Chapter 43
* Lan Sizhui's POV*
After talking with grand Uncle I began placing the talisman in every corner of Lotus Pier. I know we still have a long time before the Wens will come and attack the Jiang's but it's better to be safe than sorry.
After I placed the talisman, aunt Yanli called me for dinner and i went to the dinning hall with me.
" Oh Sizhui your here please sit." Grand Uncle said with a smile while Madam Yu is not looking at me.
*3rd person's POV*
As they were eating, Jiang Fengmian told everyone in the room, " So tomorrow, A-cheng you must help Sizhui in training the disciple tomorrow and on the following days. Take it as your practice as well since sooner or later you'll be the one leading Lotus Pier."
Hearing the 'leading the Lotus Pier sooner or later' spark something inside of Jiang Cheng. For the first time since he could remember, his father had acknowledge him as the heir of the Jiang Clan.
" I will father." Jiang Cheng said with a smile.
" I know you will." Fengmian said returning the smile.
The dinner was then continued with silence as they had a Lan in their table.
* Next day*
Sizhui woke up at five and began meditating as he knows that normally, Jiang Sect disciples woke up/are ready at 9 so he usually went to the training ground at that time.
So at 9 o'clock, Sizhui went to the training grounds only to find all the Jiang Sect disciple standing quietly in a line.
" Why are they so early Young Master Jiang?" Sizhui asked totally surprised.
" Well Father instructed them to be early so that they will be ready anytime you'll start to train them." Jiang Cheng explained.
" By the way this is Wei Yuan, courtesy named Sizhui. He is a rogue cultivator. He would be training you for this following days. Hope you'll listen and respect him as how you respect your seniors. Sizhui." Jiang Cheng told the other Jiang disciple and went to their front and now his head disciple mode is on.
( The following are just made up and I don't know anything about martial arts or how they practice so just bear with this guys.)
" So now let's start first with what you know. Figure 1." Sizhui shouted and everyone did the figure one in the Jiang Sect Sword style.
" When you start with figure one, your move must be fast, attentive, and snappy. Don't laze around." Sizhui told them with a poker and intimidating voice. The Jiang Disciples are now feeling that a Lan disciple is teaching them the Jiang Sect Sword style.
" For example..." After saying this Sizhui then demonstrate the flow of the Jiang Sect Sword style.
The disciples are now wondering why he knows their sword style. Since, as they know Sizhui is a Rogue Cultivator. How can a rogue cultivator know their sword style.
After showing them how to properly execute the Jiang Sect Sword style, he looked at them and told them to perform while he watched, observed, and correct them from any mistakes they took.
After their practice, they took lunch break where everyone sat at the table and eat their meals while talking happily.
" Young Master Wei, if it doesn't sound ride to you, may I ask something?" A Jiang Disciple sitting near Sizhui asked which made the environment quiet.
" What is it?" Sizhui asked back politely.
" Well as Young Master Jiang told us, you are a rogue cultivator, how did you know the Jiang Sect Sword Style? Did someone taught you?" The disciple asked slightly nervous.
" Well that would be a secret, but I can only say one thing both my parents were once trained in a sect. They had different sect yet they fall in love with each other at first sight. Unfortunately, they are both gone." Sizhui told them.
" Young Master Wei, how are you related to our Shixiong, Wei Wu Xian?" Another disciple asked.
" Actually, though I'm a Wei, I'm carrying my mother's family name and not my father." Sizhui answered vaguely.
" Why?" They asked very curious about the life of their misterious mentor.
" Well, actually, both my parents suffered an unfortunate death. My mother died while saving my father since my mother's brother wanted to kill them because of some misunderstood reasons, while my father committed suicide in front of his uncle due to rebellion two or three days after my mother died. I was just three years old that time and because of that my father's older brother is so mad on their uncle that's why when we finally escape their clutches we used our mother's last names so that we would be difficult to find." Sizhui explained.
" Why does your mother's brother and your father's uncle too cruel to let their family members suffer?" One of the Jiang Sect disciple said slightly angry to the said persons without knowing one of them is with them.
Once the 'mother's brother is mentioned, Sizhui looked at his Uncle who is looking down sadly. He is mad at his future self for killing his Shixiong. His brother, His first and only true friend.
" Well my Uncle is not that bad. He was just blinded by misery, jealousy and anger that time that he did that. Also, after my mother's fall, he was the one who directly came to the bottom of the cliff where my mother fall and saved my mother from being taken by other people who are angry at my mother. He did say sorry and all his life he repented what happened. Until the now, he is still not married and is taking care of me and my cousin, their sister's son." Sizhui said defending his Uncle Jiang.
" That's a sad story." Another Jiang Disciple commented.
" Well it is. Both my Uncle didn't marry after their precious brother died. Well for me, my mother's side uncle is more pitiful since she didn't only loose my mother but also their elder sister, and their whole clan. In short my uncle rebuilt the clan on his own alone longing for his sister, his brother, his father, and his mother's warmth which he could never feel again." Sizhui told them.
" Enough with the storytelling. We need to go back on the training grounds after an hour. So finish your meals quickly." Jiang Cheng said cutting the sad story of his nephew which was partially caused by him, by killing his brother.
Sizhui smiled knowing what's going on in his uncle's mind.
" Don't worry Uncle, we can change the future." Sizhui whispered to him uncle which Jiang Cheng responded with a soft smile.
After that story-full lunch, they went again training on the training hall.
