Leaving home

Waking up, looking at his little room, his beloved comfy bed Ren Li felt like crying. Its been more than 10 days since the night talk and today was the day he will leave his clan. If he can make it to the SkyFall sect, that means he will leave forever, his life will change but so everything. Thinking about his Mom and Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, cousins and every place in Ren family Manor, he felt tears. And the thing that he wont make it and come back? He didnt even consider it, how could he fail?? As the saying goes newborn Calf doesnt fear the Tiger.

Leaving his home, the first person he met was his older cousin. Ren Arthur, his Mother was from West, so his name was like that. This cousin of his was really talented, it was said he was powerful and even tho he didnt look like that with his big nose and short curled hairs - people said he was handsome.

"Ren Li whats up? Scared yet" Arthus looked at his little cousin jealous, he was already over 20 and couldnt take part in the selection, yet dumb kids like this one could. What a joke was this?

Looking at his cousin Ren Li smiled and joked "Yeah i am about to cry and ask mom for some milk"

Arthus looked at him unsure how to respond in the end he patted his back while saying "i gotta got, take care kid"

Leaving his home alone, since his Mother obviously would avoid him on this day and propably drink like usual while his father already said goodbye to him yesterday Ren walked alone around the manor. To be honest he was lost, he didnt remeber where and when he was supposed to go. Thats why he was anxious and left in the early morning to not be late. Luckily for him, he met some people around the way and they were kind enough to remind him. 10 in the morning near the ancestral hall. It was the biggest building in the Manor, so going there was easy. Also looking at the dew on the grass it was still early morning. Unsure what to do, he just decided to go there and wait early. After it was he supposed to go back and be anxious all the time alone?

Making it to the hall he spotted a lot of familiar faces, it looked like a lot of kids was already there. Not only kids, clan warriors, servants, parents. It kind of looked like a big party was about to start.

"Hello" Suddenly someone patted his back out of nowhere scaring him, when he looked back it was his Aunt Ren MengMeng and with her were 4 kids. Only one was old enough to make it - his cousin Ren MengTue, he was about his age. His other siblings were unfortunely for them, still small.

"Hello Aunt, hello cousins" A bit nervous, but still polite enough Ren Li replied and started to daydream again. Seeing this his Aunt just smiled and left. To be honest considering that Ren Clan was close with each other, the number of aunt and uncless he had made him headache. Trying to avoid constant greeting running to the hall seemed like the best option just when he was about to do that, he caught sight of someone. It was a beauty, long golden hairs, pale skin, soft cheery lips, puppy like blue eyes. Her figure looked ripe, just looking at her he felt weird. But then he remebered who she was. It was Guo Min. Two years ago he saw a picture of a fairy like girl. She was supposed to be a member of SkyFall sect from the Guo Family. Another great clan of this city. The special thing about her is that, her mother is from Ren clan and she is the only member Guo and Ren family had in the powerful sect. Seeing her in person made him appreciate her beauty even more. Today she was there to guide juniors from Guo and Ren clan together with both clans Patriarchs.

<< Inside the hall >>

24 kids were sitting on the mats with crossed legs, the hall was silent. No one dared to make a sound, because a man. Young and powerful was sitting in front of them. Looking no older than 25 with handsome face and benelovent but stern expersion was sitting while meditating and observing children. It was Ren family patriarch, also their strongest expert that lived over 500 years. Ren Tian. It was rumored that he was the strongest person living in the city, but no one knew his exact cultivation.

"Today is a great day for the clan. Our clan has over 1000 members but only 24 of You qualify to enter SkyFall sect. Its a huge honor for You, but also for our clan" He smiled as he said these lines, making them feel proud and special.

"We are about to head out, but there are some things You have to know. First never speak unless asked, second dont wander around when we arrive, third dont bother strangers and the most important. Forth, dont cause any trouble, behave Yourself or else You can forget about SkyFall sect and instead be punished at home" No kid dared to make a sound, even tho they were young, they all understood one thing. It was huge opportunity to become immortals!

Ren Tian stood up and left, making all the kids follow him. Just outside the hall hundreds of clansmen were watching these special kids leave. Whatever it was their parents, brothers, cousins aunts or grandparents. Most at least had connection with one making them proud. Ren Tian waved his hand a huge boat appared. "Everyone on board" afterward he looked at the hopeful crowd and smiled. "We are leaving, dont worry about them"

Slowly the boat started to rise and then float, which made Ren Li jump in fright, he was flaying people, but he never flied once! It was the same with other kids, but no one dared to cause scene or scream thanks to the warning from their patriarch. 'Wow the city looks so small, people are tiny as well. Flying feels amazing' Feeling the freedom while flying Ren made a promise to himself that when he will be rich enough, the first thing he buy will be flying boat!
