The Soul Cultivator

Tale 46

Lord Axcel's

"Ay wala na ho sila, kahapon pa sila umalis." ZenMe

"Saan daw sila papunta?" Wing

"Sa JinSan po, siguro ay naandun na sila kanina pang umaga." ZenMe

"JinSan?! Bakit naman sila pupunta duon, sira ulo naman pala yung tiyuhin ni Ro- Zero eh!" Claw

"Aba- sino po ba ang mga loko lokong ito Lord Axcel, mga aso mo ba? Ang sasama ng ugali eh-" ZenMe

"We're leaving, thank you!" I told him as I turn around to walk out.

"Maester, it seems like your disciple might be facing bigger threat... It is be best to take him back with us." Head 

"I already told you, he belonged here with his family. If that's what he wants, who am I to decide for him." I answered without looking at them.

We continued travelling on foot, summoning my Pet might cause a serious misunderstanding towards the local. Only a few Clans know our visit to this land, and we planned to keep it that way. 

"Maester, nag away po ba kayo ni Zenro?" Wing

"What makes you say that?" I looked at her as we proceed to lay down all of the corpses we found inside the main house of a Clan. 

"Kasi kapag sinusubukan naming tanungin ka kung bakit mo pinaubaya siya sa kanyang pamilya, lagi mong sinasagot ay 'he chose to be with his family, who am I to decide for him'... Eh alam naman nating kailangan mo parin siya pag balik natin sa Cullaisten- you're a Lord, and you need a successor and not to mention you two still have a connection dahil sa Binding Ritual- oh diba napapa english na rin ako." Wing

I just stared at her, who am I kidding?

I did not left him because I think it's best for him to be with his family, I left him because I am afraid of what he might think of me when he finds out-...

"Just mind the mission, I don't have time for this!" I firmly said.

"Y- yes po Maester!" Wing left in a rush, she might've got taken aback to my response.

"Maester?" Fang waved his hands on me.

"Tara na po." Wing pointed her hand towards the dock where a boatman is waiting for us.

"Sorry I spaced out." I excuse myself as I board the boat.

I caught Wing and Fang staring at each other as they display a hint of worry, I know they are aware...

Tsk! Why am I becoming like this, Rox, why am I at dismay whenever you're not around me?

Rox's

"Achoo!" 

"A god is thinking about you, bless you." Ngiti ng matanda habang hinahanda niya ang kaniyang mga kagamitan para sa pagtuturo.

"Creepy but thanks?" Sagot ko dahil weird naman kung totoong may God na iniisip ako, what a stalker!

Nginitian lang niya ako bago siya lumingon sa mga batang naka upo.

"First, let's give another round of applause for..." Lingon niya saakin.

"Zen Zero" Bulong ko sa kaniya.

"Zen Zero, for volunteering para maging katuwang ko para ipakita ang demonstration of cultivating!" Naka ngiti nitong saad pero parang may galit sa kaniyang mga mata kapag napapalingon siya saakin.
