Chapter -24-

Liu Angier seemed to be blowing the fireplace in the kitchen. She had to start a fire immediately so that the food was cooked by her quickly because the inhabitants of this temple were hungry with their crazy activities all day. Occasionally Liu Angier coughed, beating her chest as the black smoke got into her nose. Then she blew the fireplace again, and it finally lit up. Liu Angier was happy. She immediately cooked dinner. Then she glanced at the line of topless men walking while carrying a wooden bucket. They walked to the well which is located on the right side of the kitchen.

Feeling very embarrassed, Liu Angier turned her back right away. She closed her eyes tightly then she sat down. No, Liu Angier couldn't possibly see anything dirty. Her eyes would sin if she looked at that sight.

Lu Yi Nan saw Liu Angier appeared to be hiding. Then he saw if the dinner was over. He had an idea to invite Liu Angier to walk together. Because after all, come to think of it, Liu Angier never bathed together with the others. Liu Angier seemed to have her world, aloof and seemed mysterious. Whereas a rule here, students must bath at the same place and time, even sleeping must be in the same room. The teacher made the bed neatly so that they could sleep comfortably and quietly. But why was Liu Angier told to sleep by his teacher in a different place? Alone and the quiet place. So, it is scary when night comes.

"Brother Liu, what are you doing here? Why are you hiding? It's almost night. How about you take a bath together with us? You haven't bathed together with us, have you? Come on, hurry up and take your clothes off and take a bath with us," said Lu Yi Nan.

Liu Angier was shocked and terrified when Lu Yi Nan tugged at the back of her clothes. Liu Angier tried her best to stay where she was. Sit sweetly with a face with extraordinary fear.

"Brother Lu, you and the other brothers can take a shower first. I want to finish making dinner, and I will follow," replied Liu Angier, trying to refuse Lu Yi Nan's invitation.

"Never mind, don't make excuses. All the dishes you made weren't all finished by you? So, let's take a shower, Brother Liu!"

Lu Yi Nan immediately forcefully pulled Liu Angier's body. Liu Angier closed her eyes tightly. She immediately clung to the pole because Lu Yi Nan and the others didn't want to take a bath.

"Brother Lu, understand! I am not a disciple of Great Teacher Zhang. So I have no right to bathe together with you in that sacred well!"

"It is true that you are not officially included as a disciple of Great Teacher Zhang. But you know, you are part of us. And that means if you and we are the same. So stop saying that you are different and not part of us. Take a bath together, why take a shower you like I took a war and died on the battlefield! "

Liu Angier was immediately dragged by Lu Yi Nan until finally the two of them were now at the well where there were other students. The other students seemed to turn their heads, seeing Lu Yi Nan bringing Liu Angier along.

Liu Angier's face was flushed red, and she lowered her head deeply without daring to raise her face because she was afraid to see things that she didn't deserve to see.

"Friends, from now onwards, we will bathe together with Brother Liu as well. Because he is like a stepchild here, so I asked him to come along. How about, do you agree with my idea?" Lu Yi Nan asked for his opinion.

Liu Angier still lowered her head, making Tan Ye Xia closer to Liu Angier and put the back of her hand on Liu Angier's forehead.

"Brother Liu, do you have a fever? Your face looks bright red like you have a bad fever," said Tan Ye Xia.

Liu Angier gradually retreated, and she was hiding behind Lu Yi Nan's back as if she only felt safe if it was Lu Yi Nan.

"No, Brother Tan. It's just that I just finished cooking. So maybe my face is this red because I've been waiting for the fireplace. This afternoon, the wood is a little wet, so it's hard to burn the fire," said Liu Angier later. Tan Ye Xia nodded his head. Then he looked at the other disciples. After all, he was the first student here.

"So how about it, do you agree if Brother Liu takes a bath with us?"

"Agree!" shouted all compactly. Liu Angier cursed herself for that. Like a nightmare, how could she have to bathe together with ten men like this?

"If there is Brother Liu, I will feel happy because someone rubbed my back while taking a shower. Just because I became the tenth disciple, I became the most persecuted human in the world," Lee Feng Yan grumbled, making all his friends laugh at him.

Meanwhile, Liu Angier could only look down, especially when the ten men began to take a shower in the bathroom cubicles that had been provided there.

Shit, Liu Angier thought. Why did she have to get caught up in this complicated matter? She simply couldn't imagine being caught in such a big problem now.

"Brother Liu, why don't you take off your clothes? Come on, don't hesitate, as a fellow male, this is a very natural thing,"

Liu Angier immediately opened her eyes wide as Lu Yi Nan came out of his bath. Luckily he was wearing a washcloth on the front of the most unsightly thing.

"Oh that, I ... I suffer from chronic skin disease. So I don't dare to take my clothes off in front of you. I will shower with full clothes on until my illness is cured. Yes, I will take a shower,"
