19 Sworn Brothers (1/2)

Feng Tian decided not to hold anything back from Yun Tai, he was closer to him than his blood related brothers. He was his sworn brother whom he cares for most in this world.

They were an unlikely pair of friends, Feng Tian and Yun Tai. They had met as children at the Old Master's house on the highest mountain in Cloud's Edge Wilderness.

Yun Tai had recently been adopted by the old man and Feng Tian's father had sent hi m there to learn martial arts. The Old Master had taught each of his older brothers but had an affinity for Feng Tian.

Of course Yun Tai saw this spoiled boy and instantly took a dislike to him.

But the old man treated them the same, being as harsh to Feng Tian as he was to Yun Tai. That was one of the reasons Yun Tai respected his friend so much, he never wanted special treatment. When the Master's cane on his back because he was dissatisfied with his performance, Feng Tian just gritted his teeth and hid his pain.

They studied the Dao with the old man's friend the priest who lived behind the Forest of Illusion.

”From zero to one”

”From one comes two”

”From two comes four”

”The four are expressed through the eight”

They spent countless hours trying to understand the words of the priest, until it became ingrained in them. Staring at their swords they were itching to swing and practice not realizing how these teachings were as important for their future as their martial arts.

So through the years they sparred together, learned cultivation techniques, and laughed and went on adventures together.

They had a relationship that had never been shaken although they were different as day and night.
