Hunting the Creator

Chapter 29 Helper

Daybreak came and the two disciples came out of their respected rooms, one left to do chores while the other went to cultivate.

They were both outside, Wen Wuhan sat crossed legged with his eyes closed, circulating his Qi as his master had taught him when he had first found Wen Wuhan. His first duty is waking up super early and doing his physical training and soon after his Qi training. Rén Ru had always stressed the importance of having a strong body and not just Qi. And because he had nothing else to do Wen Wuhan has followed everything his master has ever ordered him to do to a T. On the other hand, Pan Yan was currently filling a bucket at the well next to the cabin. She also held duties around her own training, but for now since she didn't like dirty things, after her Qi training, she would clean around the camp and make sure everything was cleaned and in tip top shape. For her own training since she held a lot of physical strength, she need not worry about it like Wen Wuhan did. So, Rén Ru had instructed her to mimic the same length of training as Wen Wuhan does, except simply doing Qi exercises. This way she could have a balance of her physical body and her Qi.

As both were doing their diligent duties they heard a sound, the sound of a door opening. They knew exactly what door that was, and both snapped their heads towards the direction of the testing room. Their eyes were in anticipation, but what came out was a raggedly dressed young boy.

"Didn't I tell you to take a bath?" A soft-spoken voice sounded from the cabin entrance; the two disciples turned to see a softly woken up master.

Rén Ru dressed in soft lime green robes; it complimented his silver-like hair. His dark eyes gazed upon the ragged dressed boy with a frown on his pink lips.

"Come along." Rén Ru sighed as he pushed the boy back inside the testing room and closed the door behind him.

Both disciples looked at each other with wide eyes. "Who the hell was that?" They spoke in unison.

"How should I know?!" Wen Wuhan shrugged in shock. "You?"

"I wouldn't know even less than you, I just got here!" She hissed in annoyance, not caring anymore about their senior junior status, since they have been spending so much time together their relationship obviously upgraded for strangers to acquaintances, to friend, and finally siblings.

"What to do?" Wen Wuhan sighed, looking at the door nervously.

"You still thinking that master is a crazy killer?" Pan Yan sighed right back at him with a look that read 'You serious bro?'

"As you said earlier, I've been with him longer, so I've witnessed things that you haven't." Wen Wuhan defended himself.

Rolling her eyes Pan Yan went back to work. "Yeah yeah, whatever you say, get back to training, I'm sure master will introduce him when he wants to."

"Aren't you curious?" Wen Wuhan rose an eyebrow in surprise, usually she was the first to ask so many questions.

"Of course I am?!" She dropped her broom to the floor and ran straight up to the locked door, ear to the floor.

"There she is." Wen Wuhan scoffed and followed her, but not before the door opened once more and in a blink of an eye, she looked like she was simply sweeping casually. "Good morning master." She greeted me.

With a clean little boy, Rén Ru gave a satisfied nod as he looked at the white clothed little boy. His hair was pitch black, long and braided to the side of his head. He was beyond skinny, well off that Rén Ru was surprised that he was still alive.

It didn't take long to wash the boy; he was small and feeble looking. But as he stood up and opened the door he heard a bit of snuffling, of course he knew who that was but decided to amuse his little disciples. As he walked, he saw an 'uninterested' Pan Yan walk towards them with a broom at hand.
