25 Mysterious Teacher (1/2)
A gentle voice reached into Zhu Long's ears. ”It seems you have completed your meditation. There must have been a lot of things in your mind for you to take so long.”
Zhu Long looked up and came to face with a gentle-looking person smiling at him. Zhu Long was taken aback to see that the person who played the Zither turned out to be a man and not a woman! He shook his head and awkwardly smiled back, ”I'm grateful to you for providing me with such a wonderful melody, it helped calm me down and also think of things through...”
Zhu Long expressed his gratitude sincerely, the stress his been carrying has put a great weight on him, which has brought so many burdens leaving him all puzzled and trouble all the time.
”Hehe, I only played the Zither. You, a trespasser barged into my mansion and started to meditate to the melody of my Zither.” The man spoke firmly yet his tone was soft to the point that it sounded so girlish.

Zhu Long smiled wryly, ”I was expecting to meet the Qiang Village Head but... It seems like this is the residence of the mysterious Ku Wang..?”
The man looked to be perplexed but continued to smile. He looked deep into Zhu Long's eyes as if he was searching for secrets and said, ”It seems like you are pretty smart boy. You are correct, I am Ku Wang, The Third Elder of the Qiang Village and you must be the well-known Brother Lin..?”
Zhu Long smiled, ”Indeed, I am. It is a pleasure to meet the third elder.”
”Haha, Don't call me elder, I am around the same age as you. Just call me Brother Ku.” Ku Wang said warmly. He seemed to have no bad intentions towards Zhu Long. If he did have bad intentions, he would have already attacked Zhu Long during his meditative state, for it's when a person is at their most vulnerable state.
Ku Wang looked at Zhu long's body and then turned away suddenly, ”You... Your clothes, your clothes are torn up.”
Ku Wang looked at Zhu Long again in astonishment. He looked at Zhu Long's figure from top to bottom, his gi which was tattered and filled with a strong scent of blood. Which could only mean that Zhu Long had gone through a harsh battle before reaching here. Ku Wang had also noticed the deep red mark on Zhu Long's body in bewilderment but quickly shook his head.
'I must be overthinking, that mark ... He must have artificially put it on his body. It can't be that can it?' His head was racing while thinking of possibilities of what the mark could be.
Zhu Long noticed Ku Wang's gaze. He smiled and thought, 'It must be weird seeing someone else's body completely covered with a mark.'
He then glances at the mark on his body then faces Ku Wang and inquired, ”I wonder if Brother Ku has some spare clothes for me? This is a bit troublesome...”
Ku Wang looked at Zhu Long and answered, ”Of course, I do have spare clothes for you. I can't just let my guests roam around my home half-naked. Follow me, I will give you some clothes.”
