Yu Yan stepped out of the bathroom dressed in a pink hanfu robe, she dabbed her hair with a towel and met the handsome Fei Hong sitting on the bed with his long leg crossed over the other and a red handkerchief which blindfolded his eyes, Yu Yan gazed at him blankly, why did master Fei Hong have his eyes blindfolded with a handkerchief?
"Master Fei Hong?" her soft voice rang in his ear.
"Are you dressed already?" he asked.
"Why do you ask?"
"So I can take of the handkerchief."
Yu Yan finally understood what he meant, he blindfolded his eyes with the handkerchief so she can have privacy, but she couldn't help but ask herself, why didn't he just leave the room instead?
If he's blindfolded at this moment, it means he can't see her right now, a smile of mischief crept up to her lips, she sat at a table in front and ate some dumpling's while staring at him.
"Are you done dressing?" he asked casually.
She shook her head. "No master Fei Hong, I'm not, just a couple more minutes." she continued to eat the dumplings, he listened to her words obnoxious to the fact he was being decieved. An idea suddenly occured to her, If he can't see her right now, she can escape from here, she imagined herself chuckling in an evil tone.
She slowly got to her feet watching him carefully as she did so, he seems to have no clue, she silently tip toed to the door, she opened it slowly but was awestruck when the door suddenly locked by itself, she turned around and met Fei Hong closing in on her, she rested her back on the door staring wide eyed at him, his eyes still blindfolded with a handkerchief.
"Trying to escape aren't you?" he asked.
How was he able to catch her?, she made sure her steps were as silent as that of shadow knights.
"Your steps were soft and it was slowly fading." he took off the handkerchief making her gaze into his beautiful dark eyes.
"You're dressed as well."
Yu Yan gulped hard, what does he plan on doing to her now?, he leaned close to her with one of his hand resting on the door.
"You decieved me and....."
"Alright alright, I won't run away but don't hurt me." she sounded pleading.
"I won't hurt a disciple of mine." he stepped away from her making her heart calm a bit.
There was a sudden knock on the door, Fei Hong stepped out of the room to find out who it was, Yu Yan wanted to catch her breath but Fei Hong's voice from the other end was heard.
"Step out of the room Yu Yan." he said Making her heart stop, does she have to follow him around like some watch dog? I guess that's what it takes being a disciple.
Fei Hong headed downstairs and opened the front door, a man dressed in a kimono smiled at Fei Hong.
"I heard you're back and with a disciple too." he said.
Fei Hong folded his arms. "Devil king, what brings you here?"
"I'm here to see your disciple."
Fei Hong had known devil king too well, he was one of the most dangerous immortal in Yiran who nearly turned earth to a sudden turmoil but after being brought to justice, he had a change of heart and became Fei Hong's second man, he was a man of few words and loved going straight to the point.
"Why would you want that?" he asked.
"Cause I want to see her."
Fei Hong raised a suspicious brow at him, "I hope you have no plans on eating my disciple?"
Oh yes, he ate humans when he was still on the dark side, he was like the devil himself. he chuckled.
"Not at all."
Although this two were quite close now, they always plotted against each other without hiding it, no one understood the kind of friendship they had.
Yu Yan came down the stairs and walked close to Fei Hong.
"You asked for me?"
Fei Hong gestured at the devil king. "Meet devil king, one of the greatest in Yiran."
The devil king smiled. "I don't think so, I'm not a great sage of the heavens like you."
Yu Yan suddenly met the devil Kings gaze.
"G... greetings." she bowed.
He kept his gaze on her without uttering a word, Yu Yan found his gaze uncomfortable, why would someone be named devil king?!, she found it to be a blasphemy.
He suddenly chuckled. "Are you Fei Hong's disciple?"
She nodded, the devil king said nothing further, what a sudden faith, if only they could see what he saw right now.
He averted his gaze at Fei Hong. "Have you shown your disciple around Yiran?"
Fei Hong sighed inwardly. "Not yet."
"Come with me, I'll show you around Yiran."
Something about him gave Yu Yan a fright, especially how he stared at her earlier like he saw through her. She glanced up at Fei Hong who noticed her hesitation. He gazed at Devil king.
"I'll come with, just so you don't eat my disciple."
"Eat?!" Yu Yan froze in fear as Fei Hong said those words, he glanced down at her but said nothing further.
"Let's go." he walked out, The devil king said nothing.
He wasn't afraid of anyone but when it comes to Fei Hong, Fei Hong was by far stronger and more powerful, the strongest of all immortal's, someone who he couldn't dare mess with but with his disciples arrival, he couldn't see their fates but he could sense something odd from it which he can't clerify.
Yu Yan followed Fei Hong afraid of being left with the devil king and after hearing he eats humans too.
They took a walk down the peaks of Yiran, Devil king walked ahead with his dark ponytail moving with the wind, his hair had a bit of silver lining and his red piercing eyes remained Locked on the path they took, his arrival made the immortal's of Yiran run away from him, everyone was afraid of him, even the king himself except for Fei Hong who was the only one who stood a match with him, one of the reasons the devil king was so fond of him.
Yu Yan noticed the way people ran away at the sight of the devil king, it made her shudder, she glanced up at Fei Hong who kept a straight face, wasn't he scared?
They got to a magical river which was located at the remote West in Yiran, juizhaigo is a magical multi colored lake surrounded by vast mountains, Yu Yan stared in amazement.
"What is this place?" she asked.
"It's juizhaigo lake." Fei Hong replied in a neutral tone.
"This lakes changes colour through out the year." Devil king added. " when the landscape changes colour, it provides a backdrop of autumnal hues during fall."
Yu Yan furrowed her brow in confusion. "Fall?"
"He means the rainy season." Fei Hong pointed it out clearly for her.
"It's also were the immortal's come to heal."
Yu Yan gazed at the water, so it's a magical healing water, she wondered if it would work for a mortal like her. it has such a dazzling beauty.
They went further down the peaks of Yiran in Mount Xuandu, as he showed and explained to Yu Yan each part of the place which she seemed to understand, who knew Yiran kingdom could look so magical.
Yu Yan gazed at the blooming flowers as their scents enriched the air, they looked so beautiful but one had refused to bloom, she gazed at it curiously, why wasn't it blooming, she touched it gently so she doesn't fall of a petal, she sighed and walked out to meet Fei Hong.
Devil king didn't miss that, he gazed at the flower she touched and watched it suddenly bloom, it didn't bloom for a long time but after she placed her hands on it, it suddenly bloomed, he chuckled lightly, she clearly has no clue.
Someone suddenly rushed over to meet Fei Hong, Fei Hong gazed at the immortal disciple who bowed before him.
"Master Fei Hong, the kingdom is being attacked by nine tailed fox demon's, we need your help." he said, Yu Yan's eyes widened, attacked!!.
Fei Hong sighed. "Those annoying demons!" he cursed under his breath and gazed at Yu Yan. "This is a matter I need to handle, find somewhere safe and hide."
Although frightened, Yu Yan shook her head. "No, I'm your disciple, i have to be there to learn."
Devil king chuckled. "This is going to be fun."
Fei Hong nodded and they left juizhaigo lake, Yu Yan followed trail, she could already hear the sound of battles from afar making her heart jump in fear.
They got to the gate of the Yiran kingdom and a battle was taking place between immortal's and demons.
Fei Hong gazed at Yu Yan. "Hide behind the bushes, don't step out."
She gladly nodded and hurried to the bushes, Fei Hong gazed at the battle taking place, Devil king was eager to get his hands dirty, it's been a while since they got attacked.
"They must be sent from who knows who." Devil king said drawing out his fiery sword,he went into battle.
Fei Hong on the other hand was actually studying the scene, his father wasn't in the battle scene, he thought as much.
The evil nine tailed fox demon's all had their eyes on Fei Hong, Fei Hong smirked seeing he's caught their attention.
"Shall we?" he swept his long sleeve in a graceful arc summoning his long golden staff.
The demons were bold enough to charge at him, he stood in place while they launched at him, he swept his staff in the air and a white light shun from it's tip, he smirked and charged at the demons and with one swift move, he sent thousands of demons flying off the peak of mount Xuandu.
Yu Yan watched in awe as her master dealt with the demons, he didn't seem to be trying at all, he was fierce and graceful, the disciples who had been training before hand also joined the battle to test their skills.
Yu Yan was so taken by the battle in front of her, she didn't realize a demon had snuck in from behind her, before she realized, it was too late and it lashed at her with it's axe, Yu Yan screamed and blocked her face with her hands.
