"How may I address this senior_?" she ended up with this question."Mentor Shao_!! Is there anything else troubling you? he started walking toward the exit.
The thin bright line was vanishing gradually, which was the exit point also.
They stepped out and the last thin streaks of Spring Void collapsed.
"May I ask mentor Shao_what was the reason for your decision to teach a random girl_!!" she asked what was bothering her.
"I know_you wanted to ask this question_I wanted to wash my guilt for not teaching Yenay_how to survive_and for her sake_since you were the last person with her before her death_since you wished to save her despite your weaker contemplation study_that means you would save any innocent_promise me you will become stronger and if you happened to meet another Yenay in a dire situation_you will save her_no matter what_!!" he was feeling difficulty to express his grief in the form of words.
He stopped talking.
When he first saw her during contemplation study, he was sure, she was not a simple girl, or her aims must not be simple, he could tell just to look at her att.i.tude.
Jen considered to learn from him because she was really feeling self ashamed to be weaker in strength, what if her dear one fell in danger what would she do, except than to feeling helpless.
If he great grandfather was in need of help, what would she do, and also the people from his hometown?
Though it was ridiculous to think that her great grandfather would need her help she wanted to be prepared for anything.
She was, after all, going to partic.i.p.ate in the Intermediate Contemplation Battles, which would make enemies too.
They walked silently.
"How much time I needed to step into the Realm of Legend_!" Jen asked hesitating.
"It depends on your will_It can be shortest time_It can be longer time_I would not spare any means in your study as per my concern_but_!!" he stopped abruptly.
Jen was all ears.
"The place where we are going_is the abode of my senior_and also mentor so you should be careful_!" he was clearly concerned.
"Is there anything to be concerned about_?" she could see that Mentor Shao was reluctant to tell.
"Nothing serious_just a bunch of his veteran disciples_!" he heaved a sigh.

"You were told to report at the cla.s.s and what are you doing here_?" cla.s.s proctor asked the messy girl.
"Old Fu punished me to change the pots of plants and then bring potion for his Escort Sentient_!!" the young girl told in a manner that she was wronged by this punishment.
"You deserve punishment_dodon"t pretend that you are innocent_who asked you to push the other girl in a pool especially when she did not know how to swim_now she is seriously ill because of you_!!" the protector crossed his arms.
"Don"t take sides_she was the one who angered me.
"And I dare to ask_what angered you_?" he was bent to ask now.
"She said that she looked better than me_so I pushed her in the pool whether her looks could save her_!!" she said with a mischievous smile.
"What_this small matter_?" the proctor was astounded to hear the reason.
"You look messy_is there anything to be angered_?" he was determined to stay on his grounds.
"Do you dare_to say that again_?" she was truly angered again.
She was ready to make ruckus again.
She brought out her higgledy-piggledy weapon just like her looks, rustic iron chains.
The proctor saw this and his eyes popped out after looking at her weapon, it looked higgledy-piggledy but it was powerful too.
He feared and ran like feared chicken, messily all around, he was running for his life.
He ran left and then right like a blind bull.
She was cursing him non-stop while running behind him.
He was asking for his remission of the sentence because he was guilty, he would not do this crime again but she was reluctant to hear his pleading.
She swept her rustic chains and he barely avoids it using his maximum strength in running.
He cursed in his heart the time when he spoke her, "messy."
He swears on his life that he would not say that again.
Soon, it was like chaos on this small mountain.
He was running here and there.
Mountain was currently empty because old mentor was in his small abode in the cave.
There were less than ten students in front of him, listening to him obediently, they all could hear the helpless shouting coming from outside, but they did not move for the fear of displeasure of old mentor.
Old mentor was retired and respected mentor, he was living peacefully on this mountain when first veteran disciple begged him to teach the contemplation study, slowly few more veteran disciples came to study under his guidance.
Veteran disciples could not afford expensive Schools of Contemplation learning, so they seek guidance from some old mentors.
It was truly based on luck to find and accepted by such senior mentors.
The old mentor also heard the shouting and cursing, he furrowed his left brow up and then relaxed again.
"Poor He Bao is unlucky this time_!!" the old man shook his head nonchalantly, his disciples also followed him and shook their heads.
The time was ended, all the disciples stood up and bowed to the old mentor and took their leave.
After respectfully exiting the abode of an old mentor, they ran to see the plight of He Bao, less worried, cheering.
"Are not you afraid about He Bao_I have heard you both are good friends_!!" a veteran disciple poked his elbow to the other disciple concerning little.
"Are you done_I don"t want to be chopped off by that loosen beast_do you dare_!!" he just wanted to see what was happening outside, did not wish to interfere the matter.
Though messy girl came just a weak ago, she was called secretly, "Loosen Beast," by others.
Few oldies who were here also looked at the running young lad and furious young la.s.s.
They were looking forward to the end of this show.
"He Bao_show us your courage today_!!" a spectator shouted encouraging He Bao.
His sister looked at him with annoyance, "What courage_cadon"t you see his plight_!!" she did not defend messy girl this time.
"Oh_I thought_you used to side with messy girl_!!" her brother pretended that he was in deep thought.
"I used to_ but when she pushed my friend in the pool_ I no longer had such intentions_ she got sick because of this loosen beast_!!" she gritted her teeth.
"I see_ should we help He Bao then_?" her brother could see that He Bao was in grave danger.
"How we are supposed to be of help for him in this situation_?" she asked earnestly.
"Mm_ let"s shift her attention_!!" he snapped his finger after coming up with the idea.
"Her attention is fixed on He Bao_ she would not let until done_!!" she shook her head disapproving the idea.
"We can do this_see_!!" he whispered something in her ear and then brought out two masks.
"This is dangerous_ truly dangerous_!!" she shuddered to hear the plan, "She will become our lifetime enemy if she found out_ and it might hurt her morally_!!" she expressed her concerns.
"Look at her_ did she bear any morals_ and if we delayed_ He Bao would be doomed by then_!!" he pointed toward the present situation.
Both brother and sister pair signaled and ran in the direction separately, where He Bao and the messy girl were running wildly, in pursuit, one for to take the life of other and one to run for his life.
Messy girl wielded her rustic chain to strangle the neck of He Bao in her attempt, her attention was pic by the loud shouting of two figures running around.
"Loosen beast_ messy girl! Loosen beast_ messy girl_ !!" both brother and sister pair took this way to pick her attention.
They ran around and shouted, "Loosen beast_ messy girl_!"
She tried to recognize them, brother volunteer signaled He Bao to disappear from the scene while sister volunteer was shouting now.
The messy girl was tired after so much running and now shouting.
Her head got spinning and she fell.
This was a great chance for brother and sister pair to disappear before they were the next target of her wrath.
It was falling evening soon, so everyone went to their sleeping abodes.
Mountain was empty except the fallen figure of a messy girl.
Just before the last streak of light vanish, someone came and lifted her in the arms and walked with light steps toward her abode.
Her abode was as messy as her appearance, he bent and placed her on the rug.
He turned but did not leave.
He looked at her messy hair and brought out his combing brush and started combing her hair.
The light was spa.r.s.e now so he flicked a bright stone high on the ceiling.
After carefully combing, he left the combing brush for her use with a hairpin.
