!!!!! Yu Yue and Yan Yan snapped their head at her with shock and disbelief.
She said it! They cried inside their heart.
... Tian Yi continued to lay there silently.
Seeing how he was acting, even ng Xiang understood that she should leave him alone for now.
ng Xiang, co over here, my head hurts Tian Yi suddenly called her out.
Coming! She jogged over to where he was laying down.
I feel a sudden urge to hug sothing, so if you dont mind, can I hug you for a bit? He asked with a muffled voice.
?!?!?!?!?! Yu Yue and Yan Yans jaw dropped.
ng Xiangs eyes went wide from shock and stood there silently for a minute before answering, Of course! Her eyes had glittered with happiness before she jumped on the bed.
Tian Yi turned sideways to hug her like a pillow and said in a low voice, ng Xiang, my Master, Xuan Wanshan just disowned as her Disciple
Huh?!?!?!?!? The three girls could not believe their ears. His Master disowned him?!
Killing intent appeared within Yan Yans eyes, I knew it! To cause so much pain to Master, Ill slaughter you when I get the chance! She thought.
Yan Yan, stop it. She has her reasons, and I cannot say that I do not understand them. It was selfish of from the start to accept a Mortal as my Master just for experience without taking her feelings into consideration. How would you feel if I asked you to beco my Master, Yan Yan? He knew what she was thinking.
T-Thats She could not answer him, but it was not because she didnt know the answer.
Right? Thats how shes feeling right now, so do not bla her. Well, shes my Disciple now, so I cannot let you harm her either way He suddenly said.
WHAT?!?!?!?! They could no longer hold in their shock and cried out.
I know, crazy right? This is why Im having such a headache. Ahhhh, I need to organize myself before accepting my next Disciple He no longer spoke and continued to hug ng Xiang with his eyes closed.
Yu Yue stood there with an amazed expression, Hes really going to accept a Disciple from them? And to two of them in one day...
.............. Yan Yan was so shocked that she couldnt even think properly.
Hehehe, ng Xiang giggled inside her heart as she enjoyed being hugged by Tian Yi.
... The room had turned dead silent.
