The Story of Nine Journeys

first step

About eighteen years passed after a war that destroyed a clan

In a forest a young man sat opposite a pair of warriors

with a down face he made a sound

" uncle, what aunt I have to really go, why can't stay here with you, said Uncle out there is dangerous, can't I die anytime if I go out there"

" Yue, you must know the breadth of the world, make what is there as an exercise to add experience and forge yourself" replied Jun Shandian the young man's uncle

" if I go who accompanies Mei (uncle's daughter and aunt) "the young man named Jun Yuan reasoned

" you don't have to worry about her it's our responsibility as her parents to take care of her and educate her " replied Ren Xihua the aunt

His uncle breathed

" Yue you must remember that there are tasks that you have to complete on your own, not for your uncles and aunts but for yourself, I think you are ready and sufficient to do "

Actually they both have not been willing to release the child they cared for and educated for eighteen years but because of the mandate they both received inevitably they have to be willing to let go

They realize that if he continues with his development will be hampered and also they have taught everything they have so there is no reason to stay with them

Now they can only hope and submit to fate to forge it making it a powerful human being beyond them and their ancestors

" but isn't uncle and aunt so great that even the lord of the black hill submits to uncle and aunt then why not uncle and aunt alone who complete the task I still want to be with Mei " Jun Yuan still insisted on refusing

" can't, you still have to go now get ready to bring all your needs" Jun Shandian got up and left

Jun Yuan flinched, not expecting his uncle to throw him out like this, he knew his uncle was very strict but did not expect Setega to think this

Ren Xihua knew what he was thinking

" Yuan believe whatever we do is best for you, maybe now you don't understand but I'm sure someday you'll understand"

Jun Yuan was down, he himself knew what was the reason he had to leave just thought it was too sudden

" well, fine if uncle has said that what Yuan can do again other than obey him instead of "

Ren Xihua smiled, he stared inside the young man before him

" aunty knows you're the best "

Jun Yuan went to prepare his needs, after which he looked for Mei but did not find her he finally found out after asking his aunt that Mei was looking for medicinal herbs

After a little afternoon the three of them stood in front of the house

Jun Shandian handed him a short sword while Ren Xihua handed him a wooden box and a leather pouch

" take that with you, remember to use it when you are desperate to understand "his uncle reminded

Jun Yuan nodded

" sorry this time aunt and Mei can't accompany you, watch your heart and remember don't trust anyone easily "

Ren Xihua hugged him releasing the tightness in his chest and then put on a veil to cover some of Jun Yuan's face so as not to happen anything that was not desired during his trip

If noticed Jun Yuan was not like a young man of his age, his body was slightly smaller with a slightly slender body even if in view of the back of his posture was more like a girl,his handsome face as well as long white hair with his blue eyes made him look unfamiliar in the eyes of ordinary people,that was what always made his uncle and aunt worried about him until Jun Yuan was forced to wear a hooded robe and a veil or mask

Not to mention an incident when Jun Yuan and his family were summoned by the imperial side made the emperor order that Jun Yuan cover his face

Actually Jun Yuan had two very close friends with him, one female and one male both over Jun Yuan's age, they met by accident in two different places,even he had a chance to fight with one of them when fighting over his hunting animals

The only one the woman met when Jun Yuan was told by his aunt to look for a rare medicinal plant,although there was a fight but not until the fight happened because Jun Yuan decided to give up and give the medicinal plants to his female friend even though it ended tragically because he was punished by his aunt had to meditate underwater plunge overnight because it failed to bring results

after walking quite a distance Jun Yuan sensed an aura following him although faintly he could still sense it

" May, come out quick "

The figure of a girl jumping up and standing in front of him, he was three years younger than her

" hmmph, how can Gege not know my presence "Ren Xumei snorted because even though she had suppressed her aura it could still be known

Jun Yuan laughed at hearing that

" that's why practicing really should not play just "

Ren Xumei grew even more sullen, after taking a good look she finally came to her senses with what was really happening

" Gege goes where, why alone "

Jun Juan sighed

" i'm sorry Mei Gege has to go maybe it will be long "

Ren Xumei

" dad and mother kicked Gege out, did they not love Gege anymore "

Frantic Jun Yuan immediately cut in

" Mom, it's not May "

" then why did they let Gege go by himself "ren Xumei's tone of voice grew higher

" there are some tasks that Gege has to complete so it will probably take longer Jun Yuan explained

Ren Xumei finally understood, she knew about what tasks her family used to do that she did not know the task Jun Yuan meant this time was different from usual

" so that's it, Mei thinks Gege is kicked out, then don't forget to bring sugar when Gege comes home later ya "

Jun Yuan smiled and ruffled the hair of the girl he thought was his younger brother

" well, I say yes, train well to catch up with me if you go home long" said Jun Yuan, who nods Ren Xumei

Jun Yuan jumped up and flashed quickly, he could not linger with Ren Xumei for fear that he was more reluctant to leave the girl

After Jun Yuan's departure with his innocent face Ren Xumei spoke while pointing her fist upwards

" i have to train hard so I can catch up with Gege soon, my spirit,, yeeaah"
