The Dragon Warrior Pair
DWP 8: Practicing With Grandma Xue Qinghua
Finished dinner, Xue Qinghua saw the bruised wound on Jing Yang's face. Then he took a long breath.
“Grandmother will reprimand the naughty children who hit you!” Xue Qinghua growled at the sight of Jing Yang getting injured every time she went home to practice alone.
However Jing Yang clenched his hands and said, “Grandmother. It's nothing. Last afternoon I was too hard to train with Yueyue.”
Directly Xue Bingyue looked at the smiling Jing Yang, ‘Why are you lying to Grandma, Yangyang?’ Inner Xue Bingyue.
Then Xue Qinghua looked carefully at Jing Yang's countenance, “Yueyue, you go take a bath, women must be good at keeping clean and taking care of her body, do not be lazy children,” Xue Qinghua rebuked.
“Yang'er, here Grandma wash your body. Tonight we check your body again.” Xue Qinghua stood up and picked up the medicines that were in the closet. Jing Yang washed the dishes before returning to the room.
Jing Yang had bathed together with Xue Bingyue when they were six years old, but after many times the two of them had bathed together, Xue Qinghua rebuked Jing Yang and Xue Bingyue for not getting too close. In a sense Jing Yang and Xue Bingyue should know shame and know boundaries.
After being reprimanded by Xue Qinghua, now Jing Yang and Xue Bingyue had never bathed together. They only sleep in the same room. A room with two beds side by side.
“Yang'er, did your Father and Mother ever tell you about your illness?” Xue Qinghua asked as she massaged the sleeping Jing Yang's back.
“Daddy once told me, if I have a disease easily tired. But I don't know the whole thing about my illness, because Father and Mother don't seem to want to tell me,” Jing Yang replied as she buried her face in the pillow.
Xue Qinghua went back to check on Jing Yang's illness with her inner strength, this “Aura is very similar to a demon!” Xue Qinghua was deep and her face was deathly pale.
Afterwards Xue Qinghua had Jing Yang drink the warm water from the Snow Ginseng stew.
“Drink this water, Yang'er. Don't forget to shower. Tomorrow don't go home and you two have to take an afternoon shower, don't take a night shower like you do. You hear that, Yueyue?” Xue Qinghua glanced at Xue Bingyue who had finished her bath and was dressed neatly.
“Iya Grandma,” Xue Bingyue replied as she jumped on the bed.
“Thanks Grandma. Yang'er take a shower first,” Jing Yang said as she picked up a white towel and walked towards the bathroom.
Xue Qinghua looked at Jing Yang who was starting to move away from her eyes, “I feel Yang'er was exposed to the Hell Devil Poison. It was likely that he had already been exposed to the poison from the small, inner” of Xue Qinghua.
“Yueyue, Grandma go first huh. There are letters that must be taken care of for the purposes of the sect,” Xue Qinghua said as she left the room that Xue Bingyue and Jing Yang occupied.
“Iya Grandma. Thank you for treating Yangyang's injuries,” Xue Bingyue replied with a gentle smile on Xue Qinghua.
After ten minutes, Jing Yang finished bathing and dressed in the dressing room. After that he laid his body on his bed which was beside Xue Bingyue's bed.
“Goodnight Yueyue,” said Jing Yang as he glanced at Xue Bingyue.
“Good sleep, Yangyang,” reply Xue Bingyue while closing her eyes slowly.
Jing Yang enjoyed these moments. Moments like now, when looking at the beautiful face of Xue Bingyue who was sound asleep.
After Xue Bingyue fell into a deep sleep. Jing Yang sat cross-legged and practiced the breathing taught by Xue Bingyue.
“I must be diligent in training to deserve to stand beside Yueyue,” Inner Jing Yang is full of confidence.
The night passed quietly in the Snow Moon Pavilion, Jing Yang practiced breathing almost until midnight. When he felt that there was a difference in his body, Jing Yang laid his body and fell asleep.
The night sky slowly began to fade, a glimmer of light above the clouds began to crackle shining down on the world. The sunlight that carried the warmth of the morning slowly made the morning dew that was clutching the leaves vanish unceremoniously because of the light.
Jing Yang woke up from his sleep, he changed his position to sit on the bed, “Good morning, Yueyue,” Jing Yang greeted the newly awakened Xue Bingyue just like him.
“Morning, Yangyang,” reply Xue Bingyue while rubbing her eyes.
As usual, the beautiful morning on Moon Snow Island made Jing Yang eager to train. Before warming up and running in the morning, Jing Yang washed his face and brushed his teeth.
Morning on Moon Snow Island makes the island's residents wake up and start their activities. Some of the inhabitants of the Moon Snow Island who did not become a swordsman began to set sail because their work was a fisherman.
Some of them also work as ship owners in the port of Lunar Snow Island and some are gardening. Some residents garden to plant resource crops that become their income.
Jing Yang as usual greeted Xue Qinghua before the morning run, “Grandmother. Yang'er leaves first!” Jing Yang's hand waved at Xue Qinghua bbefore running.
“Yang'er, today there is a training schedule!” Xue Qinghua shouted at Jing Yang who was already running away from the Snow Moon Pavilion.
Xue Qinghua's voice was heard by Jing Yang. He had only remembered that this morning, Xue Qinghua had not been so busy that he could train with Xue Qinghua.
“Iya Nek!” Jing Yang shouted and waved his hand back.
It wasn't how long it seemed Xue Bingyue was chasing after Jing Yang from behind. Seeing his beloved grandson chasing after Jing Yang naturally Xue Qinghua could only shake his head.
“Hopefully the two of them are always together until adulthood.” Xue Qinghua muttered as she looked at Xue Bingyue's back which was further away from her sight.
On the streets of the settlement were the cynical gazes of the male swordsman who was a disciple of Lin Song.
Jing Yang ran along with Xue Bingyue who was already beside him.
“Yueyue, you must be using the science of lightening the body,” said Jing Yang as he continued running.
“Iya, Yangyang. I want to chase after you,” Xue Bingyue replied with a sweet smile at Jing Yang.
As Jing Yang and Xue Bingyue looked familiar, the swordsman who was both a disciple and a member of Lin Song started talking about Jing Yang.
“See that, the useless defect!”
“Child from outside sect treated special.”
“I'm like to see the Princess and the Ugly Miss.”
Laughter was heard, but Jing Yang did not pry into the words of the male swordsman who always insulted him. To him, their insults and insults were like the wind. Enter the left ear, then exit the right ear.
“Have his martial arts disability. His eyes are also flawed! Basic useless trash!”
“What to expect from this blind cripple! I don't understand Chairman Qinghua's thoughts at all!”
Xue Bingyue's footsteps stopped. She hated it the most if anyone insulted Jing Yang physically. In dislike anyone insulted Jing Yang's left eye that had been injured.
“Yueyue!” Jing Yang pulled Xue Bingyue's hand because the little girl looked so emotional.
“Don't mind their talk. I told you, as long as they do not insult you, then for me something like this is nothing.”
Xue Bingyue biting her lower lip, “But—”
“Yueyue, don't listen to them!” Jing Yang cut Xue Bingyue's words quickly.
Seeing Jing Yang's attitude made Xue Bingyue run away leaving Jing Yang alone, “Yangyang! They insult you. I can't take it if someone insults you!" Inner Xue Bingyue was raging.
“Why can you still forgive them? Why can you still smile?” Xue Bingyue nodded and continued to run towards the forest where she used to practice.
Jing Yang did not follow Xue Bingyue, but instead he immediately returned to the Snow Moon Pavilion after a morning run around the settlement of the residents on the Moon Snow Island.
