5 A Big Family (1/2)
Baili Chao led his new disciple toward the area of the admission test. The other Elders, as well as the Sect Master, would probably all be there already so he should hurry over, too. He had to show his cute disciple around, after all.
Yun Bei Fen curiously looked around all the time. The beautiful houses with the curved roofs and the many decorations were nothing like the simple houses from his village. They rather looked like palaces to him. This was probably what his father had tried to describe when he talked about the capital! So his new home was just like that.
Finally, the two of them arrived at the test site for the sect's admission. Some of the tests had already started but quite a few recruits were still standing around. They curiously looked at the newcomer that was led by an old man and couldn't help but discuss among themselves who this might be and why he might be brought here like this.
The Sect Master and the Elders weren't any less curious, though they managed to mask it a little better. Baili Chao hurried over and nodded.
”Sect Master Zhang, this one has returned from his journey and brought his new disciple along.” He pulled Yun Bei Fen in front of him who was still looking everywhere else as if the few old men in front of them really weren't that interesting. Well, they probably weren't to him.
Zhang Guan Yu, the current sect master of the Teng Yong Sect, examined the cute little child in front of him and couldn't help but smile. ”Oh? Then who might this be? Little one, tell uncle Zhang your name.”
Unfortunately, 'Uncle Zhang' was completely ignored for Yun Bei Fen had found something much more interesting to watch: In the middle of the testing grounds was a wooden ring that was elevated about half a meter. Three people stood inside, facing each other.
Two of them were boys that were maybe a year or two older than him. They wore gray robes that were tied with an even darker belt. Both of them held a sword in their hand and their expressions were grim as if they were about to be dispatched to war the very next moment.
Opposite them stood a youth that was about double their age. He also carried a sword but he still hadn't drawn it yet. Instead, he was all smiles while looking at the two boys. Coupled with the white robe with the black belt that he wore he gave Yun Bei Fen the feeling of a gentle and friendly person. He instantly liked him.
The two boys raised their swords higher and threw themselves at him with a cry. The youth evaded their attack with just a step. He looked completely at ease even when the two of them charged at him again and even came from two different directions. Yun Bei Fen watched how the youth weaved between their attacks in an elegant manner and his face lit up.
”Eh, Elder Feng, look at this! The boy seems to really like your disciple.” Sect Master Zhang couldn't help but point out, chuckling quietly.
The child in question continued to ignore him and instead watched the white-clothed youth with rapt attention. Just now the fight ended with the youth hitting each of them once with his hand. They boys opposite him both fell to the ground and had trouble getting up again.
