Chapter 6

Both Yuki and Ling Jian turned towards the door as soon as they heard the knocking sound.

"Who might it be this time?" Yuki said looking at the door.

Yuki stands up and starts walking towards the door to open it, but she is stopped by Ling Jian.

"Where are you going?" Ling Jian grumpily asks

"Where else, but to open the door" Yuki smilingly answers

"looking like that, no you are not" Ling Jian also adds "go and get dressed, I'll open the door". It was more like a command she gave to Yuki and Yuki complied with it as her glaring made no room for opposition. But what Yuki did next was totally unexpected for Ling Jian.

Yuki dropped the towel which was wrapping her body, making her beautiful body completely visible to Ling Jian. Ling Jian was dumbfounded as well as mesmerized by that scene as she couldn't look away or utter a single word.

"staring is not a good thing, you know," Yuki said teasingly on seeing her expression

Listening to Yuki's words, Ling Jian face became red and she instantly turned her face towards the door facing her back to Yuki.

'Why was I staring at her, and why am I getting flustered, ahhh I am such an idiot' Ling Jian was screaming in her mind. 'calm down, she's a girl just like me, take a deep breath'

While Ling Jian was going through that, Yuki had already put on her dress and went to the door to open it. As soon as she opened the door, Yuki saw elder Ya standing there. Before Yuki could say anything, Ling Jian came from behind and said

"senior sister Ya, why are you here?"

"Junior sister Ling, you are still here," she said, surprisingly, "I didn't think you'd still be here"

Whenever they were in private, Ling Jian referred to elder Ya and elder Chi as senior sister and they referred to her as a junior sister. It was because before Ling Jian was chosen to become the sect master she was a cute little junior sister who'd play with them all the time. But circumstances change and people have to adapt to it. Even though they have to adhere to rigid rules in public, but whenever they are in private they do it just like old times.

"It took a bit longer than expected," Ling Jian hurryingly said while her face still had a tinge of red. Elder Ya noticed this but she didn't say anything about this, instead, she said

"I came to ask ancestor if she needed anything"

'Senior sister is so considerate' Ling Jian thought

Yuki who was standing beside Ling Jian smilingly said to Elder ya "You are that girl from before, what's your name?"

Ling Jian replied in her stead "She is elder Ya"

"Then I'll call you Little Ya, you won't mind right" Yuki smilingly said

"not at all" elder Ya said with a smile on her face, that smile was enough to sway any man's mind.

"Senior sister, you came at the right time, the ancestor is hungry, can you bring some food for her?" Ling Jian asked her

"I will go fetch some food for the ancestor" Elder Ya said and started walking, but then she paused turned around and said to Ling Jian "you haven't eaten anything yourself right, I'll bring something for you too". She then left with fast footsteps, Ling Jian opened her mouth to say something but elder Ya was long gone.

"You haven't eaten anything yet?" Yuki asked Ling Jian. Ling Jian just nodded her head but didn't say anything.

"Why? You are a growing girl, you need to eat to grow big and strong" Yuki was looking at Ling Jian's chest while saying that. Ling Jian noticed her sight and retorted

"hey, where are you looking?"

"where do you think?"

"you" Ling Jian was a bit sensitive about her chest which was as flat as a washboard, so anytime someone mentions it, she shows a furious expression but to her dismay, Yuki doesn't care about those things at all.

While this scene was playing out where Ling Jian was glaring at Yuki who was smiling at her in return, elder Ya came back with a few bowls and chopsticks.

"Ancestor, Junior sister, come sit here," elder Ya said to them pointing to the furniture while being oblivious to the scene that played out in her absence.

Yuki's room had one round table and two chairs in the name of furniture. The chairs were placed opposite to each other. Both Yuki and Ling Jian sat on the opposite chair facing each other. Elder Ya placed two medium-sized bowls on the table, one for Yuki and one for Ling Jian. The bowls had white rice in them, elder Ya brought out another bowl which had chicken curry, she then poured its contents over the rice, and at last, she gave them two pairs of chopsticks.

Yuki took the chopsticks and started digging in without waiting for Ling Jian.

"Hey, shouldn't you give your thanks to the farmers?"

"I have, in my mind" Yuki smiled and teasingly said.

"you" Ling Jian was getting increasingly frustrated while elder Ya who is calm most of the time was also smiling. Ling Jian turned her eyesight towards her, but as soon as elder Ya saw her looking, she said hurriedly

"cough, cough, junior sister, you should eat too or it will get cold"

Ling Jian moved her eyes from elder Ya to the food

"Thanks for the food," she said then started eating too.

Yuki was genuinely happy over the food, Though she just wanted to taste it in the beginning, now she wanted to eat it because it tasted amazing. And it was visible from her expression, and at the same time, Ling Jian was also chomping on her food with a happy expression. After a few minutes, their meal was finished.

"Little Ya, the food was pretty good" Yuki complemented

"why wouldn't it be, it was made by our kitchen after all" Ling Jian said while showing a proud expression. Since sword god sect was a pretty big sect, their kitchen which had to serve so many people was amazing as well. But this dish was specially made by the personal kitchen which serves the top brass of the sword god sect, so it definitely won't be lacking.

"I am glad you liked it ancestor"

"There is something I've been meaning to say, You two don't need to call me ancestor," Yuki said while looking at them.

Both Ling Jian and elder Ya made a huh sound and were looking at Yuki. Yuki after seeing their expression elaborated "I am quite young and I don't like young girls calling me ancestor"

"how old are you ancestor?" elder Ya asked. As soon as she said that, she felt she has overstepped her bounds as asking a girl her age wasn't something one should do.

Yuki saw her expression and said with a smile

"I don't mind, I was 16 when I was sealed"

"What?" this time it was Ling Jian and she was flabbergasted. Elder Ya also had a surprised expression on her face.

"Something wrong, Little Ling?" Yuki asked

"Junior sister Ling also turned 16 this year," elder Ya said

"Congratulations, Little Ling"

"Wait a moment, if you are 16 too, then how come you can call me Little Ling" Ling Jian retorted.

"because I like it," Yuki smiled and said it as a matter of fact. This time Ling Jian had a dumbfounded expression on her face.

Yuki saw her angry face and she turned towards elder Ya

"Little Ya, you don't have any problem if I call you Little Ya right?"

"not at all" elder Ya answered

"see, Little Ya has no problem," Yuki said while pointing her finger at elder Ya

"Even if senior sister Ya is fine with it, I am not" she also added "rather it should be me who should be calling you Little Yuki," Ling Jian said while puffing her chest

"oh, If you want to call me little Yuki, become a heavenly realm master, defeat me and then I'll allow it," Yuki also added "till that time, you'll be little Ling"

Ling Jian wasn't expecting that but as she wasn't a heavenly realm master, she decided to let it go but she was still glaring at Yuki. Yuki just laughed at her glaring.

"Fine, wait till I become a heavenly realm master" Ling Jian declared

"I'll be waiting". After that, both Ling Jian and elder Ya left Yuki's room and went to their respective rooms.

'Uncle Ji's descendant is just like uncle Ji, I guess it won't be boring here' Yuki was smiling.
