chapter 02: Reborn

-Be Gone.
commended the light entity. with a strong yet gentle voice that stroke the souls of the gathered there.

no one could tell what she was. Ganren cao falls to the ground not catching the situation, the three other sect members either.
The monsters and corpses growled as they r fear of her has faded. but it was too late. from her palm up in the air, a circle appeared shined bright, and got bigger, as a dome formed burning away all the creatures that went inside the sect In an instant.

She continued her way gracefully step by step descending from the few stairs, then marching with the never-fading smile on her face as she attained the sect leader she turned to her and said with a peaceful voice.

-wait for me, it won't take long.

Then with a graceful gesture, the light surrounding her healed all the wounded women at the entrance yard. Then she went out of the light protection shield to fight the evil creatures.

Alone against hundreds of berserk monsters and corpses. she said provocatively as the eclipse was reaching its end.

-as the eclipse is reaching its end you should seize this final chance now, come on!

And then all the creatures just charged up to her.




Ying Su went out of her hiding as she sensed no more the presence of the bad smell of the creatures.

-is it over? She asked herself.

As she walked she sensed the hot rays of the sun caressing her skin

-what a relief it ended.

She walked to the front door to check on the situation and to help the wounded ones but all she could hear were whisperers.

-the barrier will last so we shall not fear.
-but if the blessing ends what will happen to us?

Gangren cao noticed ying su so she called for her

-your friend, walked through here, it was another miracle she awakened but she doesn't remember anything anymore not even her name, also her appearance changed due to the burns and the miraculous healing so we decided to name her as the new person she is now "Shao Yao" and you should take care of her and teach her again. stay by her side to help her gain her memory back

Ying Su had too many questions but she could say nothing at all.

-ying su? A voice called her.

As she heard that voice calling her name her heart beat fast. She could sense that her fate was attached to it and maybe, Shao Yao will be her answer to recover her sight again.

-yes, and am happy to be friends with you again. Shao Yao. She said with a smile

three months later...

-hi, good morning, good morning grandma!
Shao Yao said greeting the working women in the sect market.
-oh, good morning Shao Yao. So energetic today as always.
- haha, did you guys have a great recolte today?
- yeah we did. said a woman.
- here have some child. said the grandma.
She gave her a peach and she bites on it deliciously.
- you should see my back after your lessons it hurts so much. complained the grandma to her
-you should rest more grandma you work so hard. replied shao yao chewing on the fruit.
- it's the least we can do to thank you, guys. You study hard to protect us and heal us and save all the weak and take the homeless women and children. my village was attacked by monsters and my daughter and her child were almost killed when the former sect leader and her vice gangrene cao back then came and saved us and took us in. Am so indebted to them.

A young child that was playing came running to the grandma

-it's not fair you gave her a peach I want one too granny!

Shao Yao looked at him and smiled. as she put her tongue out teasing him.

-Shao Yao! Called ying su.

-oh! Am sorry am late.

-eating peach?

-yeah granny gave me one.

-you always stop by her those days as you walk by our village.

-did I have any family back then, ying su? asked shao yao.

-hm? We were all orphans as we were taken here. We cultivate to be stronger to help the ones like us.

- but it feels weird in my head... I don't even remember the story of us you told me about. I don't remember anything past these few months... The only thing that I know is this strange feeling that haunts me day and night.

-the elders say that you were reborn with a great mission. Maybe you will find the answers if you fulfill it?

-they are overdramatic. exclaimed shao yao
A great mission that I even don't know what it is... I just feel the urge to follow and purge dark qi it's not anything special for cultivators. she exhaled after her phrase.

-but it's still a great thing to perform.
As someone who suffers amnesia, you did not fall back but you progressed in cultivation so much. said ying su as she smiled at her.

-its because the old lady's don't let me slack I study as a slave every day I want to have some fun. Pooted shao yao

- don't say that if they heare you'll be in trouble. Ying su laughed teasingly.

-I just want to spend some time with you and our sisters maybe I will remember things talking to them. or go someplace? doing something fun? all these lessons won't give me my answers.

-so what do you want to do?

-hmm, I didn't think so far. But maybe going to a real town. Like in the story you told me before and wondering in a real market.

-yeah, it could be fun but we can't go, only our senior can and it has so many rules. I only went once. But if you wanted to visit a town maybe the elders can allow you to?

-you think so? But am too afraid to ask them. Before I finish this training I guess I won't go anywhere. said shao yao looking sad.

In the evening all the sect members gather to have a meal together. Gangren cao seated with the elders on a high platform facing the disciples.
Great food was served, everyone was conversing and eating. Until
