52 You Dare to Show up Here? (2/2)

Mei Chao Bing cleared his throat and cupped his fists, bowing again. ”Some things happened indeed. I'm very sorry for being late, Elder Baili.”

”Then what kind of spiritual beast was it? And what accident? Did you really need to take this long?” He asked exactly the questions Mei Chao Bing had feared but he didn't really expect an answer. Instead, he turned to his disciple and looked him over, patting his shoulders and arms to make sure that nothing was missing. ”Well, you don't seem to be injured. That's something at least.”

Yun Bei Fen looked from his Master to Mei Chao Bing and back again. Finally, he grabbed Baili Chao's hand. ”Master! You wouldn't be angry at senior martial brother Mei, would you? He really did all of that just for me. You know, he actually taught me how to sense spiritual energy so that I would know if enemies are around while we're in the border region. And he showed me how I can use my spiritual energy to raise the flying sword into the air. I haven't learned how to really fly on it yet but I'm slowly getting there! Senior martial brother Mei said it would be good if I learned it fast so that I could get away if I was attacked by somebody I can't beat.”

Baili Chao raised his brows. That brat had actually managed to teach his disciple some new things? And here he had thought that Yun Bei Fen's limit would be to learn how to take in spiritual energy. He glanced at Mei Chao Bing but the brat still refused to say anything. In the end, he could only turn back to Yun Bei Fen. ”Is that true?”

Yun Bei Fen nodded eagerly. ”Yes! I can show you!” He took the sword out from his spatial ring and then used his spiritual energy to make it rise into the air. The sword wavered from side to side, not looking stable at all but this was much more than Baili Chao had ever been able to teach him.

The Elder was dumbfounded. These two had only been gone for a few weeks. How come his disciple had suddenly learned new things? He turned to look at Mei Chao Bing and finally clicked his tongue. ”Oh, all right, I know now. You go on in and rest first, Fen'er. I'll talk to your senior martial brother Mei for a bit.”

Yun Bei Fen looked from one person to the other and tugged at his Master's sleeve again. ”You're really not angry at him?”

Baili Chao sighed and waved at him. ”You go now. What's there to be angry about? You finally learned some new tricks. Who knows? Maybe this brat can actually still make a decent cultivator out of you.”

Yun Bei Fen pursed her lips and looked at Mei Chao Bing. He really didn't want to leave him alone when his Master was in this kind of mood.

Mei Chao Bing smiled and nodded to the door. He was really happy that his little bunny was trying to make things easier for him but he knew that he wouldn't get around this talk with Elder Baili. So why should he try and bargain for more time? It wouldn't change the final outcome. So he should just face it right now.
