For my grandmaster [Mdzs FF] {Y/N&Xichen} Eng. Version

Chapter 3

 The next morning has already arrived and the sun rises from behind the clan's hills.
DIRECTLY BLINDING ME!
The rays of sunshine were able to enter undisturbed by the window reaching every corner in the room.
I roll over to the other side hoping that the light won't bother me as much and going back to sleep but I'm already awake and thinking about the few things I know about GusuLan, I pull myself up.
One of the few thinks everybody knows is that they are morning-birds, so, if I want a roof over my head, I'll need to sacrifice sleeping-in.
Even though the intention, I can't do other than sitting still on the bed with heavy eyelids contemplating the surroundings.

I never had a room this big on my own.

Even if I still half numb, I get up with a big smile on my lips.
A peaceful place, from people that know what they're doing to a beautiful sight, what can I desire more?
Finally a place where to be myself won't be a problem, more over, no one will talk down on me!
What can I hope more for?
Ah yeah...the job I'll need to do.

Not even the time to think about it and slide my foot into a boot that a Lan disciple knocks on the door so he can bring me to his clan leader.
Some how he seems surprised to see me already ready to go.
He's a young lad with dark long hair... just like every disciple.
They look all alike and their uniform's color doesn't help make them look less like drops out of the same river.
If it wasn't for his silver tongue.
Without hesitation he introduces himself as Jingyi while checking me from head to toe noticing how I instead am dressed, he does this even while we walk.
I try to ignore the obvious question he quivers to ask by just looking forward and replaying only with one or two 'I understand' or 'I won't' while he lists all the most important clan rules.
Even to a person that doesn't know all four-thousand GusuLan rules, it's obvious that doesn't know them either.
But the good peerson I am I won't tell him and try to hold back every compromising expression. 

My heard loses a bit and every thought vanishes when without notice one of the room's door  opens.
The young disciple Lan also stops with chills down his spine when he notices that that was the clan leader's room and we were to ignore him in person.
Both we put our hands in front in a quick bow.

"Greetings, Zewu-Jun." Jingyi says with cold sweat.

"Good morning, I see you are quiet cheerfulthis morning, enough to forget the order of the room's." greets Lan Xichen , smiling like every one knows him.
"Do not worry, it happens on a frenetic day like this one but I would like you to remember young master Wei not to bring the children on the shooting range, if he wants he can teach them but without arrows."

"He started again? That..! I'll be on my way immediately." this said Jingyi disappears in an instant.

"He's one full of energy. Do not worry, he's not some troublemaker." Xichen says.
He noticed how I followed their interaction not understanding much as of why that guy was in such hurry.
It's almost comical.
He was here a second ago and now you can't see him. 

"I'm certainly not worried." I answer shacking my head trying not to look at him as to not getting affected by his good mood.
"Zewu-Jun... today is a demanding day?" I continue not having ever seen a such calm atmosfere when a event of any sice occured.
Lan Xichen seems to think of how to answer while he keeps up his wide smile on the lips.
Deciding there wasn't an answer that makes more sence than 'Being part of a clan is always demanding' he chooses to stay silent.
With a slight movement of his hand he invites me inside.
In short, it's the same as my room besides it being rich in personal belongings, documents, cultivation and other themed books, a much larger table and some screens decorated with beautiful landscape paintings to split the room in different parts.
If I stay long enough, mine will look like that and honestly I'd like that, much better than to hear echo of my footsteps.

More I look the more the bookshelfs seem overloaded, so much that some manuscripts and bamboo scrolls dangle from them meanwhile some things that seem untouched are covered by a thick layer of dust.
For some it might be normal but for a man radiating an image of pure perfection, no one would expect this.
Looks like he came out of reclutione just the day prior, but... it doesn't look like he ever cut himself out from the outside world.

The impulse to ask him whatever question is stronf, even just to ask how he feels right now, I really would like to know.
All this years must have been hard on him. According to the stories told around here it doesn't seem to be something the clan leader Lan would do nevertheless he disappeared from sight of the cultivation world for something like three years.
That someone tried to help him outo of reclusion is highly improbable but he doesn't seem the same as before.
Sure, I never happen to know him on a personal level, I never got into a respected position so I could meet other scool's seniors but during visits the was a lot of turmoil, everyone wanted to meet todays guest and I wasn't an exception.
Probably all four bigest clan's desciples have seen at least once the four great grandmasters with their own eyes.
Everyone would treasure a memory like that precious.
