Chapter 48: Opening of the Inheritance ground!
Xue Hua stripped down her clothes and got naked as her gaze fell on the steaming tub of hot water filled with medicines, its nourishing scent spreading in the air.
Mei Yu who was beside her smiled gently "Now, Little Sister, enter in."
With a nod, Xue Hua entered and soaked her body in the bath, absorbing the medicine from the water.
...
Meanwhile, Zhang Yuan who was standing on the grass field looked at Ming Yuelin who was practicing the curve shots with her bow.
*sleesh* As the arrow pierced through the air, it again missed it target and fell to the ground.
A soft sigh escaped his lips because even her directed shots were missing her target which she used to hit perfectly before.
As he walked closer to her, she stopped her training and looked at Zhang Yuan "Master..."
Muttering his name, her gaze lowered and Zhang Yuan spoke "Take a little rest."
Ming Yuelin nodded her head and instantly sat on the grassland letting the cool breeze graze her sweaty skin.
Zhang Yuan sat beside her on the ground and raised his hand, patting her head "What happened, Lin'er? Your aim is sloppy today..."
"Is there something bothering you?"
Ming Yuelin curled her legs up and hugged her thighs "Nothing... Master..."
Even though she says that she is conflicted about her own feelings which she had realized just a while ago.
Till now she had a close and funny relationship with her Master.
They are Master and disciple and they can't have intimate relationships as it's forbidden and considered taboo.
But she couldn't stop herself from looking at him in that way...
She knows it's wrong, but she can't just help herself from falling for him.
And since morning this thing is running on her mind making her feel guilty for being an immoral disciple who loves her master.
Her eyes were always drawn to him like a moth to a flame, unable to tear herself away from his captivating presence.
Letting out a sigh, Zhang Yuan wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer as she fell on his chest.
"Are you afraid of not getting the inheritance? Don't worry... even if you didn't get the inheritance, you are still my disciple."
Huh? Ming Yuelin raised her head and looked at the warm smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
Looking into his soft gaze, her blue eyes trembled in emotions and she unconsciously lifted her hand, her fingers grazing his long white eyelashes.
"Lin'er?"
Her expression grew tender as a gentle smile graced her lips and she leaned forward, resting her head on his shoulders "Master..."
A mumble escaped her lips, her heart swelling with happiness.
She raised her hands as they found their way around his neck and she hugged him tightly 'When he is so kind and gentle to me.. how can I not fall for him?'
Her fingers gripped the fabric of his robes as she nuzzled her face in his shoulder 'It is not my fault that I love you Master... it is your fault for having everything I love...'
"Seems like I am spoiling you so much." Zhang Yuan said with a chuckle.
Hearing his voice, Ming Yuelin giggled "I love when my master spoils me..." she muttered in a soft tone.
She gently moved her body from the ground and sat on his lap, her ass perfectly sitting on his thighs; her hands still wrapped around his neck.
"Master... I am all sweaty after the intense training, is there any way to cool me?"
Zhang Yuan pinched her cheek and let out a chuckle "Then go and bathe in the lake, it will be good for your body."
(>﹏<)"Nooo!!" She snuggled her face on his shoulder "I don't want to be separated from my Master."
Hm? Zhang Yuan raised an eyebrow and Ming Yuelin also realized her words just now and panicked "U-Uh.. I mean, I am very lazy to walk down the mountain, so I will stay here with Master."
Zhang Yuan smiled fondly and raised his hand as a gust of wind appeared from his palm "Wooahh... now it's cool..." Ming Yuelin giggled.
Seeing her giggle, Zhang Yuan's eyes softened and he touched her cheek, the ice element playing on his fingertip.
"Shhh." Ming Yuelin shrieked at his sudden icy touch and felt his fingers were very cold.
With a smile playing on her lips, she raised her left hand from his neck and intertwined her fingers with his, feeling the coldness spread through her body.
"Master..."
Their fingers perfectly interlocked with one another as she looked into his golden eyes; his long hair tousled by the wind.
'As always... Master is lovely..'
Two days later-
"Do you know which Sect I am from?"
"Here is the badge..."
"Now, Fuck off."
The large area outside the Inheritance ground is filled with a large number of disciples; everyone trying to get a lead in the lineup.
The disciples from the most prominent and powerful factions are allowed to line up at the front so they can enter the Inheritance ground first while the other are lined up behind.
Ming Yuelin who was on the last row behind everyone else sighed in her heart 'I am already last and I also need to go through the trials to get the inheritance.'
'Now I am at the 2nd level of the Spirit Profound Stage and the maximum eligible quality is the 9th level of the Spirit Profound stage.'
'And I have confidence that I can take on 80 percent of the disciples here except for the ones in the front line.'
'They should be around 7th to 9th level of Spirit Profound Stage.'
*tap* At this time, four people walked toward the center of the area near the enormous red altar where the top looks like a phoenix.
Seeing them everyone went silent; they were the King of the Northern Bei Kingdom, General, Province ruler, and Head of the town.
With a light-hearted chuckle, the King of the Northern Bei Kingdom spoke "It is good to see everyone is in high spirits to enter the Inheritance ground and get the inheritance."
"This inheritance ground may open anytime today and I wish luck for every one of the disciples here."
