The Pembarker of Eternity

CHAPT 14'S. The Pergoki

"What are you doing here?" Said the figure who was behind Xiao Wu Jie, making him shocked half to death.

Soon he folded the cloth and grasped it tightly. Cold sweat started to wash his face before he could look back.

Xiao Wu Jie closed his eyes, trying his hardest to remain calm, he adjusted his breathing then immediately turned his head towards the voice of the figure behind him.

As quickly as lightning he thought of finding a way out of this dangerous situation. After turning his head and looking at that figure he grasped the cloth tighter and tighter.

The face of the figure he had never seen before, although it was dim but his face was quite clearly visible. The figure's face was old, his entire hair, beard and mustache were long gray and the figure's face exuded an extremely affecting aura.

Xiao Wu Jie tried to remember who that figure was, he remembered yesterday while chatting with the two Zhang brothers, he had asked about the figure of the Academy Chair. One that stood out from its features other than its entire hair, beard and mustache was gray hair, on its forehead was a large black mole.

It was unmistakable that it was the chairman of the academy, and naturally after remembering it Xiao Wu Jie's feelings became increasingly uneasy.

'What should I say' then an idea came to Xiao Wu Jie's mind.

"Sorry grandfather I want to meet Vice Chairman Bou" Xiao Wu Jie spoke smoothly, he managed to cover his nervousness perfectly.

"What's this early to meet him? are you trying to trick me, young man?! what's that in your hand I'll see!"

This time Xiao Wu Jie was nervous half to death, if the cloth was seen by the Head of the Academy then it was over.

"Ahh this is nothing, hmm I don't know grandfather at all why I should explain it, I should meet Vice Chairman Bou now" Xiao Wu Jie almost lost his confidence after the Academy Chairman was about to forcibly take the cloth, yet suddenly.

"You're here, didn't I tell you to meet me first, why don't you listen to me young man" The voice of that figure was familiar to Xiao Wu jie's ears.

"Sir Yang San what is this?" the Academy Chief said to that figure known as Yang San.

Yang San was the elder who yesterday was in the hall with Vice Chairman Bou, as Xiao Wu Jie recalled yesterday he was quite a quiet person and did not say much.

Understanding the situation Xiao Wu Jie had intended to take advantage of the moment that could turn things around.

"Ah forgive me elder Yang, this grandfather is unwilling to allow me to meet Vice Chairman Bou" Hearing the word 'Grandfather' from Xiao Wu Jie's mouth, Yang San almost choked on his emotions, saying, if only the situation was different then it had already been taped to Xiao Wu Jie's head when he said that.

'Has he gone insane, but why does the Academy Chairman look so ordinary?' he asked in his heart. Then he saw the cloth that Xiao Wu Jie had brought.

"That's the cloth I gave you, isn't it? why did you ask for it? what do you want to do with that cloth?"

"Stop! what are you guys talking about?!" The Academy's chairman was confused by the situation that had occurred.

"Look grandfather, I remembered that today is the anniversary of my grandfather Li Ming's death, so I intend to commemorate this day with all the people in the academy as a sign of respect for him" Somehow Xiao Wu Jie could think of saying that as if he could think of no other reason.

"Aihh apparently you're Xiao Wu Jie the grandson of my best friend Li Ming? why didn't you tell me from earlier, I can help you" Inevitably the academy's chairman believed after Xiao Wu Jie mentioned about his best friend.

Xiao Wu Jie seemed to be in disbelief that the reason could be accepted by the Head of the Academy, even he had never heard the story from his mother and uncle that the head of the academy was his grandfather's best friend.

"Well today I'll call all the elders, we'd better commemorate them together" the Academy's chairman said before he left.

"I already know what you're about to do, I tried to stop your intentions because I think it's very dangerous for you" Yang San had already known Xiao Wu Jie's thoughts from the beginning, he also knew what Xiao Wu Jie was doing in the hall was because of Vice Ketu Bou's attitude.

"So what do you mean by elders?"

"Let's come with me first, it's very dangerous to talk here" Xiao Wu Jie was finally invited to Yang San's residence.

Upon entering his residence, the first thing Xiao Wu Jie witnessed was the many books neatly arranged on the shelves surrounding almost the entire spacious room.

On the table was a map of the Great Moon Kingdom and a strange compass made of iron.

Xiao Wu Jie was about to ask about the compass, yet he immediately paused his intentions after Yang San started talking.

"Rightly what you think of him, I find it hard to even believe in your very young age that you are able to read someone's character in the blink of an eye. But your actions are still too childish" a moment of silence and Yang San continued.

"I'm sure you must be very intelligent, but given your age and experience you still have a lot to learn, that's not the way to take down a stronger opponent than you, you'll endanger yourself"

"Do elders have a way?" xiao Wu Jie asked.

"There will be a lot of time to think about it, actually there are many ways I have done to stop his enthusiasm but he is too strong. You're still a prospective student here, there won't be a chance if you make trouble. You better focus on your training"

Xiao Wu Jie started to think that what elder Yang said was true, he did not want to create a problem that would threaten him.

"Ahh if you have time, take it to my place. Here I am known as a war strategist and a politician, if you want to learn, with your intelligence I am sure it will not be difficult to teach you" After that Yang San went somewhere after ordering Xiao Wu Jie to stay in his residence until the bell rang.
