It was almost the dawn the rain has finally stopped.The gentle sun light came through the window touching his robe slowly which caught his face. His eyes were too heavy for him to open. He opened his eyes while covering the sun light from his hand. The morning was fresh. But his face was dull. Because of the heavy rain he had caught a fever. So he was so weak. He sat on his bed and touched his forehead. He realized that he have a fever but he didn’t care because cultivators are always so strong.

As he was starving he came to the downstairs to get his breakfast. The old man had prepared a beautiful small table with various dishes for him. The small wooden table and two small chairs in both sides were so clean and polished which can clearly tell the hard work of the cleaners. There were few costumers.

“Young master, you look so pale, are you sick?’’

As the old man was asking it, a guy entered to the shop and seated on the chair which was in front of bei ying’s table. He looked young and handsome. Wore a black ribbon to tie hishair and there was some hair strands on a side of his forehead which had made him look so cool. He was wearing a black and crimson mixed robe which looked so perfect on him.

Bei ying realized his attention was somewhere else and quickly coughed and looked at the old shopkeeper.

"ah yeah, kind of"

The old man sighed and said “It must be, because the rain last night, I’ll make you some hot chicken soup, it will make you feel a bit better”

“Thank you so much, but I don’t eat meat, I’m vegetarian”

Suddenly the young man who was in front of him started to laugh, with coughing while laughing like a mad man. It looked like he was drinking something and because of laugh he started to choke on it.

“Vegetarian?’’ the young man hardly stopped laughing for a while and
asked with a questioning face.

“why, what’s so funny?”

He laughed again and said “then you can’t eat these all dishes including the one in your hand, I mean the one you are eating right now. Was made using pork’’

Bei ying looked at the small cup of dish which was on his hand. It was so delicious to him.

He was embarrassed that he felt heat rushing to his face. “b-but I didn’t mean all types of meat, ok? By the way why did you sit here, did I ask you to sit here?” bei ying was so annoyed at the young man’s arrogant attitude.

“Huh? Why would I take your permission? Are you the owner of here? Sorry, I didn’t know there are two owners for this place’ ’the young man said with a teasing tone.

“y-you’’ bei ying was quite angry he wanted to punch him so hard but he couldn’t. so he left the inn quietly after frowning at the young man.

He walked faster as he felt the man was also following him.

“Ok, ok let’s just forget about the meat and the owner problems but-

The young man started to talk while trying to catch up to him but before he could finish his line bei ying pointed the sword at him. It was an instant. Bei ying actually was so fast, but the young man bent backwards to prevent the sword move.

Bei ying was acting like a mad man. He was kept on moving. The young man moved side to side and dodge all moves as a skilled cultivator.

After a long fight Bei ying finally was able to point the sword at young man's neck. But he didn’t want to attack him. Bei Ying just kept on frowning at him. The young man smiled finally and said “alright, alright, I lost. Your skills are perfect. By the way, I’m jiang xi ling, nice to meet you’’. He extended his hand with a smiley face. That smile looked so fake to Bei Ying. So ignored the man and put the sword back onto sheath. He wordlessly turned and started to walk along the line of shops.
