Chapitre 11: Chapter 11
Xue Yang brings Liu Mei to the sect master building. He let Liu Mei cry out until she runs out of energy and sleep.
He then performed a body check on Liu Mei.
"There is nothing wrong with her body," muttered Xue Yang.
He let out a soft sigh.
Xue Yang is relieved.
'At least she is crying not because she is injured.'
Xue Yang then does a more in-depth check on Liu Mei. He found that the qi inside her body is almost all spent.
***
It is only an hour later when Liu Mei opened her eyes. Her eyes are still red.
"You already awake?"
"Uhm," nodded Liu Mei.
"Here, a tea," said Xue Yang.
The tea is brewed using normal water that is mixed with a drop of Spiritual Water.
Liu Mei is still in the first step of cultivation. She can't drink too much Spiritual Water. That is why Xue Yang only added a drop of Spiritual Water.
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
"Have you calmed down?"
"Yup," replied Liu Mei after she sipped down the warm tea.
"So, what happened? Did you get injured?"
Xue Yang decided to ask. He has known that her body is not injured, but it is a good starter question, so he asks about it.
Liu Mei slowly shakes her head. "No…"
"Do you want to talk about it?"
Liu Mei looks around the room. Her mouth moved, but not long after it closed again.
She looked at Xue Yang. To which Xue Yang replied with a smile.
After hesitating for a few minutes, Liu Mei opens her mouth. Her eyes started to get wet again.
"I, I—"
Tears start to drop from her eyes.
"I cannot do anything…," said Liu Mei.
Xue Yang sits closer to the girl. He patted her head and cleaned her face using some kind of cloth that he used as a handkerchief.
"It is okay, it is okay," whispered Xue Yang.
"But… The other two are— are able to do it…"
*hic*
"I am— I am the only one that can't do it."
Xue Yang more or less understands the situation now. Liu Mei is having a mental breakdown right now.
'Well, there are many things that happened to her in a short time.'
***
Less than two months ago, Liu Mei was accepted as a disciple in Silk Sword Sect. She needs to live in the sect, which means parting away with her parents.
But before she gets any training, the sect disappeared. She is separated from her parents and her new home is no longer around.
All of that must take a toll on Liu Mei's mental health.
'Then, when she decided to keep training, she put up a strong face. Maybe at that time, her mind was already strained.'
And Xue Yang's instruction for the girls to copy Zhang Hao's breathing pattern might be the last straw.
To be precise, it was not Xue Yang's instruction. But Liu Mei's inability to follow her friends that break the camel's back.
When the children started training, Zhang Hao progressed faster than the girls. At that time, Liu Mei still has Yu Guanyu that was progressing at the same rate as her.
But after Yu Guanyu is able to copy what Zhang Hao did. Suddenly Liu Mei is the only one that gets left behind.
'So, that is why she looked at Yu Guanyu before they started training?'
Liu Mei feels that she will get left behind. That is why she looks at Yu Guanyu with such a serious expression.
She is trying her best to understand the breathing pattern. Even when they started running, Liu Mei most likely looking at Zhang Hao.
But no matter how many times she observes Yu Guanyu and Zhang Hao, she never gets it right.
No matter how many times she imitates the movement and the breathing, Liu Mei can't do it.
***
Xue Yang hugged Liu Mei. He softly said, "It is okay, it is okay…
"Everyone has their own setbacks.
"This time, it was your setback. But tomorrow, it might be me, or Yu Guanyu, or Zhang Hao."
Liu Mei is still crying slowly.
Xue Yang didn't ask why Liu Mei is not able to understand the breathing pattern. This kind of thing can be resolved at a later date.
For now, Xue Yang only needs to calm Liu Mei down.
It took Xue Yang a lot of reassuring words and half an hour for Liu Mei to calm down.
***
Based on this incident, Xue Yang has decided to do a few more things in the future.
First, he will look at mental health more. He will not only look at the body's health.
Xue Yang's mind is filled with regret. He regretted that he neglects to think about the mental side of things.
'Just because they are more mature than other children, in the end, they are still children.'
Second, he needs to get the Breathing Exercise Method as soon as possible.
Xue Yang has a guess that Zhang Hao's breathing pattern is not compatible with Liu Mei.
And that means, he will need a new Breathing Exercise Method to be taught to Liu Mei.
So, Xue Yang needs to go to the city and look for the Breathing Exercise Method.
And third, Xue Yang needs to open the system shop.
One big reason this incident happened is that Xue Yang didn't have a Breathing Exercise Method suitable for Liu Mei.
If Xue Yang has the system store already, maybe this incident can be avoided. He might have handed a Breathing Exercise Method that is perfect for Liu Mei. And Liu Mei will be able to follow it, keep up with the children and she will never get a mental breakdown.
"But that is only my imagination. The incident has happened. What I can do is to make sure that similar incidents will not happen again," muttered Xue Yang in his room, alone.
So, to sum it up, Xue Yang needs to do three things. First, mental health related things. Second, buy a Breathing Exercise Method. Third, get two new disciples.
L’AVIS DES CRÉATEURS 
Mouri
Mouri I have rewritten this chapter a lot of times, but it still always felt wrong. This is the best that I have, but I still feel that it lacks something.
Too bad, the day is almost over and I haven't submitted a chapter so I can only grit myself and upload this chapter. (To complete my goal of posting daily)
Thanks for reading...
