I'M Zhen
Chapters 13. Teach something

Opening his eyes, Grandpa Luan, who was enjoying his meal, was eating with Yueyin in his arms. Zhen immediately woke up from his sleep. I don't think he's sleeping too well. The plan was that he wanted to go silent after Grandpa Luan came. But instead he fell asleep next to the slimy baby.

"Oh, are you awake? Looks like you slept so well that your saliva went where."Said Grandpa Luan with his jail tone.

Zhen never wiggles while sleeping. She remembered last night the baby was patting her cheek with her hands full of saliva. "This is not my saliva! It's his saliva!?" Said Zhen defending himself. He really does not accept if it must be said to be stretched during sleep. While the one who gave him saliva was delicious to drink his milk.

"All right, I believe. Now, wash your face and we eat together!?" Said Grandpa Luan.

After cleaning his face full of Yueyin saliva, Zhen seemed hesitant to join in.

It seemed that Zhen was still in doubt about the food that was on the dining table. He did not know if the food was poisonous or not. It was not his desire to think negatively like this, but any servant giving him food it would always be poisonous. "I, I'll eat later." Said Zhen while lowering his head.

Grandfather Luan knew what Zhen was thinking at this moment. It's only natural that he's always on guard, because everyone here is always looking for an opportunity to kill him. "You take it easy, this food does not contain any poison in it. They would not dare to put this edible poison. Because no one would dare to poison a powerful elder like me." Grandpa Luan explained to Zhen.

Hearing the elder's words made Zhen startled by Grandpa Luan's words. 'That old man is the elder of the guaiwu clan? If he was an elder, no one would dare him but that person. Means I slept in the elder's room?' Zhen was getting busy with his own thoughts. Until Grandpa Luan's call was ignored since then. Suddenly someone pulled his small hand made Zhen stung in shock. But when he saw who it was, it was Grandpa Luan who pulled him.

"Now eat!?" Said Grandfather Luan already pulling Zhen to the front of the dining table.

Right in front of Zhen was a lot of good food. Zhen gulped his own saliva looking at the amount of food. He never tasted good food like this. Every day that is eaten is just dry bread that is sometimes moldy. Since it didn't seem like anything was going to happen, Zhen sat down on the chair that already existed awkwardly.

"Why did you just see him? Eat quickly!" Said Grandpa Luan letting Zhen eat.

"Ah I yes!?" As Luan's grandfather said, Zhen ate the available food. It seems to really taste good. Either because he was hungry because he had not eaten for days or because this was the first time someone invited him to eat together. But it sure tastes really good. If there was no Grandpa Luan here, then Zhen might have cried because this food was too fancy on his tongue. Now he held his cry in his throat.

"Hows it? Yummy, right?" Ask Grandpa Luan.

"Yes, this is delicious." There was a small smile on his face that had not smiled this happily for a long time.

After finishing eating some waiters came to pick up the dirty dishes. Zhen looked inferior when some of the servants who were looking at him cynically.

"What do you see?" Grandpa Luan asked as she let out an aura suppressing him.

Suddenly the servants immediately lowered their heads in fear of the old Grandpa's anger. They were in a hurry to leave and finished packing.

Grandfather Luan noticed the clothes Zhen was wearing. It was her son's childhood clothes that had died. Seeing it fit right in Zhen's body reminded him of his son. "Don't be afraid of people who demean you. They'll be braver if you show them your fear." Said Grandpa Luan giving advice to Zhen.

Grandpa Luan smiled happily to see Zhen innocently making a promise. He wanted to teach Zhen something. "May I check your tone?" Grandpa Luan asked who was immediately greeted by Zhen who handed over his left hand without hesitation. 'So obedient. He doesn't even have the slightest suspicion.' Grandpa Luan thought while pressing down on the wrist in Zhen's hand. "Aren't you suspicious of me why what you are?" Ask him to try Zhen.

"No, I'm sure the person who helped me and gave me good food was a good person." The answer was without any suspicion.

The old man could only smile awkwardly at this boy's over-positive conviction. "Listen, not everyone who helps and gives good food is a good person. They may have hidden intentions. You should always be on your guard." Said Grandpa Luan finished examining Zhen's spiritual pulse.

"All right." A cheerful smile continued to adorn his face. He was like he had not listened to what Grandpa Luan had just said.

'Here you go, later he understands my point.' Thought Grandpa Luan asembari sighed softly. "I was shocked after checking your pulse. Your talent is not much different from your brother's. And it seems you know how to cultivate." Grandpa Luan said to Zhen after examining his pulse. He felt there was Qi flowing though slightly. 'Nobody approached him, people hated him as well, where did he learn the cultivation technique from? Is brother? It seems impossible. Then who?' Thought Grandpa Luan.

"Cultivation? What'sthat?" Zhen asked not understanding.

Looking at Grandpa Luan's deep frown, he was surprised to learn that Zhen didn't know what cultivation was but could do it. "You really don't know or pretend you don't know?" Grandpa Luan asked still surprised.

Yet Zhen just shook his head not knowing. He was at a loss as to why Grandpa Luan's reaction looked surprised at her question.

"Alright, I'll explain what cultivation is. I'll start with Qi. Qi is the life energy that is around us. And the way we cultivate Qi into spiritual power is by cultivating. There are various cultivation techniques in this world. One of them is the one you use." Clearly Grandpa Luan was brief. Actually, if it is explained in detail, it will take time. So he shortened his explanation to be as short as possible in order for Zhen to understand. "If you may know, where did you get that cultivation technique?" Grandpa Luan asked starting to dig deeper.

"I don't know." Answer Zhen directly.

"What?"

"Please, this technique appears in my head. So I do it when I'm bored." Zhen was honest.

Looking from his expression and calmness answering it seemed like Zhen was telling the truth. But where does something like that happen. Grandfather Luan was getting curious about the second son of this clan leader.
