Ye Bai Yi - the immortal [An immortal but actually a mortal]

Chapter 6

Many days passes.

Shiliu and Ye Bai Yi were like father and son now. Their bond was getting stronger and stronger day by day. They used to fetch woods from forest, cooking the meal, going to fishing and all the things together. Ye Bai Yi used to teach him some techniques too.

Flashback

"Shiliu! We need to find your family!" Ye Bai Yi seemed worried. When Shiliu heard this his joyful expressions were changed into sad one. He looked at him and replied, "No. They.. won't accept me!" "Why?" Shiliu looked sad now as if he experienced something very bad in the past. "My parents were war prisoners and were sent to another clan for serving. I was the only one by myself doing all the households. They won't even give me enough food. They would.. They would beat me sometime. I don't wanna go there back!" Shiliu's eyes were a bit teary. Ye Bai Yi could feel the sorrowness in his voice. "What about your brother?" he asked. "He was also going to be sent to another clan." After hearing this, Ye Bai Yi decided to let Shiliu live with him.

Flashback ended

"Shiliu! Today I'll teach you something new!" Ye Bai Yi said. Shiliu nodded. "I'm looking forward to it!" whenever it comes to learning something new, Shiliu was always serious. He always seemed interested about it. Ye Bai Yi was also happy to teach a kid like Shiliu who won't take the trainings as a joke.

"This is a very rare technique in martial arts world. My master taught me this when I was a child." Ye Bai Yi looked at Shiliu.

"Rare technique?" Shiliu looked surprised. "Yes." Ye Bai Yi replied. " Its rare because it was discovered by my master and only his two disciples know that technique."

"Who are the two disciples? Please tell me." Shiliu was curious. "Okay I'll tell you." Ye Bai Yi smiled. "One was me. And the other was Wen Ruyu. He was very good friend of mine."

"Where is he now?"

"Um... We've gone to our own paths long ago. I don't know where he is and what is he doing." Ye Bai Yi laughed.

"Do you kiss him?" Shiliu looked at Ye Bai Yi. "Well. Yes. Once you walk your own path, you'll miss all those you've left long ago." He replied and smiled. "Alright. I'll now teach you the technique come. But it will definitely take you years to be perfect at it." he sighed. "But surely it will help you in the difficult times when you are in danger." he added.
