Chapter 24 : THE VOW!

Listening to Futian's reaction made the girls at the loss of what to say. His innocent reaction made them even more flabbergasted. This junior brother of theirs was something.

" If the martial soul orb broke during your test, doesn't that mean your martial soul is unknown?"

" I guess so."

Hearing Futian's reply made the girls nod slightly. They had finally confirmed something. All the disciples of Palace master Ounyu Rein were oblivious to their martial roots. But what could be the reason behind this? No one knew, maybe only Palace Master Ounyu had the answer to that.

" What took place in the forbidden ground?" Qian Lu asked with a hint of greater curiosity compared to before.

" The forbidden!" .

<[ A life and death vow between Host and Protector has been initiated!]>

" What kind of oath is that? And how did I gain a protector!"]

<[ When Host met the architect in one his life and death scenarios in life, you asked one of your friends to be saved. The cost she paid was to become your lifetime protector which Host agreed to. Both parties agreed matually hence the initiation of the 'vow.]>

" Can the oath be broken?"

<[ Host must level up to unlock information ]>

The hell with level up!

" Is Ju-Hui my protector?"

<[ Correct! Protector goes by the name Ju-Hui ]>

" Junior brother what's wrong?" Qin Yue asked looking at silent Futian

" Nothing much!"

Sigh! Remembering how he almost lost his life in the forbidden ground made Futian sigh! He moved forward and took a seat just beside the two girls as he began narrating.

" ... I had completed a tough fight against a two-tier beast when I came across a four-tier beast..."

" You met the principal's daughter, Ju-Hui there?"

" And you passed through all that with her?" The two girls asked questions simultaneously.

" Yeah! " Futian's reply made the two girl look at their junior brother in a different perspective. A new student who broke the martial root orb during the test .This caused him to attract the eye of their master who allowed to partake in the second. The second test proved to be no easy pie. After a fight against a two tier beast, he ran into a four tier beast which led him to the Devil's graveyard.

Fortunately he met Ju-Hui, the principal's and most outstanding beauty of the college even before being admitted. Together they faced the army of skeletons which enabled them have a break through. Followed by a flood river which led them towards a cave with a thousand year Body cleansing milk that enabled him to partake in another series of break throughs.

These near-death experiences seemed so fictional yet how life threatening were the actual scenarios. How challenging were these trials? How deadly and risky was it? Maybe only those who experienced it had the answer.

Sigh!

" Senior sister! Senior sister! Did you just hear what happened?" A chubby youth about seventeen entered the room. His face was blackened with smoke and his hair and clothes messy and untidy.

" What wrong with you Little punny!" Qian Lu asked.

Moving his eyes in the room, his eyes landed on a youth who sat besides his Senior sister chatting casually with her! His lowered jaw immediately dropped. Who didn't know how strict his senior sister was? How to ruthless she was when dealing with them? Even if their master was the Palace master, everyone knew that Second Sister was the real boss here. No one doubted that. It was a well known fact in the cottage. And yet this youth was seating and casually chatting with her.

Had his eyes began playing tricks on him? Was he really not dreaming? Where was this world heading to?

" He...! He...!" Fifth brother, Jiang Chen cried as he pointed at Futian in disbelief.

" Oh you mean Junior Brother Futian! He is the seventh disciple of the cottage master has chosen."

Jiang Chen calmed down a little but the shock in his eyes did not leave.

" Speak! What brought you here?"Qin Yue asked impatiently.

" Yes! Yes! My spy bettles just received news that the Principal's daughter, Ju-Hui has woken up from comma."

" What else?" Qin Yue added in a displeased tone.

" Aaah! " Jiang Chen cried as he wondered why the two didn't look too surprised.Even the new junior brother didn't show any sign of surprise but instead frowned a little before regaining his calm.

" Who you want me to repeat myself?"

" No! No! Not at all! I'll tell you everything I know."

" It is said that when Ju-Hui woke up, the first name she called out was Ye Futian and said something about ' life together ' No one understood the meaning of the words. It is said that it sounded like a vow is some foreign language." Looking that how silent everyone was, Jiang Chen continued.

" It is also said that that Ju-Hui woke up when she had broken into the mid Spiritual Consolidation realm the same as Sixth sister!"

The piece of news surprised the two girls. This type of cultivation these two were undergoing was insane. It seemed as though cultivation was turning out to be a joke.

" What else?"

" It is said that when she woke up, Her beauty was better than before and can now be compared you."

" What do you think about that claim Junior brother?" Qin Yue asked with a smile catching Futian off guard. Everyone present looked at him curiously.

" Senior sister must be joking. How can silver pearl be compared to jade?"

" ' How can a silver pearl be compared to jade'" Qin Yue contemplated upon the statement.
