Feng Ying's
96 - Separate Again

"I still can't do it," Feng Ying turned her back to Wang Chen and Wang Feng. "Tell the patriarch, if I have to go."

"No Ying, I'm i-"

"I've heard it. You don't need to tell junior Chen to tell me that."

Feng Ying and the others looked towards the direction the sound was coming from. There was an old man walking towards them from behind the lush bamboo plant not far from them. "Patriarch, are you here? Why?" Said Feng Ying.

"I originally wanted to walk. But I can't believe I saw you in this place. I overheard your conversation." Said patriarch Lao with a faint smile.

"..I understand with junior Ying's wishes. So, I'll let you go. But you are still a disciple of this fire phoenix sect. So do not make trouble, because if you make trouble, then the name of this sect will also carry. You gotit?" Patriarch Lao is serious.

"Did I look like a troublemaker son to you, patriarch?!" Said Feng Ying with her lips.

"You do look like that." Wang Chen and patriarch Lao replied in unison.

Feng Ying looked at the patriarch and Wang Chen took turns. His eyebrows twitched and his mouth looked pouted, "Sucks. Then I'll just go."

When Feng Ying was about to leave, her hand was held back by Wang Chen, "I'm coming along. Patriarch, allow me to come with Ying."

"Chen, I told you-"

"Hoho.. It seems you are very close to junior Ying. Then I'll let you come with him."

"Patriarchs! I'm not asking you to argue or give Chen permission to come with me! After all, he had not been able to take care of himself. I don't want to carry a load!" feng Ying Protest. He forcibly released Wang Chen's hand.

"I wouldn't-"

"That's with me again once you've become strong and can take care of yourself. Find me when you're strong! So are you, Wang Feng."

After saying that, Feng Ying immediately left and disappeared just like that from sight very quickly. Even patriarch Lao himself felt that Feng Ying had a fast speed. Although it could still be seen the movement of the boy by his eyes. But if it was someone else, maybe they wouldn't be able to see the boy's movements or it would be very difficult to do so.

Wang Chen was surprised, as was Wang Feng. "Yin..!! Ying..!!"

Nyawm! Nyawm!

"He's gone. If you want to see him again, then train hard so that you can be strong and take care of yourself. After that, you can travel around the world to find it." Said patriarch Lao while looking at where Feng Ying went.

***

Already this 1 month, Feng Ying left the sect. During that time, Wang Chen and Wang Feng were relentlessly training diligently. They even seem to be pushing themselves too hard. They wanted to be reunited with Feng Ying immediately and when that happened, then they would definitely not be a burden to Feng Ying anymore.

Wang Chen became a disciple of patriarch Lao directly. The patriarch had indeed been interested in Wang Chen since the third exam. So he chose to make Wang Chen his only student. In fact, he was also interested in Feng Ying and wanted to make the boy his disciple. But the boy chose to leave the sect and adventure.

There were still many questions in the patriarch's mind and he wanted to ask Feng Ying. But he can't do that right now. He could now only hope that if something bad did not happen to Feng Ying and hope that the boy was always in good shape.

"Hoam.."

Wang Chen started to stand back up and took the sword lying not far from where it was. He looked at the sword with longing, "When he was only 1 month away. But I miss him."

"..How is he doing now, huh? Is she okay? Is he fighting again?" Wang Chen muttered. He also took a long breath.

Wang Chen was currently living in the Lao patriacrh mansion because he was a private disciple that was trained directly by the patriarch. When he was about to go home, someone was already standing right in front of him. "Teacher" he gave his greetings.

Patriarch Lao who was before Wang Chen nodded and watched Wang Chen's body. He could see that the clothes and body of the boy were very dirty. There were also some scars on his body. Especially on Wang Chen's palm that looked scuffed and red, "Don't force yourself to continue like this, Chen'er. Your friend wouldn't want to see you like this either."

"Teacher, I need to meet Ying soon. Therefore, I must get stronger soon." Wang Chen said with determination.

"Want to be strong is good. But you also have to know the limits you have."

"I understand the teacher. But still, I will train harder and get stronger. Then later on, I can meet him again."

"Well.. Only up you. You're very hard to tell. Now you change your clothes and we'll practice." Patriacrh Lao was silent for a moment, "..By the way, have you learned that sword?"

Wang Chen smiled awkwardly, "I haven't been able to make that move completely. Therefore, I always add hours of training that the teacher gives. So that I can master that skill soon."

Patriarch Lao chuckled softly, "There's no need to rush to learn it. Not everyone can learn it. If successful, it will take months. It could be 1 year."

Wang Chen was surprised to hear his teacher's explanation, "Really?! That long?! Why is it that long, teacher?"

"The sword moves I gave you include high-level moves. And so, not many people can do that. Never mind doing it and successfully learning it, having a textbook just doesn't."

Wang Chen was surprised to hear his teacher's words. High level?! Did he not hear wrong?! There are only a few books that have a high level of skill. Rankings are divided into 3, namely low, medium and high.

"K-Why did the teacher give me such a high-level stance?" Said Wang Chen who was still in shock.

Patriarch Lao stroked Wang Chen's head, "The color of you is my disciple. So I gave you a high-level book to study."

Wang Chen was stunned for a moment and immediately saluted, "Thank you teacher.. Because he was willing to teach me and because he had given me this high-level skill book. Teacher is very good to me.."

Patriarch Lao simply smiled in response to Wang Chen's remark.

Elsewhere, in a restaurant. A boy just sat by the window and looked out. The food or drink he ordered has not yet come. "Well.. It sucks! Why don't I also get information about hidden treasures or other fun things, after 1 week ago?!" His inner. It was noon now, but inside the restaurant did not seem crowded.

When he was silent, a servant approached him and gave him the food he had ordered. "Good fun."

The boy who was none other than Feng Ying glanced at the servant and nodded when he saw the food and drinks on the table. "You can go."

The servant immediately left after getting the order from Feng Ying.

"Hm?", Feng Ying glanced towards the entrance when he felt that someone was watching him from that direction. He saw a young man who had just entered the restaurant and was immediately shocked to find out who the young man was, "Tck.. Why is he here?"
