119 A Lifeless Town (1/2)

Yun Bei Fen looked at Mei Chao Bing with a sad expression. Mei Chao Bing's Master really hadn't been a nice person. He had already known that before but seeing his senior martial brother like this just made him realize this point once again. If he had been nicer, then things wouldn't be like this. Mei Chao Bing wouldn't need to be so sad all the time. It really was a pity.

He couldn't help but wonder if there was anything he could do about it. He couldn't bring Mei Chao Bing's Master back or make him into a better person but maybe he could do something else for him that would make him happy again?

He pondered but couldn't come up with anything. He really wished that his senior martial brothers were there so that he could ask them for some advice. Unfortunately, he could only wish for that and it still wouldn't become true.

Well, his first senior martial brother would come by sooner or later but he didn't know just when that would be. And if he didn't have any idea, then he also wouldn't get any further. It was a very difficult situation.

Mei Chao Bing pulled himself out of his thoughts and patted Yun Bei Fen's head. ”Don't think about it any further. Anyway, we can only try to be vigilant so that we won't step right into their traps. I guess I'll go and tell your Master after all. In the end, as long as they know, they can try to think it through. And your Master and Elder Xing know my Master probably better than I do. So maybe they'll be able to anticipate whatever he is planning.”

Yun Bei Fen nodded. If his senior martial brother said so, then it had to be true.

”Alright, you've practiced quite some time already. How about we go to sleep now? We've been working all this time so you're probably tired.”

Yun Bei Fen looked up at the sky that was slowly turning a little darker even though it definitely couldn't be called night. ”I can still practice some more. I don't mind.” He didn't want to give up yet. He still had to learn a lot so that his senior martial brother Mei could be proud of him.

Mei Chao Bing originally wanted to try and convince him but in the end, he nodded. ”Alright, if you think so, then you should definitely continue.” Anyway, it was good if he practiced some more. That way, he would be less vulnerable in the future. He shouldn't try to stop him just because he wasn't there with his thoughts.

Yun Bei Fen nodded happily and then got up again, lifting his sword to try further. This time, Mei Chao Bing also paid attention and tried to give him advice when he could. Well, it wasn't that easy. Yun Bei Fen had already grasped the concept and would just need to spend more time on it. There wasn't much he could do about that other than accompanying him and reminding him every now and then that things would turn out well if he just kept at it.

While the two of them were immersed in the training, a man stood on a hill not far from the town, his black robe and hair billowing in the wind. He watched the letter that Elder Baili had written rise into the air and then fly off toward the direction of the Teng Yong Sect.
