章節 9: Chapter 09
"Don't push…"
"Shh—"
Faintly, Xue Yang can hear some voices from outside of the room. To be precise, it comes right from outside the door.
He then carefully walk to the door and opened it. "What are you three doing here?"
Yu Guanyu smiled abashedly, "Hehe, good evening, Senior Brother."
The other two children also looked embarrassed. But the three of them only looked at Xue Yang for a brief period before looking inside the room.
"Oh! What do we have here?" Zhou Lan's voice can be heard from inside. He has noticed the children standing by the door.
"Greeting Senior," said Yu Guanyu. She cupped her hand and the other two follows.
"These three are my junior. They are by some miracle, just like me, able to survive the disaster," said Xue Yang. "Right now, they have only started their cultivation. You three, introduce yourself."
Yu Guanyu, as usual, is the one that leads the children, "Senior, my name is Yu Guanyu. The boy behind me is called Zhang Hao, meanwhile, the girl is Liu Mei."
"Nice to meet you, I am Zhou Lan, and that one over there is Bai Bo," said Zhou Lan. "Bai Bo, don't you think she looks similar to our junior?"
Bai Bo that looks at Yu Guanyu and said, "Oh! You are right.
"I wonder how she is doing right now…"
Zhou Lan says, "Fellow cultivator Xue, the sun has almost completely set. It looks like it is a good time for us to go.
"Here is a little money in exchange for the spiritual water and us damaging the defensive formation," said Zhou Lan. He handed a Grade 3 Spirit Stone to Xue Yang.
"Wait, you don't need to give me money for that," Xue Yang rejected and tried to shove it back to Zhou Lan. "Also, even if I wanted some money, this is too much."
"No way, this is too little for the Spiritual Water," added Bai Bo.
Zhou Lan also tried to convince Xue Yang, "What Bai Bo said is true. A kettle full of Spiritual Water can be sold much higher.
"I am sorry that I can only pay you this much. We have used most of our money.
"In exchange for that, I will give you a guest token for our sect. Feel free to visit it."
A white coin with a golden pattern inscribed on it is thrown to Xue Yang. The golden pattern looks so beautiful. It makes one want to look at it again and again.
Yu Guanyu that heard the conversation asks, "Senior, is Spiritual Water really that expensive?"
"Yes, it is. Based on the grade of the Spiritual Water, its price will change.
"For the one you used here, even a Grade 2 Spirit Stone is not enough to buy a small vial of it.
"That is why I pay it with a Grade 3 Spirit Stone."
Spirit Stone is graded by the energy stored inside. The higher the grade, the energy stored is higher. If used as money, one Grade 2 Spirit Stone is equal to a thousand Grade 1 Spirit Stones.
Zhou Lan answered and is now ready to go. Bai Bo just follows him.
"Then, we will go," said Zhou Lan.
"Wait a minute,"
Xue Yang stopped the pair from leaving the building. "Before going, follow me for a bit."
***
"Wha—" Bai Bo is shocked, no words escape from his mouth.
"Take away the Spiritual Water as much as you want," said Xue Yang. "Just take this as a token of our friendship. Bring one for your master too."
The place where Xue Yang brought the pair is obviously the Spring of Spiritual Water. Seeing that the pair valued Spiritual Water that much, Xue Yang decided to give some to them.
Also, there is another goal of Xue Yang. He wanted to befriend them. He knows that the pairs are disciples of a Stage 6 Cultivation Master. Xue Yang wanted to at least plant some goodwill from them.
Who knows, maybe, someday he will need some help from the pair. It is good if nothing happens, but…
"To think that there is a Spring of Spiritual Water here."
Even Zhou Lan is surprised. This is not the first time both of them have seen a Spring of Spiritual Water. But it is rare enough that only a handful of people have seen it.
"Then, I will not hold myself back."
Zhou Lan then opened his spatial bag. He then pulls a few bottles from the bag. Both Zhou Lan and Bai Bo then started to fill the bottle with the water that flows from the bamboo.
"I will remember this and pay back at a later date," says Bai Bo. "For now, I can only regard you as my friend.
"I vow to the Ear—"
Once again, Xue Yang moves his hand when he heard the first word. He stopped Bai Bo when he wanted to take another vow.
"I don't need some vow. I will regard you as a friend, and you will also do the same. Let's just believe each other for now," says Xue Yang. "And as your friend, I will give a suggestion for you.
"You should stop doing the vow. It will become a problem if you have too many vows. You will need to finish all of them. And who knows when you will finish it if you vow to the Earth once every day."
Only after saying all of that, did Xue Yang pull his hand from Bai Bo's mouth.
He then looked at Zhou Lan, "You too. You should stop him when he is doing the vow. Not following him to do the same.
"I can understand your master now on why he still forbids both of you from entering your sect.
"If you two wanted to go back, here is a little tip.
"Look for what kind of behavior that you do, see what is wrong with it. Then ask forgiveness for that.
"Then make a promise with your master to not do the weird vow again. Especially the one that involves your master.
"Understand?"
Bai Bo and Zhou Lan didn't expect Xue Yang to 'scold' them. They can only nod their head and think about it.
"Good!"
Xue Yang feels that somehow, he is the most mature person in this place. He only guides the children for a few weeks, but he feels like he has become a parent.
"Now, you two can go… Don't forget to come here again when you have the time."
