Empress
Episode 51 - Fu Tong's First Training
In accordance with the orders of Xiao Shi, Fu Tong is currently in the field or what people usually call Taoist College. Fu Tong who was ushered in by Yuan and Feng Yue here felt astonished, it was actually where he was, a place like this the first time he had seen. To his knowledge, there was no place this beautiful and beautiful in the territory of the Zhao empire.
" Feng Yue, Yuan, are you here again?" Chairman Tao who saw the arrival of the two immediately approached, but he saw it seemed like there was someone else with them.
" Diaaa.." he continued hanging his words while looking at Fu Tong from top to bottom.
" Hi, Ah he's a new kid, you have to train him" Feng Yue tried to introduce Fu Tong to Tao.
" The magic is high enough, are you sure you want me to train it? It seemed like he was at the 8th level" the energy felt by Tao was indeed true, his detection science did not miss.
" You're right, shouldn't I need any more practice?" fu Tong said in his arrogant style.
Tao said his smile "Let's see, if Feng Yue and Yuan were to drive you here, it means that this is based on the Empress's orders and it is certain that you will become one of her confidants. Shouldn't you be trained seriously?"
" How are you going to train me with this many people?" Fu Tong pointed towards the thousands of people who were practicing.
" It's my business, you just have to follow my direction young man" Tao said.
" Alright, he's yours. We left first" the two of them said goodbye leaving Fu Tong with Tao there, Tao who saw Yuan's departure and Feng Yue only scratching his head that did not itch. What should he do without anyone he knows.
Tao shook his head looking at Fu Tong's stupid-like behavior. How could he be the Emperor's trust?
" Follow me" Tao took Fu Tong around, introducing and explaining everything in college.
This was the first time Fu Tong had seen the demons here, they had even fought together. What surprised him even more was that it was part of the training, didn't it mean that the demons were under the Empress's control as well? Damnit. Who exactly is the Empress?
Tao took him to a place for him to rest, where he was asked to drink what was in the prepared jug. As soon as the jug was opened, the smell of carnation was the first one he smelled. At first he was about to ask, but because Tao's gaze at him was very unfriendly, so without asking he drank all that was in the jug. There was no taste, just the smell.
" Change your clothes, we'll start training right now" Tao was about to leave Fu Tong, but his steps came to a halt when he remembered something.
" As for the call signal from the Emperor, you won't feel it anymore. Everything is taken care of by the Empress, so you don't have to think about anything, just focus on practicing. I wait for you downstairs in 5 minutes" Tao finally left Fu Tong who was cursing at him, of course Tao knows that, but he didn't want to bother.
A while later, Fu Tong was already in the field with Tao, he saw a woman who was training alone there, his movements were very agile and brave, his sword swing looked like a beautiful dance, and his, but the dance is more correctly named with the death dance. Although the swing is beautiful, but the sword is ready to finish off anyone who is near it.
After getting closer to the death sword dancer, Fu Tong felt like he recognized the girl. His body shape feels familiar to him, wait. That was.......Yanran?!.
" good! Nice one!" Tao gave his cheers and applause to the girl who had ended her death dance.
" Yanran's good work" Tao patted Yanran's shoulder proudly.
" Thank you Master!" he said he saluted by bowing his body.
Yanran who seemed to see someone who felt familiar immediately tilted his head to look at that person.
" Brother Fu Tong!" without a second thought Yanran immediately ran towards Fu Tong and hugged him.
" Where have you been? I haven't seen you in a long time, haven't you missed me?" Yanran took off his embrace and folded his arms in front of his chest while puffing his cheeks.
Fu Tong, whose face had turned red like a tomato, tried to neutralize himself.
" Oh come on, sister. We just met during a celebration at the Empress's residence yesterday. Why are you greeting me now? Isn't that a more appropriate time?"
It was true, the time of celebration was the first time they met after a few years. But Yanran looks ordinary, not like now.
" Ishhh, that's because I'm ashamed of the Empress" Yanran said.
" Are you not ashamed of your teacher now?" Tao who daritadi only saw these two people hugging each other finally spoke.
" Ehee, sorry Master" said Yanran.
" Once, Fu Tong came here to train on the orders of the Empress"
" WHATAA??!!!!!" Yanran who was surprised to hear Tao's words only gawked while looking towards Tao and occasionally towards Fu Tong.
" Since your magic is on the same level, I think it would be better if I trained you all together"
" YESSSSS!" said Yanran and Fu Tong in excitement, they even did hi-five tos.
" Now, prepare yourself to fight with each other" Tao walked towards the side of the field leaving the excited Yanran and Fu Tong who was just gawking.
For Yanran, this is his chance to duel Fu Tong and show that he is better. As for Fu Tong, he couldn't possibly hurt Yanran, and what was this? They're gonna duel? Just be right.
Inevitably, Fu Tong finally agreed to a duel. At this time they will forget their relationship as kaka and sister. Today, they are enemies, this is what Tao says.
Each of them held a wooden sword, with the precepts of the Tao then a duel between Yanran and Fu Tong took place.
Without any hesitation Yanran attacked Fu Tong first, there was no resistance whatsoever from Fu Tong, he was only holding back the attack from Yanran. Such an incident happened for several minutes, until finally Fu Tong looked off guard and Yanran attacked him with all his might.
Fu Tong who felt in vain because he had succumbed precisely his emotions ignited and finally they duel for real. Fu Tong with his emotions attacked Yanran who looked very relaxed handling all the movements of Fu Tong.
The punch, the kick, had already given Yanran several times to Fu Tong. If they dueled using real swords, perhaps now Fu Tong's entire body was already covered with incision wounds.
At the end of the exercise, Fu Tong fell down with various bruises on his body because of Yanran. Automatically, Yanran was the winner of this first duel. Again Yanran paid his respects to Tao before Tao left. After that Yanran carried Fu Tong to his room and treated him.
Yanran was cracking down on Fu Tong carefully, it was even this slow that Fu Tong was still grimacing in pain.
" Ashh why are we so weak? This is how it grimaces like that" Yanran grumbled as he breathed out medicine to smear Fu Tong's wounds.
" So this is what you said? See what you're doing? Ohhh God! I don't even feel my legs anymore" Fu Tong deliberately exaggerated the pain for Yanran to feel guilty. But instead of feeling guilty, Yanran actually demeaned her more.
" How could the Emperor hire a weakling like you"
" Hey! Watch your talk! You don't feel what I'm feeling right now, after all it's you" Fu Tong upset.
" me? I felt it a lot earlier. Do you think because I'm a woman I've never been hurt? I've even been hurt worse than you, brother. I've even fought with those demons while training, you think they have mercy? Of course not "
Fu Tong was surprised to hear that, he thought that because Yanran was a woman, his training was different, but his guess was that there was indeed no difference between female and male training.
" Sorry"
His heart was tight now, guilt was stirring at him. He did not know that Yanran had experienced anything more than this, a beloved daughter of a friend of the previous Emperor now had to experience pain that he could not imagine.
He alone is full of bruises because hit by Yanran, already feel unable to move his body. What is the fate of Yanran by which he is meant more than this? It seems very painful.
Right now, Fu Tong was determined, if in his first day he had already been battered like this, and Yanran had experienced something worse, then he should start with Yanran, in order to protect...
Himself.
" Here, here, I treat your wounds" Yanran compresses the bruised bruises on Fu Tong's body with great painstaking pain, rather than a sister and kaka, they look more like a couple.
' If you knew Yanran, and if I could just say it, I can't lie to my feelings all the time'
