The Story of Nine Journeys

Back (practicing)

Jun Yuan's perspective on seeing the world is now slightly changed, to be honest all this time he thought his strength was high enough but in reality he was just like a frog in a shell

but it is also not his fault entirely because indeed all this time his Uncle and Aunt really only trained him without explaining anything and also they always helped him if he had difficulties

in his heart was now a desire, yes, to become stronger so as not to disappoint those who had educated and cared for him

He felt with his current condition it was impossible for him to complete the task given to him

but even though the task he carries has not been completed, he cannot ignore his feelings about the Empress' condition

after struggling with his mind he decided to go back to repeating his practice, now he focused on recuperating by meditating, even though his strength had fully recovered but his head still hurt

Half a day passed he opened his eyes, the pain in his head had subsided

" it's done,, now what are you going to do "mei Lin's voice resounded in her mind

" I'll practice first here "reply Jun Yuan

" don't make a sound you just have to say in your heart,, okay, try to show me everything you have "

Jun Yuan got up, why was he now more excited, he showed everything he learned, until the night before he just stopped

" Luckily,,,you master everything quite well even if it's just the basics but I think I can fine-tune some flaws in your movements maybe even develop them but for now it's better that you train your breathing first "

Jun Yuan understood and realized that sometimes in some conditions his stamina decreased faster

A week passed during that time he also trained under the guidance of his sword spirit, in addition to practicing the style he also trained his breathing, if he still had time he reopened some of the books he brought

Mei Lin explained many things about the martial world, Jun Yuan was happy with that his insight was now wider even though sometimes there were some questions that were not answered but did not make him discouraged

He thinks "it may not be time to know it yet "

Jun Yuan is often asked to meditate under the waterfall because of the many benefits he gets, in addition to practicing breathing also strengthens his physique

Mei Lin herself continued to watch in her place, in her heart she said

" haaahhh,, honestly you should be thankful that I want to help you, it's rare for a creature like us to care so willingly "

" without performing a blood contract or by defeating the spirit of the occupant of an heirloom it is impossible for him to help "

" But I saw something interesting in this boy's body, with his fragile body he could even withstand the various forces that lay within him "

" I'm just wondering what fate brought me to meet you, maybe this boy could change the fate of the curse holder of the Four Wind Eyes or maybe,,, something bigger than that "

" whatever it is, from now on your life will change, you will experience greater hardship and suffering than others like your predecessors,I can only guide you through it and you alone have to live it, so from that prepare your mentality from now on "

Jun Yuan packed his goods, today he planned to continue his journey, despite the benefits but he also could not stay for long in this place

" senior,, may I ask "jun Yuan said in his heart

" as long as it doesn't bother me please "

" why would senior help me, according to the book I read "

" i just feel sorry for you "

" pity,,,"

" heem, uh,,"

" what a reason it is, I don't think I'm that weak "

" oh so you feel strong "

" it's not, it's, it's,,,"

" i-it's because,,,"

" Your EMOTIONS, that's your weakness, you can't control your emotions, no matter what you are you'll fall if you can't control your emotions, I've seen a lot of it "

Jun Yuan was speechless he did not deny that, his emotions would explode uncontrollably when it came to his family

" you realize it, don't you,,"

Jun Yuan nodded

" good, make it a lesson, from now on I'll act if it happens "

" thank you senior "

" it's too early for you to thank me "

" but, Senior hasn't answered my question "

" which question "

" why would senior help me "

" i told you I only pity you "

" is that right "

" anything else, that's the reality "

" all right,,,"

" aiihhhh,, very, very daddy "

" what does it mean "

" i want to rest, don't bother me "

Jun Yuan could only sigh, he knew the reason was not that simple but he also could not force so for now he could only resign

moving from where he moved towards the sunset, he wanted to get to his destination city immediately to find some important information as Qiaoyu said

when he was about to pass through the outskirts of the forest he stopped on a branch of his ear hearing the sound of the impact of weapons not far from his place, suppressing his presence as deep as possible he moved closer with his heart

he saw a warrior in a sea-blue foreign dress being swayed by six men in black robes but he did not see any emblem on his robe,at first he suspected it was a Red Scorpion group but it seemed his guess missed, he just remembered maybe it was a Mountain Bandit group

For now he only noticed because even though the foreign swordsman did not look desperate and even seemed to play with the group that attacked him

" heart boy, I feel a dangerous foreign aura from that person "mei Lin's voice sounded in her mind

Jun Yuan nodded, his instincts also felt the same, besides his movements were also very different from these mainland martial experts

After some time slowly but surely the group of Mountain Bandits one by one fell until they reached the last person with a quick movement of foreign swordsman stab his weapon into the chest of his opponent

Jun Yuan was quite amazed by the performance in front of him, the warrior moved gently more like someone who was dancing but in each of his movements carried great power

the swordsman suddenly stared intently at him, pointed with his weapon and said with a brick stammer

" Get out, move forward, and, face it, I'm "

Jun Yuan was quite surprised by it, he had suppressed his strength as deeply as possible but was still in the know but he was more focused on the way the swordsman spoke,he thought it was so funny like a kid just learning to talk

" really a freak "
