Training Under Feng Tiansheng

Master Feng Tiansheng had Wu Jian meet with him the very next day, and the first thing he did was make Wu Jian remove his mask. He said that it was a sign of respect, that no master would apprentice someone who refused to show their face, and that he would renege his promise to let Wu Jian apprentice under him if he didn’t do it.

Wu Jian had been wearing a mask ever since he first bought it way back when. It had been how he hid his identity to protect himself from being discovered by Wu Meiying’s enemies. It had been a good idea, according to Wu Meiying. She had explained how her enemies could find him. A person’s presence in time was like a ripple on the surface of a lake. Each ripple had a unique signature that was different from everyone else’s. Her enemies could discover him by finding his specific ripple within the sea of time.
