"Disciple!"

Rong Yuan was surprised to see Huan here.

Seeing Huan's shocked face he understood that maybe Huan saw him while he was in an enlightened state.

"Uh-h... Hell-llo, M-master..."

Huan spoke while stuttering, his way of speaking was really amusing.

"..."

"How long have you been here?"

Yuan asked as he was interested in it.

"...Uhh... About two hours? Or one?"

Huan spoke after thinking about it, he too must have lost the track of time.

"Well, did you learn something useful?"

Yuan asked again, after all, the system showed a notification about it.

"Oh, yeah! Thank you, Master! I learned a lot and my understanding of swords has increased a lot. I am happy! And... and... you were amazing! Your movements and your swordplay were all amazing! I have never seen this kind of swordsmanship! And you are a dual swordsman too!"

Huan expressed his understanding and he regained his cheerful self in a moment, bombarding Yuan with compliments and questions alike.

"Ok, ok, slow down a little bit, disciple..."

Rong Yuan answered Huan's questions in a calm manner with simple and little words.

Rong Yuan was surprised to see this side of Huan, he always saw him in a fight, depressed or serious state.

{Maybe this is his true self, cheerful and determined...}

Yuan thought after his new discovery.

But, Huan's questions continued. He asked questions like "What is the name of that technique?", "What is that sword?", "Will I be able to do something like this?".

{...He is talkative too...}

Rong Yuan added this to his train of thought.

But, of course, he answered Huan's questions if he could. He was a master after all.

"Enough. It is night. Why did you come here in the first place?"

Rong Yuan asked Huan's purpose for the visit.

"Ahh! I forgot why I came here! The Sect Master told me to inform you to meet him today at night! When I came here it was dawn and you were busy with training so I didn't interrupt."

Huan spoke with worry and regret. But there was no fault in him. He came in time but Yuan was busy, and after seeing his swordplay, he too become immersed in it and forgot his initial purpose of coming here.

"Ok. Don't worry about it. Did the Sect Master say something else besides asking me to come?"

"No, I don't think he said anything... Wait! He was talking about a schedule or something when I was leaving..."

"Oh, the schedule, huh? Well, thanks! You can now leave, I will find you tomorrow myself after your lessons end, we need to meet with your brother after all."

"Yes, Master. I will do as you say!"

Huan spoke with enthusiasm, then he left the room.

"Well, I need to give lessons again, huh? Will it be as in my past life? It would be easy if it was but it would be boring too. Teaching the same stuff again..."

"Well, let's see what schedule will I have..."

"But before I leave, I need to finish something..."

Rong Yuan stopped speaking and looked at his room which was a mess.

"I don't have time to do it by hand... What can I do?"

After he thought for a bit, his eyes glittered.

"I know. I will use that technique! I hope it won't be difficult to use it..."

As he spoke he slowly drew out his spirit power and filled its range with the rooms. Then he directly controlled his spirit power to control the air, creating small winds.

The wind he created started to move as he controlled them to move the objects in the room.

He was using a spirit technique to clean up the room.

After one minute passed all the mess was cleaned, and the dust was also delivered outside of the room with the wind in the end.

"Well, all cleaned up. Now let's head to the Sect Master's Hall.

But before he stepped out of the room, he heard the system's voice again.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations! Host has unlocked the technique, "Air Manipulation Technique"! Look into the Techniques for more information...]

[Ding!]

[Congratulations! Host's mastery over the wind element has increased! As a result, the host has unlocked the Element Mastery. Look into the Affinities for more information...]

New notifications appeared before Rong Yuan and he smiled after reading them but he didn't look into them as the Sect Master was waiting for him.

He was already late so he should be hurrying that's why he didn't wait another minute and hastily walked toward his destination.

* * * * * * * * *

Finally, Rong Yuan reached the Sect Master's Hall.

He spotted two of The Guardian Hall's disciples at the entrance and when they saw him they were instantly become alarmed but after recognizing him, one of them spoke.

"Greetings, Elder Rong Yuan! The Sect Master is waiting for you inside."

"Thanks for the information. Keep up the good work! You are the guardians of the sect."

Rong Yuan spoke as he thanked them and expressed his gratitude.

As Rong Yuan said, they were the guardians of the sect, all of the people in the Guardian Hall.

All of the disciples of the Guardian Hall were strong. These two were at the Spirit User Stage too.

The Guardian Hall was created for the purpose of defending the sect and guarding it. The sect would nurture special disciples only for this job, and these disciples were usually orphans or homeless young people. They would be trained to defend the sect with all they have.

Of course, they would have their own free will, they would be given a choice to choose in the beginning. So they could decide for themselves what to choose.

Their only difference from the other disciples was their duty. For example, if the other disciples must take missions to support the sect, they have their own missions which are Guarding Hours.

They would guard the appointed locations for six hours a day, and for the rest of the day, they were free to take lessons or cultivate.

They were the true strength of the sect because the other disciples may betray the sect but they wouldn't even if that were to happen the punishment was death.

While other types of disciples would be expelled from the sect which was unfair to them. That was also another reason why Rong Yuan encouraged them.

* * * * * *

After hearing Rong Yuan's encouragement, the two disciples smiled, they were happy to realize their hard work was recognized.

"Thanks for the encouragement, Elder Yuan!"

They both bowed slightly showing their respect.

Yuan also nodded at them.

Then they opened Hall's door giving way to Rong Yuan to enter.

Rong Yuan slowly entered the Hall and when he entered the atmosphere inside the Hall startled him but it didn't show on his face.

"What took you so long, Elder Yuan?"
