Training hour

Sihui stood up from where he sat and walked towards Miyun. 'I did not choose wrong you are a smart person. To be honest I had not even thought about it. It did not even cross mind' He chuckled humorlessly and continued. ' It means it will fester and I will die?'

Miyun did not answer him because he was definitely sure he knew the answer to his own question

' Actually, there is a way to help with it. I am not a weak person, the festering is going to take sometime, till then, I know what to do'

' How..... how did you come by the wound' Miyun asked the question that was bothering him the most

' Miyun, I am sleepy. We also have to train tomorrow. I will leave to my suites. Thank you' and with that Sihui walked out. He did not bother changing back into his clothes.

Miyun felt stuffy and decided to take a walk outside, the breeze outside was very cool and that is what he wanted at the moment. He was very amused. Sihui had to be very strong to withstand the pain from the purple Ghost sword. But was he really human? he wondered.

He couldn't sense anything that said otherwise, and he did not answer yes or no to his question.

' I see you also thinking about something' Master Lifei said.

' Master'

' Mm, I also came to clear my mind, good thing I run into you. I actually wanted to discuss something with you, though you would have heard about it earlier' Master Lifei did not sound like his usual happy self.

' Master, is everything okay?'

' Silly, can you not tell?..... No, I plan on leaving my position, not now though but I have to'

Miyun was not expecting this and he was stunned.

' Did anything happen?'

' Yes, I found the one I want to be with and want to elope with him' Master Lifei

Miyun frowned, ' Master, now is not the time to joke around?'

' I am being serious here.'

' No, you are not. Please tell me what the matter is?'

' Alright, I have also been assigned a task, an important one that cannot be delayed. I will leave the same week you do.'

Miyun did not probe about what task it is. If he wanted to tell him he would let him know in due time

' Your young master is a very fine man.' His master said

Miyun rolled his eyes knowing exactly what was going to come next.

' Do you know if he might be into men?'

' That, I do not know' your shameless pervert he said inwardly

' I will find out, oh my, that slender waist of his and cold daunting gaze, that is something I am willing to crack. He is indeed a fine specimen. You should those very light brown pupils of his. You are very lucky'

' I am not into men' Miyun said as a matter of fact

His master laughed like he had said the most funniest thing on earth.

' Mmm, be quick in showing me the maiden that holds your heart then, I would not mind if you like me also'

Miyun did want to hear anymore of his nonsense and excused himself.

' Who the hell made this man a senior master? he muttered for the umpteeth time.

Training was very intense the next morning. Miyun did as his young master had told him and waited at the Royal Scint Forest. He waited for awhile before he heard footsteps. These footsteps sounded like there was more than three people coming, closing him from all sides.

' Meet me.' Sihui simply said.

This was not like Fayin's type of training. it was very confusing and some of the footsteps were not actual footsteps, some sounded like shuffling, others running. It was difficult to make out the sound strides.

He closed his yes and shut out everything else paying attention only to his spiritual manner and the air and sound waves. He had been doing this for all his life and was good at gathering sounds.

In focus, he remained where he stood for while clearing all the sounds that seemed false. He had come to know that Sihu smelled of fresh pine, at this moment he could not smell anything. He quietened his breathing and made a fast run towards a direction. Unfortunately he run into a tree. He was tricked, he could have sworn he was standing there.

He ignored the throbbing pain that had began to spread in his head, he wanted to achieve something. Since this was the only way he would be able to defend himself. He was a strong perosn but compared to Sihui he was no where near him. He was even sure he was more that just a double welder.

He wished he even just had one, but that was him.

'Don't focus all your attention on movement listen to the directions of the wind and movements. Concentrate' Sihui spoke seriously

He did as told, he made a move. He silently walked towards where there was less foot movement and sound, treading closely as if to find his young master, upon reaching he changed course quickly and grabbed unto a handful of Sihui clothes

' Impressive'

Miyun did not why but he smiled at that, he looked towards where his master was, in the sunlight, his eyes looked so unreal, he had on a roguish smirk.

' You can let go off my dress, I hate them creases.'

Miyun immediately left his clothes and stood aside awkwardly. Take your sword, let me see what you have got.

' They sparred for awhile , Sihui was internally intrigued at how good the other was but he did not want him to know that.

He fought harder and pinned him to the ground with his sword at his neck.

' What at all are you being taught here. Plain useless place' Sihui said

Miyun was sweaty and his face began to itch making him uncomfortable. His lower face reddened and he looked flushed.

Sihui saw this and walked closer to him. ' Do you not want to get that thing of your face?

' Haven't found a way yet....

' Mmm,'

Miyun felt something being draped around him which smelled mildly of fresh pine.

' I do not want people thinking we did something else, you look... never mind.' He said and turned to leave.

' How... how is your wound?'

' It hurts, I will be fine after I am sated' He chuckled and left soundlessly.

Miyun wondered, ' That does even happen'

He turned to leave but was stopped by someone. He knew who had come from the perfume that wafted from said individual.

' Chai Dara'

' It is me, I have been wanting to speak with you for awhile now. I want to apologize for what happened the other time. I want us to go back to being friends. Let us have a cup of tea at the old place. Mishin and Mina would also be there. Please come'

Miyun nodded

And heard her turn to leave, she paused and turned

' That is a nice shawl' she said somewhat dejectedly.

Miyun did not wish to explain but truly wished she did not think anything outside the box.

He felt around the shawl deciding to take it off, he did not even realize the itchiness had stopped and felt refreshed.

He waited till the footsteps became faint, though he had really never seen Chai Dara well, he liked her, but his ambition to become stronger and look for means to get rid of the ask on his face and most importantly his mother, won't allow him be in a relationship with her

' I am sorry' he said to the wind.
