“Master. Supremacy Lonemoon is here again,” Yi Qing said hesitantly as he put away the cutlery.

“Oh,” lazily responded the person laying on the table, having eaten her fill.

“It has already been the fifth day.” Yi Qing continued, “He stood by the door everyday, but for some reason does not come in.” If he wanted to stand, let him be. The plant at the entrance was already balding because of him plucking its leaves.

“Perhaps exposing him in front of everyone was a little too much!” Shen Ying could not be bothered. She turned away and continued to lay there. “Just get used to it and it will be fine.”

“Expose?” Taken aback, he suddenly recalled that five days ago, Master had indeed asked a question which resulted in Supremacy Lonemoon dashing out in a hurry. Ever since then, he had begun to wear an expression that suggested constipation, and stood by their door daily. “Oh right, Master mentioned transmigration that day… What does that mean?” Could it be some kind of high level Dharmic Dao?

“This… explaining might be a little troublesome.” Shen Ying furrowed her brows before continuing, “You can understand it as… that he came from the same hometown as me.”

Shocked, Yi Qing said, “So he and Master actually has such an affinity!” No wonder Supremacy Lonemoon came over here everyday but did not come in—it was all because of the affection and sentiment towards his hometown that made him want to look for Master to reminisce it.

Wait a moment!

If he were from the same hometown as Master, Lonemoon must have heard of how formidable Master was. Previously, he wanted to get him as his disciple so perhaps he did not recognize her but, now that it was out in the open, could it be that… recalling the past events gave rise to his admiration and worship of Master, and made him want to… also become Master’s disciple?!

o(?Д?)っ!

Yi Qing’s heart wrenched at the thought and felt stuffiness in his chest. The figure by the door immediately became an eyesore; he had only just managed to become Master’s disciple yet people were already being envious.

With this thought in mind, he quickly finished washing the dishes, summoned out his spiritual sword and plunged down onto his knees before the table.

“What are you doing?” Shen Ying was shocked.

Yi Qing raised his head with anticipation. “Master, please impart me the ways of cultivation.”

Shen Ying stiffened up and she shed a drop of sweat. It’s here. The chef wants to start learning skills. Cultivation… what exactly was cultivation? Now what? It was time to get what she deserved for all those times she acted cool!

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

“That… isn’t so urgent right?”

“It cannot be considered a matter of urgency,” he said with a face of conviction. “But thanks to Master’s sympathy and understanding from before, I have completely recovered, and my Spirit Qi is also back to normal. I am ready to practice cultivation.”

“You… are sure that you can?” Please don’t. I can still be more sympathizing.

“Yes!” He nodded hard. But looking at Shen Ying’s awkwardness, he suddenly thought of something. “Master, is your body not alright?”

“Uh… No…” Is feeling sleepy after eating till full considered not alright?

He breathed a sigh of relief then said, “Master, please give me your guidance.”

“…”

“Master, are you worried about my current level of swordsmanship?” guessed Yi Qing, seeing that she did not reply for a while. “It’s my negligence. How about we change location and I can demonstrate for Master to see. Perhaps you can then guide me from the side?”

“Uh… Oh.” Could she even refuse?

Yi Qing stood up immediately, his face lit with excitement as he formed a hand seal before habitually bringing Shen Ying along on his sword and flew out of the peak.
