Sect Clan Chronicles

09

At the Mount Hua Sect's boat everyone was having fun and making noises, it amuses Sizhui as it reminds him of the joyous people around Yunmeng when he visited his Baba's home from when he grew up.

"Senior Lan!" Jo Gul called out to Sizhui making him turn towards the young man. "Yes? Anything wrong?" Jo Gul shook his head no. "No, not really. As you said before it's a Inter-Sect Clan Learnings so basically where gonna study things like rules, etiques, technique, and style right?" Jo Gul asked. Sizhui thought for a bit and nodded. "Well, most of the part yes. But right now we're still unsure as some of the details aren't really said to us prior to our educator." Sizhui explained.

"But, do you ever know the possible schedule or events that may happen?" Cheong Myeong asked this time. "Hmm....if I'm sure...well not really. I'd say that it'll be like a fielding type of Inter-Sect Clan Learnings. We'll be studying first in a certain clan and after 2-3 months we'll change to a different sect to learn every single sect each 2-3 months." Sizhui tried to explain well gladly Jong Yoon was there to explain the others about the situation, everyone nodded in unison.

"Anymore questions?"

Cheong Myeong decided to speak again, "Where are we possibly heading first?"

"We'll be staying in a place called Caiyi Town in Gusu and when morning comes we'll head to Cloud Recesses where all of us are going to study for a while." Sizhui said clasping his hand together praying that his grandfather Lan Qiren wouldn't have too much of a headache.

"Us? So that means you'll be studying with us? But aren't you guys 1st grade disciples?" Yoo Iseol asked. Sizhui nodded as he looked at her. "Yes, us 1st grade disciples aren't much different from you guys. Although we'll be excused if we're being called somewhere as we're....usually all around the place."

//Meanwhile with Zhongnan Sect//

Everyone was silent.....too silent, why? Who knows, no one from the Zhongnan Sect tries to communicate. Are they introverts? Who knows. Luckily enough Lee Songbaek spoke first, why? Cause why not?

"Uhh...Seniors?" Lee Songbaek called out making Jin Ling and Lan Jingyi with sour expressions on, looked back at him. "Yes? What is it Junior? What's your name?" Jin Ling asked looking down at Lee Songbaek who seemed unsure whether to even try and answer.

"I-I'm Lee Songbaek a 2nd grade disciple.....I just want to ask what are the possible things we will do once we arrive at the destination." He replied with sincerity.

Jin Ling and Lan Jingyi looked at each other and then at Ouyang Zizhen who was cleaning Bixue (his sword's name). Zizhen sighed as he stood up and smiled at the curious Zhongnan disciples and sat down in front of them while signaling Jin Ling and Lan Jingyi to watch over at the front of the boat.

"Since all of you aren't given a heads up, I'll gladly explain. We'll be arriving at a place called Caiyi Town. It's a bustling market town where you can buy anything that captures your eyes, there are shops for foods and liquor as well. We'll be staying in an inn for the night and in the morning we'll head to Cloud Recesses. Cloud Recesses is the place which our classes for the 1-3 month classes will be held." Zizhen explained thoroughly making the Southern Edge disciples nod.

".....may I ask....why your Sects sent their 1st grade disciples instead of their 2nd grade disciples?" Jin Geumryeong asked with a furrowed brow, this guy's temper reminded Zizhen of Sect Leader Jiang Cheng.

"Ahhh....to be fair---" Zizhen was about to explain when everyone heard Jin Ling and Lan Jingyi arguing outside of the boat irking Zizhen as he sighed and excused himself and went towards the two. Some of the Southern Edge disciples peaked over the blinds to see what will happen.

"

WELL PISSY PRINCESS YOU COULD'VE BEEN CAREFUL TO NOT DROP OUR FREAKING SNACKS!"

"WELL WHO'S THE DUMB IDIOT THAT DECIDED TO FUCKING THROW THE SNACKS AT ME WHILE WE'RE ON A BOAT!? MOVING BOAT AT THAT YOU PRICK!? YOU FUCKING SHIT I'LL BREAK YOUR KNEECAP!"

Jin Ling and Lan Jingyi yelled back and forth. Zizhen stood between them and grabbed their ears.

"Ah! Zizhen that hurts!"

"We're sorry! Ouch!"

Zizhen eventually let go of their ears as they both caressed their throbbing ears while looking at Zizhen with hurtful gazes.

"One more time. If I hear you both fighting one more time I'll throw you both off the boat which would make you two resort in flying with your swords on the way home." Zizhen warned them with a sneer before going back inside with the Junior disciples.

Entering back inside Zizhen smiled and sat in front of the juniors. "As I was saying. We chose to come here instead cause we were also after the plum blossoms. Lan Sizhui, paints amazingly and we just had to have a portrait of us with many plum blossom petals surrounding us, makes one masterpiece to the fullest. Zizhen nodded looking very proud about his friend's hobby.

-time skip-

Skipping time cause the author can't think of any other filler, they're dumb. And so arriving at Caiyi Town many lanterns were lit up this fine evening and the moon was shining as well. The disciples of Mount Hua hua and Southern Edge got out of the boats as their eyes scanned their surroundings.

"Disciples, do follow me." Wen Ning said calling for everyone's attention. The Southern Edge disciples were still a bit wary of Wen Ning due to....his interesting looks. The elder guided them inside and where a lovely and warm woman by the counter smiled at them and bowed.

"Good evening Auntie Wu." Wen Ning bowed with his hands clasped.

"GOOD EVENING AUNTIE WU." The Junior Four greeted as well bowing with their hands clasped.

"Aiyo....it's lovely to see you calm here at the inn again. What may I help you with?" Auntie Wu asked staring at everyone. "Seems like you lots have brought companions as well.

"Yes, well. We'll need some rooms to provide the disciples. They're from another island, the Clans had a meeting of starting yet again the Inter-Sect Clan Learnings." Wen Ning said as he took out his red pouch with gold and silver taels paying Auntie Wu with 3 gold and 2 silvers.

"I see...alright Ghost General. I'll get everything set and done." Auntie Wu exclaimed as she and many other workers under the inn, fixed and added some blankets for comfort due to a tiresome travel.

"I hope you enjoy your stay." She said sincerely as everyone started to fill in the rooms.
