Too Much Free Time

The two eunuchs look at each other, is the man in front of them joking? But not, the two of them were getting ready to decide with rock paper scissors, but their hands were shaking and it was hard to even lift them.

"K-Kung Kung" Eunuch Yo trembled, he wanted to live. Eunuch Wen also saw him with big eyes, he also wanted to live. Both were trying to win the fingers game but they kept putting out the same result many times, repeating for the same fingers. The cold sweat dripped from both foreheads.

Dai Yang who was waiting almost fell asleep from boredom.

"Hoaaa this is going to be a long time, I don't have all day Yen Yen must have missed me, heh" Finally the young man gracefully turned his body and walked away, the two eunuchs were relieved because they thought he would let them live, but...

"Sheet!!"

A gust of wind passed and something sharp slashed their necks. The fresh blood spurted into the air right in front of their own big eyes. The two eunuchs were still not aware of what had happened, both of them died sitting with their necks almost falling off their heads, full of blood, and eyes still bulging big.

Dai Yang had just flicked the tip of his hand and his immense profound strength killed the two useless men without any effort. Corpses covered in blood lay around the very quiet and calm road leaving only the horses standing firmly not understanding what had happened. 

"Brrrruuhh"

...…..

The river water which was not far behind Elder Oei's hut flowed with its clear and cold water, carrying some dry leaves that had fallen and flowing far away. Some beautiful birds fly around the water looking for small fish that appear to swim to the surface, with their small and agile beaks they always manage to catch their prey and fly back up the tree.

The sound of knives cutting on wooden mats and grinding medicine could be heard in the morning. Early in the morning, Elder Oei and his disciple A He were already busy preparing medicine for some of their patients from a nearby village.

Inside Er Yuen's room.

Er Yuen opened his eyes feeling the already bright sky outside. He always wakes up early so it's no longer strange to wake up at that hour, but, someone who is now sitting on his chin with his hands on the edge of his bed seems to be still enjoying his sleep comfortably.

Er Yuen slowly got up, grabbed his blanket, and used it to cover Dai Yang's back who was fast asleep, being careful not to wake him up.

"Brother Yang, why are you not sleeping in your place" Since how many days Dai Yang often stayed at the small cottage usually he would sleep on the rattan divan not far from his bed.

Er Yuen lowered his two legs from the bed. His body was feeling much better after a whole day of sleeping, he no longer felt the pain as much as yesterday. Although he was still a little bit dazed, he was much better. He had to get up early and help his teacher prepare the medicine that the residents would take that afternoon.

But just getting up from his seat Er Yuen whose head was suddenly very dizzy lost his balance.

"Akh" he fell back backward and was caught spontaneously by Dai Yang who had woken up, he held Er Yuen's back holding the young man from falling.

Dai Yang and Er Yuen's eyes met. Dai Yang saw Er Yuen's pair of beautiful golden eyes. He was subconsciously attracted to the pretty lips and tilted his head to kiss him, but Er Yuen pushed Dai Yang's chest.

"Brother"

Dai Yang smiled, Er Yuen's shy face getting even more adorable.

"Be careful Yen Yen, you're not feeling well yet, it's better to stay in bed for now, where are you going?"

Er Yuen straightened his seat.

"Ehm, Yuen'er wants to help the Teacher prepare the medicine, today he opens the clinic to the public. He must be so busy now"

Dai Yang tilted his head back, raising his hand to touch Er Yuen's red cheek.

"Your cheeks are still red like this, do you still have a headache? Still a little feverish" said Dai Yang touching Er Yuen's forehead.

Er Yuen lowered Dai Yang's hand.

"I'm fine, brother, let's go to the hall."

Not long after, Er Yuen joined them at the back small building not far from the hut, which they used as the medicinal hall to accept the patients. As Yuen Er said, it was quite crowded that day. Some villagers or perhaps wanderers on purpose come from afar to the valley, for treatment of the magic Healer Oei. A He was seen sending the old people to the front for priority after short checks. He was indeed the successor for the old healer.

Dai Yang sat near the door of the small room for medicine preparation, looking at Er Yuen. He is a King who could do what kind of work, but he restrained himself from seeing Er Yuen who was so busy that he forgot about his body condition.

On the way to the hut.

A Ning and Mei Lan approached after morning walks from the clan there.

"Brother, aren't you afraid of the Master He's scolding? Running away from morning exercise" said Mei Lan.

A Ning glanced at Mei Lan, looking at her from head to toe.

"Then? What are you doing here? The chairman will also be angry if he finds out that you have run away from training. You always follow me everywhere."

Mei Lan tugged on A Ning's sleeve, her eyes narrowed deeply.

"Brother A Ning, not everywhere, only to my Yuen Er. Besides, it was you the one who followed me, I have been here so many times before you, so why do you come here every day too?"

A Ning was about to answer, he was so annoyed by the only daughter of the chairman's word, but A Ning thought again.

"Em, because before this, Master's eyes were everywhere and gave me no choice but to join the training, it makes me can't run away. But now, I don't care anymore. We always practice every day, when can I spend my time with a Yuen? He was the reason I was coming here"

Mei Lan pursed her lips, the older brother who has been a disciple of Elder He Tao since the age of twelve entered the clan because he was friends with Er Yuen as a child. He followed Er Yuen everywhere and even tried to enter the clan to become a permanent student, even though the young man came from a very rich family. He is the only son of a Clearwater City merchant who is also still in the same family as the mayor, it is said that his grandfather was one of the Main Advisors in the imperial court. His family was very influential and powerful. His grandfather always asks him to enter the exam and join him in the Palace, but A Ning refuses to leave Yuen Er. This Young Master has too much free time to spend.

The two entered the courtyard of the Oei hut, A Ning could not wait to go in and meet Er Yuen. As he was about to climb the stairs, An Ning suddenly stopped. He saw something quite familiar on the second rung.

"This?"
