Chapter 77: Ch. 36 Part 2

************

In Big Stone Village.....

Lin, Feng, Baihu and Mei Lin who were left behind at the village to take care of things over there, felt that their days without their master and mistress and also their fellow sisters and brother disciples were uneventful. Their days for the past week or so were spent either carrying the tasks given to them or cultivating. Lin was left in charge of overseeing the constructions. Feng and Mei Lin were tasked with replanting herbs at a given location in the martial arts school with the assistance of No.8 and No.9. Baihu was tasked with overseeing No. 1, No. 2, No. 3. No. 4 and No. 5 who were tasked with guarding and protecting the restaurant, Baihu’s job was to step in when the situation is very dire. Aunt Feng and Uncle Feng were tasked with helping out at the restaurant and taking care of the house, the Lu’s were to focus solely on their cultivations and improve before the return of Yanzhi and Xiao Ling. Everyone of them had their important roles which were left for them to do, they carry out the works given to them wholeheartedly and never slacking off. When they have nothing to do they focus on cultivating, their days without Yanzhi and Xiao Ling were like this which made them felt like their days were uneventful. It wasn’t as if Yanzhi prevented them from doing anything else but their jobs and cultivating, Yanzhi said nothing against them going to the town and having fun or do something else they wanted. It was just that to Lin, Feng, Baihu and Mei Lin who weren’t human beings in the first place and didn’t know much about the human lives, the things that humans do in their daily lives weren’t registered in their minds so they had no thoughts about such things. But instead they would prefer to spend their time with Yanzhi and Xiao Ling which made them missed Yanzhi and Xiao Ling daily.

Gallop! Gallop! Gallop! Gallop!

The clattering sounds made by horses hooves was heard as about four horses galloped into big stone village, following behind the horses was a donkey cart. The folks of big stone village recognized the person leading the horses and donkey cart to be one of Yanzhi’s servant. This made them relaxed the tension and vigilance they had when they heard the hooves of horses. They looked with questions and keen interest as they watched the horses bypass them and No. 1 leading them to Yanzhi’s house. It was no news to everyone that Yanzhi and his wife had left on a journey, but only a few people knew where they journeyed to.

"Is the Jun family’s eldest son and his wife back?" someone amidst the crowds asked curiously. Some shook their heads as others just stared with question marks. But they all were most sure that Yanzhi wasn’t back since no one has heard of his return or seen him. The folks went back to their works as others decided to follow behind the horses to Yanzhi’s house.

Four horses came to stop in front of Yanzhi’s and Xiao Ling’s house, all four horses were strong horses with strong legs but one amongst them stood out the most. Shiny smooth black fur and long smooth mane, it’s demeanor was that of proud look and elegance almost looking humane. It’s whole body hair was black whiles the other three horses where red horses, that was the horse which belonged to No. 1.

No.1 smoothened and pet it’s back when they all got down from their horses, the other three people who came along with him stood at the side with cold looks. But one amongst them who seemed to be the leader had look of disgust and disdain looking like he had a grudge.

"Please take care of the other horses for me okay" No. 1 whispered to his horse as he continued to pet it. His strange behavior of conversing with an animal made the people who came with him looked to him with pity and confusion thinking he was a total idiot. No. 1 ignored their questioning looks and continued to pet his horse looking at it pleadingly, the horse snorted and turned it’s head away.

"Okay I’ll get you twice the amount of grass from master’s sanctuary...okay?" he bargained with the horse. The horse turned back to him looking at his face with complications.

"Okay thrice the amount! No more than that!" No. 1 added, the horse neighed excitedly and used it’s nuzzle on his face as if to tell him it agreed. The people standing at the side looked with surprised expressions, but what they didn’t know was that the horse truly understood everything. All horses bought by Yanzhi and Xiao Ling gained spiritual senses because of the qi fed to them and the grass and fruits they eat from Yanzhi’s sanctuary which were with abundant pure qi, so the horses they owned were all humane and understood human speech. No. 1 smiled back to the horse and petted it one last time before moving away from it. The horse neighed at the rest of the horses looking with arrogance like a leader.

"This big brother as i already informed you our master and mistress are not present at the moment, and I’m just a guard so i can’t make any desición. I’ll call for you master’s disciples so you talk to them rather." he saluted to the leader of the people he came with.

"Where are your master’s disciples?" the leader asked with arrogance. "That young lady what was her name?..." he questioned and looked back to his fellows.

"Yue! Elder sister Yue that’s what brother Cheng calls her. He’s always talking about her and praising her." a young man looking about 17 or 18 answered getting down from the donkey cart.

"I don’t know how you disciples from Zhang Martial Arts school know eldest sister Yue, but I’m sorry to inform you that she left along with master." No. 1 informed hearing the young man speak. One could tell the seniority from the about 10 people who came with him. The three who rode on horse backs were obviously the seniors since they were dressed differently and a bit luxury from the about 7, and amongst those three the one who took over discussions and talking looked like the eldest amongst the three. He frowned upon No. 1’s words blushing red from anger.

No. 1 ignored his anger and went on to say "but the one following behind Yue is present now, Lin, master’s second disciple."

The people hearing that sneered. "You mean to say a woman is Jun Yanzhi’s first disciple before a man? I knew he was no master and was just fraud!" the leader of the people answered. By then the villagers who followed them unexpectedly and coincidentally got to hear all this. Hearing that the people brought to their village were disciples of Zhang’s martial arts school there were shocked thinking how did Yanzhi get to know martial artists. But what shocked them the most leaving them flabbergasted was their discussions.

"What are they saying? Yanzhi is a martial arts master? ...that can’t be true .. right?" a young villager asked in whisper completely stunned.

"Watch your words i will not allow you to tarnish the name of my master any further!" an angry voice broke out from behind the door, bloodlust filled the air making all martial arts presented broke into cold sweat and were suffocating. The normal villagers could only feel cold eerie aura but didn’t know what it was so they all shivered. The door was opened from the inside as Baihu stepped out with cold terrifying air around him.

"I have seen master’s sixth disciple." No. 1 saluted respectfully. "I didn’t know you were home." he added.

"We were all here, we had Baihu to help us with something so he stayed to train at home rather instead of going up the mountain." Uncle Feng’s voice sounded as he walked out with aunty Feng. Baihu just stayed quiet ignoring their talks. The numbers of the villagers increased as more people came to hear what was going on. Even Father Jun, grandma, Du Shi, Jun Xangren and his wife came running.

"If you came here to cause troubles I’d advise you to leave, but if you’re here on an important matter for master then leave it with me when master returns I’ll report to him." Baihu who was quiet suddenly spoke after taking a deep breath.

The people who were affected by his bloodlust felt the air normal after Baihu retracted his murderous aura, they quickly gained back their arrogance. "We came here to exchange techniques with master Jun’s disciples. Brother Cheng gloats about the martial arts technique given to him by your master and our master is also full of praise, so we came here to compare who’s martial arts techniques are better." another young man from their group voiced out.

"There was something like that? But master never mentioned anything about it." Baihu’s expression relaxed only a bit after hearing that, but he was getting more pissed by their audacity in wanting to compare with Yanzhi’s techniques. In his mind these mortals were only blowing their horses and nothing of interest at all!

"It’s because we haven’t introduced ourselves yet so that’s why you do not know, our school is very well known in the county. I’m Yu from Zhang Martial Arts school and master Zhang is our master. Jun YanZhi should have informed you of us right, you should feel ho...." he stopped talking and looked up at the face of Baihu who looked at him as if looking at a spec of dust and can easily erase him from existence, fear was all he could feel looking at Baihu who was trying hard to close up his leaking murderous aura.

"Speak one more word against my master or disrespect my master any further and I’ll pull your tongue out! Follow me, eldest brother should know best what to do in this situation." Baihu warned and said. Everyone gulped even no. 1 and the Feng couple, Baihu started to walk expecting the arrogant insects to follow and they did including their spectators.

"I have seen eldest brother Lin." Baihu saluted respectfully to Lin upon getting to the construction site. He then narrated everything that happened to Lin word to word without leaving out a thing. Lin’s expression distorted several times from anger to other emotions before turning into amusement, he had an amused smiling face after Baihu finished talking but underneath that smiling face was boiling anger which he was containing beneath.

"No. 1 go and call brother Feng and youngest sister Mei Lin" he instructed No.1, no. 1 cupped and left. Lin turned to the arrogant looking and overconfident disciples of Zhang’s martial arts school. "So you’re the disciples from that Zhang’s martial arts school. Eldest sister Yue informed me of how disrespectful you all are and how she sent you over there flying with just a kick, i heard you even had some ribs broken. How pathetic!" Lin taunted with a harmless smile, he looked more handsome with that playful grin. Yu blushed with embarrassment hearing Lin speak. Laughter erupted from all sides, there were already many villagers working at the construction site and along with the villagers who also followed to see the fun there were also all the villagers of big stone village presented.

At Zhang Martial Arts school

"Master! Master! Master! Big brother Yu and the others went to find trouble from master Jun!" Cheng ran anxiously looking like a mess to master Zhang’s pavilion, he reported. Master Zhang who was enjoying his tea in peace place the tea cup down with and bang as he got up abruptly.

"Wh.....what?!!!!"
