The Captain guard immediately formed his team and went to check out the White Jinn"s old house. They were surprised that when they arrived, the house that has been neglected for so many years seems intact and clean."Did someone maintained the cleanliness of this house? This is spotless and it is well-kept. It"s been years since I"ve been here. No one entered this area ever since the White Jinn ma.s.sacre." The Captain guard stood in front of the White lodge shocked as he continues to recollect the original state of it, realizing it hasn"t changed at all.
"No one has entered these areas ever since Captain."
"Then was someone a.s.signed to maintain and keep this house?" The Captain guard turned back a stern look to his men and raised his brow.
"No one sir!"
"No one, Captain!"
"See? Then there"s someone maintaining it, keeping it secured. And it is not from inside the Luban sect fortress. Because if it is, then I would have already known by now as I"m the Captain of the Luban Sect guards. You get it?" The Captain guard stroked his thumb feeling the door of the white old house.
"Yes sir, we understand. It is mysterious indeed."
"It is weird rather, Captain. Someone living in this kind of place.."
"I can feel faint energy... Someone seems to live here now. Check it out for me here who is currently living in this house. Stay in the area, I"m sure that person... or woman shall we say, will arrive anytime by now. I"m a.s.signed for the preparations for tomorrow"s exams so for now, I"ll leave this to you." The Captain guard goes to the temple for further preparations for the exams at the Luban grand dojo starting the long-awaited next day.
"Sir! But.. Uhm... Are we really gonna stay here until we see someone walks here? Only th-the two of us here?" The guard asking the Captain was getting anxious staying at the area of the White Jinn"s old house.
"Two? No, the two of you will lead the ten men I will a.s.sign to you, so overall you will be patrolling and looking around these areas for a suspicious person with twenty men. We must know the truth behind these actions." The Captain guard walks down the wide stairs and left going to the temple. While the guards were sweating cold cautiously watching the plain area surrounded by trees and is in a shaky fighting stance.
"This is so intense, right? Ha ha"
All of the twenty guards at the area had anxiety as they faced the peril of slashing swords towards their necks by the White Jinn"s b.l.o.o.d.y saber. They knew that they can"t do anything about it if the White Jinn was real and will decide to just kill them all, as they realized that what they"re doing will most likely cause disturbance to the White Jinn.
"The Captain is funny sometimes, huh?"
"Why do you say so? He"s a bland boring person for me."
"Well, he"s funny today. Look at how many of us are here, did he really think twenty people can stop or can just flee easily if the White Jinn being alive is real and will just go on a rampage to us. Ha ha, crazy-"
A fruit from the tree falls to the ground brought a thud.
"The White Jinn! The White Jinn! We"re dead! We are-"
"Hey! Hey hey hey! It"s just a fruit, you idiot! You are getting too nervous, are you even a soldier--"
A plastic ball slightly touched the calf of the acting brave guard.
"A bomb! A booomb! A booomb-"
"You idiot! You dumb funny ironic guy! Don"t act so tough when you"re so nervous yourself too! What are you saying about bomb? That"s a plastic ball." The guard that was afraid hearing the thud from the falling fruit cleared out that getting too nervous was just normal when being around the area of the Legendary White Jinn.
"Well... I guess so..."
The twenty guards around the area had typical solemn faces looking at each other but they burst laughing forgetting the tension from the atmosphere.
Afternoon at the dojo.
There were a lot of apprentices and Martial artists practicing in the dojo and keeping their cultivation growth to a higher new level.
"Sister Ling Ai, how are you? You"ve been sleeping all the time so I waited for you to wake up to ask you what you are doing. You"re not training at all, why?" The sweating plump Li Bei approached Ling Ai sitting in a cushion at the corner of the dojo.
"Don"t worry, Brother Li Bei. The best way in growing, I believe is by relaxing your chi before starting a rigid training for the exams." Ling Ai lightly smiled to the concerned Li Bei.
"Oh, that"s a good Martial arts perspective. If that"s what you believe, then I"ll support you on that Sister Ling Ai." Li Bei took a rest from training and sat beside Ling Ai. "Hmm, do I smell Sister Ling Ai? If I am then I won"t mind sitting away from you so that I won"t cause you to be uneasy." Li Bei was worried that he might be reeking.
"No, it"s okay Brother Li Bei. Just sit there, I enjoy talking with you and just watching them here together." Ling Ai was sitting finely while watching her friends training hard enhancing their skills and basic foundation.
"Thanks for being so thoughtful, Sister Ling Ai. Uhmm, may I ask what"s your current rank is? I see that you are always so calm, I didn"t see you flutter even once yet." Li Bei was expectantly paying attention to Ling Ai"s answer.
"Ah, me? Ha ha, I"m just a semi-elite apprentice." Ling Ai tentatively answered as she was not sure what"s the perfect answer for that question. She doesn"t want to raise suspicions or sudden praises from people.
"You are a Semi-elite apprentice?!" Li Bei shouted back at Ling Ai and it echoed inside the entire dojo that it caught everyone"s attention.
"A semi-elite apprentice? Who is it?"
"I think that fat guy is talking about that little girl beside him."
"Eh? What a bluff! No one would get that rank with that frail body of hers." A certain group of men guffawed and made fun of Ling Ai when they heard what Li Bei shouted.
"Hey, fat guy! How about you go home and eat some of the dumplings your dirty house prepared huh? You are reeking and I can smell it from here already! Look at you sweating like a wet pig and beside you is a weak tiny rabbit. Hahaha, your grandfather or something might be worried about you getting thin." The certain youths from the other side of the dojo guffawed.
Liu Qiang, Wong Yong, and Wong Wei were so angry that the other apprentices made fun of their friendly Li Bei. But when they"re about to confront the other group, they heard Ling Ai"s gentle voice.
"Boys..."
Liu Qiang, Wong Yong, Wong Wei, and Li Bei looked at Ling Ai and understand what she meant as she shook her head looking at them.
"I"m sorry Sister Ling Ai, it"s because of me that I brought you another trouble. I apologize. I"m really sorry." Li Bei was feeling guilty as he looked up to Ling Ai standing up.
"It"s okay Brother Li Bei." Ling Ai hugged Li Bei to a.s.sure him that he doesn"t reek at all.
Li Bei had teary eyes when he was embraced by Ling Ai"s angelic comfort.
The youths at the dojo and the friends made a way as Ling Ai walks towards the group that insulted Li Bei.
"Let"s see what you"ve got boys." Ling Ai snickered that it quickly delivered the shivers to the youths around the dojo.
"Eh? Tough little lady. Let"s go men." Six apprentices draw closer to Ling Ai together looking down at her. "She"s smaller up close." The tall fine-built men guffawed at the front of Ling Ai.
"Are you sure about this? I can see that none of you are at the level of Semi-elite apprentice. So no one I think will be on par with me?" Ling Ai stared them each in the eyes and didn"t find anyone that strong comparable to her.

"Let"s start then! Lucky the instructor is not here. We can break one or two of your bones to teach you a lesson, little girl! Do you think we believe your cultivation rank is a semi-elite apprentice? Ha! Funny. I can do this alone, boys, just watch." The youth wearing a blue tunic approach Ling Ai first.
"Start? Release your max cultivation then." The crowd was surprised hearing what Ling Ai said but they were more surprised how calm her face is in an intense situation with six prime men ganging up on her.
"Eh? Such annoying c.o.c.ky pest! Martial arts Peak apprentice skill! Full-joint impact!" The young man jumps towards Ling Ai to initiate a smashing attack to her thinking that even if Ling Ai tries to defend it, it will hurt her badly. And it would be a good start to have that advantage.
"Ha! You"re mine!"
"A skill? That"s just a normal punch, you weakling." Ling Ai raised her brow and had fierce eyes that can devour one"s soul being stared by it. While in the young man"s world, everything seemed to slow down at the presence of the young lady in front of her.
"Wh-what is happening?!"
