Chapter 36: After Yesterday [2] (1/2)

”This is my sword, Lightflex, I can simply use it to heal the heart of my enemies if he or she has a tormented heart. Not all your enemies deserve death, as a matter of fact. And I can easily draw healing energy from it in extremely critical times. The reason being that it was made based on the healing intent, and coupled with the items used in making it. Nonetheless, it can easily kill if it is really needed.”

She turned from them, and with a single step, arrived near a giant dummy used for mystical training. With a single horizontal slash, she cut the dummy into two parts.

”We will continue next time. Study hard, and practice harder.”

After the lecture, the group of newly acquainted friends gathered together at the cafeteria again. They all talked about the new developments since they last met, since they didn't always have the time to gather together unless after the lectures. Only Ju Feng was living in the second section of the boys' dormitory. Lin Cheung and Fu Yingjie were both staying in the third section, while Lin Da Xia was staying in the girls' dormitory.

”The pill was AMAZING! My whole body was vibrating in colours. It was like I could see the foundation of Jadeite pillars in my dantian. Hehehe... I even advanced to middle stage Ningchi. Amazing.”

Lin Da Xia said in an impressive tone, with an even more expressive blue eyes.

”It truly was incredible, Da Xia. Like I told you before, last-sword is the sect to be in. I advanced too. What a great feeling it was.”

Lin Cheung agreed with his sister before turning to Ju Feng who also nodded in agreement.

”Same thing with me too. It's really a wonderful feeling.”

”I've made my decision regarding the competition. I will be participating.”

Lin Da Xia uttered as she rested her hands on the table, and leaned closer.

”That's good news Da Xia. Welcome on board.”

”What about you, Yingjie?

”Don't know. Maybe.”

”Well, there's still plenty of time to decide. Don't worry that much. Take your time.”

”Yes, we still have time.”

”By the way, Ju Feng, why did elder Wan Xiu said 'interesting' when she looked at you this morning?”

”Wish I knew too.”

Ju Feng answered, shaking his head. He saw, and heard her too, but what would he say? He didn't know the reason himself, and he couldn't just go up to her and ask. Could he?

”Doesn't matter, forget about that. All the elders always have one or two things to say anyway.”

”Yingjie, something wrong? It seems something is not right or it might just be me.”

Said Lin Cheung with a concerned look on his face.

”You seemed worried, Yingjie. Anything bothering you?”
