Vol 2 Chapter 10 (1/2)
“Master! I have brought him in.” said Lu Hu politely.
The hair of the two elders were graying white. Xuan Luo felt unease: They are the Masters of Wu Dang? Why are they so old? And why does one of them have a bird’s nest on his head?
Obviously, Xuan Luo kept those thoughts to himself. Seeing how Lu Hu was being so respectful, those two must have a lot of status in Wu Dang.
Xuan Luo felt a bit confused. He still doesn’t know who the two elders were. He doesn’t know how to acknowledge them. At that moment, he is only standing behind Lu Hu; gazing at the two elders.
“Young man, you want to join Wu Dang?” asked the old man with the bird’s nest on his head. Looking at Xuan Luo’s youthful face, he immediately stepped out and got straight to the point.
“Umm..I don’t know what I’m supposed to call you, ye ye?!” Xuan Luo was trying to be polite. His head was down, but he secretly took a peep at the old man.
“Oh my goodness, Little Lu (Lu Hu). You didn’t introduce us!? You haven’t done a proper job!” The old man looked a bit agitated.
Lu Hu immediately smartened up and explained to Xuan Luo, “This is my Master. He is also the Zhang Men of our Clan. The man next to him is our Zhang Lao. We call himTian Yu Zi Zhang Lao.”
After the introduction, Xuan Luo quickly said, “Zhang Men. Zhang Lao.” (In Chinese, you’re supposed to say the name of the person to show that you have acknowledged them. It’s the right and polite thing to do)
Although Xuan Luo was very polite, it didn’t seem to have any effects on the Zhang Men. On the other hand, Tian Yu Zi was the total opposite. He looked at Xuan Luo as if he had found a treasure. He placed his face extremely close to Xuan Luo; there was only about a thread of a distance between them.
Xuan Luo was not expecting this. Slowly, he tried to back away. He was afraid the old man would do something.
But the old man’s glance remained equally powerful and he pressed forward.
By now, Xuan Luo’s bow had already reached a 90 degrees angle. Yet, Tian Yu Zi was still pus.h.i.+ng. He bent down his waist because he wanted to look at Xuan Luo’s face; as if he were a fortune teller.
It was physically and mentally tiring for Xuan Luo to hold this position, since it tested the strength of his lower back and he had to deal with this odd behaviour from Tian Yu Zi.
But what choice does he have? Under the mercy of someone, one must bow down. Their position just looked rather comical.
Zhang Men sees this and loudly coughs, “Umm.. you two were not separated from before, right? This looks like a grandfather grandchild type of relations.h.i.+p!?”
Lu Hu instantly burst into laughter. Tian Yu Zi and Xuan Luo immediately tried to stand upright.
However, Xuan Luo was very quick because his back was killing him. Tian Yu Zi was a tad bit slower, and as a result, their lips touched!
Xuan Luo makes a vomiting sound. The moment he realized what had happened, he quickly grabbed his neck and tried to puke.
After a bit, he looked angrily at Tian Yu Zi, “You bird nest man! That was my first kiss!” Xuan Luo exploded.
He knows he doesn’t have the power to do anything at Wu Dang, but at least he can use his mouth.
Strangely, Tian Yu Zi didn’t seem to mind the kiss. He looked totally fine and stood where he was. Then he used his tongue to touch his lips; as if he wanted the kiss to linger.
“Master… I’m going to go now!” Lu Hu held in his laughter and quickly said to Zhang Men.
Tian Yu Zi’s misbehaviour is the topic of many disciples. As an elder, he definitely did not act like a dictator. Instead, he is very warm and easy to get along with. Thus, he is well liked within the Clan.
Once Lu Hu exited the Main Hall, he could no longer hide in his laughter. He roared and started rolling on the ground; holding his belly with his two hands.
Zhang Men ignored what had happened. “Your bones have wonderful energy and your flexibility is quite good. Your face is okay too (Usually, Chinese people like to “read” people’s faces as it could kind of tell their fortune/luck)…. I suppose you are a good Martial Arts material. Have you practiced Martial Arts before?”
“I’ve practiced for a few years.” Hearing someone praise him, Xuan Luo could not hide his pride.
“Not bad. You must have trained well in order to be so flexible. I think you might be suitable for our Clan’s Martial Arts. This is Wu Dang’s simplest xin fa. Try it, and see if you can create some internal energy.”
