Garbage Swordsman
Yu Zhen 4 (end)
Until half a day Yu Zhen fainted, he had just woken up with a slightly heavy head.
"Ukh, my head", Yu Zhen held his head while grimacing pain.then he held his shoulder which is now a needle child belonging to Chu Bei is no longer there.
"The poison in my body has started to disappear, did the old man help me?", Yu Zhen pondered for a moment in confusion, then he looked around feeling unfamiliar with the place of his current existence, "Where's me?".
Yu Zhen crazily looked here and there in a daze, as Yu Zhen was looking around he heard the sound of a child practicing outside.
"Yeah! shaa!".
After hearing the screaming sounds of the little practicing boy coming from outside, Yu Zhen woke up from his resting place with his head still somewhat dizzy with the intention of wanting to see what was happening outside.
When Yu Zhen was already standing outside he saw a residence that was so comfortable and serene with a young child who was actively practicing hard swinging his sword.
Yu Zhen watched every move of the little boy from a distance, that brat who was none other than Qing Yuan when he was 7 years old.
The moment Qing Yuan took out a slash from his wooden sword, it made Yu Zhen instantly widen his eyes would be in disbelief at something he saw, "That boy?".
"You also feel it right?", said Elder Yan who approached Yu Zhen while carrying a small bowl of medicinal water.
Yu Zhen turned his head slightly surprised by the sudden appearance of Elder Yan, "You!".
"Drink this let your body not be weak.don't worry it is the decoction water of the herbal leaves", Elder Yan interrupted Yu Zhen's words before he finished his speech.
Hesitatingly Yu Zhen stared at the water, but without having to think further he immediately drank it with his eyes closed rough omen the water was slightly bitter.
While Yu Zhen was drinking the herbal water, Elder Yan continued to tell Qing Yuan about it to Yu Zhen
"He's just a little boy whose name is Qing Yuan. I met him on the streets in a state of hunger when he was 3 years old. my heart ached when I saw that little boy starving and freezing on the streets without anyone pitying or feeding him, so I brought him home to the Qingyun sect", she said", Elder Yan explained his bitter smile containing a sad meaning.
Then Elder Yan still continued his explanation, "He has an amazing talent dear to him he has a flawed dantian, although her dantian was flawed somehow I always felt there was something extraordinary about her every time Qing Yuan practiced swinging a sword".
Hearing the explanation from Elder Yan instantly made Yu Zhen so mutter in his heart, "It turns out that boy has a flawed dantian.but why is it that even if his dantian is flawed he can make such a great slash?". Yu Zhen thought for a moment about Qing Yuan.
After drinking that, Yu Zhen faced Elder Yan with his head bowed to forget about the matter about Qing Yuan while saying thanks to him, "Thank you for helping me".
Elder Yan smiled, he patted Yu Zhen on the shoulder as he replied, "It was already me just passing by and accidentally saw you being attacked by the demon blood stream sect along with the Chu murderous family".
For a moment Yu Zhen was dumbstruck staring at Elder Yan, for some reason Yu Zhen felt that he was very comfortable feeling safe near Elder Yan who seemed to have a gentle personality.
Then Yu Zhen further asked, "Can the Elder tell me the name of the Elder?".
"Call me Elder Yan". replied Elder Yan while stroking his white beard.
"Well Elder Yan why was it so easy for the elder to destroy the precious ring that the entire world was after?".
The question Yu Zhen gave made Elder Yan smile subtly while closing his eyes, he walked slowly forward then came back to a stop then gave an answer, "It was just a rumor that the soul of the ancient heavenly emperor was inside the ring".
Elder Yan stopped answering a flash staring towards the sky, after which he turned his head towards Yu Zhen and said, "If it's true, isn't it as good as being destroyed rather than attacking each other to be able to seize and own the ring?".
Yu Zhen was fixated with the answer from Elder Yan, he could only be speechless unable to dodge the truth from Elder Yan's words.
The silence continued to happen only to sound the voice of Qing Yuan who was constantly practicing.
As that silence occurred Yu Zhen glanced towards the red jade pendant shaped crescent moon symbol that was hanging on the waist of Elder Yan.
Because of his curiosity about the symbol, Yu Zhen asked, "What symbol is it?". asked Yu Zhen curiously.
Elder Yan glanced towards the symbol after Yu Zhen asked him, then Elder Yan replied, "Oh this is the symbol of the crescent moon. The meaning of this crescent moon symbol is the peace to come".
Yu Zhen instantly stared deeply at the crescent moon symbol after knowing its meaning.
However Yu Zhen was only curious for a moment. now he again paid his respects to Elder Yan while saying, "Elder has saved my life, I now owe you a debt of gratitude, so please Elder Yan tell me how he is so that I can repay the kindness of Elder Yan". Yu Zhen said as he lowered his head by cupping his hands.
The mass shadow Yu Zhen had with Elder Yan had already flashed.now back at this moment of his conversation with Qing Yuan.
"A debt of gratitude to my teacher? what do you mean?", Qing Yuan asked in surprise.
Yu Zhen turned back around after recalling his mass then, he answered Qing Yuan's question casually trying to dodge, "No, forget it. It's only here that I want to tell you".
When Yu Zhen was about to leave, he stared at the red fire jade flowers, which were piling up so much that they blocked Xiao Yu's sight.
"Those red fire jade flowers are yours?".
"Yes, it's ours" Qing Yuan replied.
Suddenly Yu Zhen smiled widely after finding out that the flowers belonged to them.
"What if I buy all those flowers for three thousand silver coins and two hundred gold coins?".
Qing Yuan and Xiao Yu were surprised with widened eyes at the price offered by Yu Zhen. Qing Yuan glanced at the direction Xiao Yu wanted to ask for an opinion from her, "Xiao Yu how?".
Xiao Yu simply stared silently at Qing Yuan as if he did not care about bargaining the prices of the flowers when he was genuine he strongly agreed upon Yu Zhen's offer.
Since Qing Yuan was also confused by Xiao Yu's attitude, Qing Yuan rejected the offer from Yu Zhen, "Ah sorry will our teacher Yu Zhen we can't sell him".
As Xiao Yu was astonished by Qing Yuan's remark, "Fool boy!", Xiao Yu put Qing Yuan in his heart in annoyance.
And Yu Zhen was also puzzled by Qing Yuan who refused a good offer from him, "Alright then..
"We will sell him, don't mind him, he doesn't know how to count money", Xiao Yu immediately stepped forward to interrupt Yu Zhen's words.
"I don't know how to count money?", Qing Yuan asked as he pointed to himself in confusion.
"Shut up!", Xiao Yu immediately greeted her in annoyance.
Yu Zhen just chuckled at the behavior of the two of them.
"Alright forgive me, then keep a little red fire jade flowers that others just sell".
Then Xiao Yu directly gave the red fire jade flowers to Yu Zhen. as Xiao Yu gave the flowers to him Yu Zhen so muttered, "I felt there was a strange aura on his body".Inner Yu Zhen inwardly as he stared intently at Xiao Yu.
However, Yu Zhen forgot about it maybe it was just his feelings. Yu Zhen threw two bags at Xiao Yu after they gave the flowers which one bag contained three thousand silver coins and another bag contained two hundred gold coins.
"All right then I'll go first".
Yu Zhen flew up and left from there.
So too did Xiao Yu and Qing Yuan they started returning home to the mountain huts.
.
.
.
Dissolved into a silent night Qing Yuan looked solemnly at Elder Yan's jade identification mark while occasionally stroking the jade with his thumb finger.
After careful thought Qing Yuan started to speak, "Xiao Yu let's go down the mountain tomorrow from here" Qing Yuan said in a serious manner.
Xiao Yu turned his head towards Qing Yuan about to hear his remark, then he replied, "What? down mountain? that will never happen, I will never leave this hut!".
Seriate...
