What!

"Now, you all know what we're doing today until next year?"

"Master Long, we are getting ready for the Sky and Mountain tournament that takes place next year and were also trying to get the younger ones ready for the 3 Elements tournament as well, that takes place in about 3 years."

"That is correct Young Master Gu, hey Gu Tang do you have anything to add to what your young Master had to say, or are you just having fun back there chatting with your best friend Young Master Da Rong!"

"No Master Long, no problem at all. We were just wrapping up our conversation!"

"Okay good, then that means you won't mind running 5 extra laps to lead us in our warm-up?"

"No!"

"Then you can lead the group in stretching and then go run your laps before we get started with our training!"

( Fuck, I got caught talking again in front of Master Long! )

( Idiot!)

( What who said that! )

(Who cares! Just shut up and run your laps idiot!)

( What!!!!)

One of the girls in the class noticed Gu Tang's face as they were all getting ready to form into a circle to do stretches together.

"Your face is all red Tang!"

"I'm fine, it's just a little hot."

"Okay, just make sure to take care of yourself, make sure you drink some water and tea."

"Don't worry, Princess Xue Xiu!"

Gu Tang bowed respectfully to the young girl. Then got into a position to help lead the class into doing their training before their first run of the day.

( That brat is still sleeping in the corner, hmmm... I'll get him to do something soon. )

After 30 mins the class had progressed to do their running routine before their sword training, at this point Qing Long had woken up from the little nap as he was still in a half-asleep/awake state.

All of the older girls in the class found him really cute and would smile and have red-blushed face's when they ran by his corner of the room during their laps.

The boys and men that didn't see him when they first came to the dojo, had now noticed him. Most were confused and then the rest were interested to find out who he was.

"Okay, gather around and grab your wooden swords and sit in a large rectangle around the edge of the floor mat arena."

" Young Master Chang An, lead the group your up first!"

"Who wants to face me first!"

"I'll go!"

"Good job volunteering Captain Huan!"

"Today, I'll beat you punk!"

"You might be the boss of me, when we're out on patrol or when we're doing Army Drills Captain, but here I'm the boss!"

"Ahh!"

"Watch for the cross!"

"Captain Huan, keep up your guard!"

"Yes, Master Long!"

"Chang, watch your footing!"

"Captain Huan, watch for the leg sweep!"

"Ah-Ha, I dodged your leg sweep today!"

"Watch for the charge, think two, three moves ahead Chang!"

"Here comes the counter Chang, get into your next stance!"

"Hey, Young Master Duan Lian Tian I bet Captain Huan losses in under 5 moves, 5 Gold coins what do you say Duan Lian Tian!"

"Sounds, like fun I'll counter your bet and raise you 5 Gold coins!"

"10 Gold Coins it is then!"

"We can hear you two!"

"Come here, you little runt!"

"Who are you calling a runt Captain Horse!"

"What did you say, Chang!"

"Stay away from your anger Chang, watch for the quick fake swings!"

"Smack!"

"Ahh!"

"Raise your guard Chang, dodge, and weave."

"Captain Huan, Roll and perform a quick up draw to counter Chang's Turtle stance!"

"I'll take that bet and join you two!"

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

"You want in kid!"

"Yeah I do, I just had a great meal and a nice nap and now I want to win some pocket money!"

"Haha, your cute kid but you'd lose if you joined in on the fun kid!"

"Hey, are you two bullying the kid!"

"Junior Sister Da-Xia Hee, we were just talking, he wanted to join us on his own!"

"Oh, really!"

"Pretty Sister, what they say is true!

"Ahh!"

Da Xia immediately started to blush.

"Hey Guang Hu, this kid's got more game than you do, when it comes to talking to women!"

Haha

Haha

"Oh, who taught you how to talk girls like that!"

"Lady at the Honey Bread Bun Stall, says to talk nice to Girls and you'll get a Pretty Girlfriend. But what she really meant, was you should talk really nice to the pretty girl's friends, so it's guaranteed that the pretty girl's friends will talk nice about you to the pretty girl when you're not around!"

The girl made an o-face and then the two young men were grinning ear to ear trying to not laugh at Qing Long's tale about, the real word problem around pretty girls, there's always one ugly girl in a group to make the pretty girls look even better.

"You, better not corrupt him!"

"Young Master can you believe the kid...

"Hey, don't even finish that sentence, the kid doesn't even fully understand what that means. So don't go filling his head with useless information!"

"So, come on kid, tell us in how many moves you think Chang An will win in or within?"

Hmmm...

"Okay, I bet 200 Gold coins that Captain Huan will beat Young Master Chang An in 9 moves!"

"What!"
