Ah, freedom! Basking in the warm, late summer sun, a smile naturally falls on my lips. Finally, no more closed-door cultivation! "Haha, who knew that Senior Sister could be cruel!" Locking me away for nearly three months! I almost missed the entire summer season! Well, it's in the past now. I'm free! I can go where I please! "I'm free, baby!" "Martial Aunt Jing Ran, is that you?" "Ah? Bai Yin?" Turning around to the call, I spot the small girl nervously fidgeting behind me. Ah, how long has it been…-

'Okay, I can't lose this round. I have too much on the line!' Ten laps around the courtyard and then five hundred sword swings! It was as if her senior sister was trying to kill her! "Are you ready to begin?" Across from her, Ye Lian Hua remained passive as she tapped the flat of her sword against the palm of her hand. "Yep!" It was all or nothing for her! Yanking her sword out of the ground, Zhu Na Ran readied herself for Ye Lian Hua's attack. "On three," Master Luo called…

"Sister Bai Yin, what are you doing out here" Long Yuan rushed over Bai Yin's lonely form as she stood in the middle of the road, staring off into the distance where Zhu Na Ran went. "A-Ah!" As soon as Long Yuan's hand landed on her shoulder, Bai Yin snapped out of her dream-like trance. "Oh, Junior Brother, what are you doing here?" "Aiyah, what happened to your face," Long Yuan nearly jumped out of his skin, looking at the blood image in front of him. The river of dried blood that streamed down Bai…

I looked up to the source of the voice and was surprised at its owner. "Are you, um, lost," the owner of the voice squeaked. The person in front of me was an adorable girl. She appeared rather young, perhaps a little bit younger than me. She had an air of innocence around her due to her round face and rather short stature. "Oh, my gods!" Someone has come to help, and they happen to be a girl! How long has it been since I saw another of the fairer sex other than Senior Sister! "I-" "Uh," I must have been…

"Ah, let's see, let's see," scanning my eyes down the row of scrolls and books, I pulled out a few manuscripts and books that interested me. Opening up one of them, I read its contents. "Hmm, Thousand Wind's Blade? Might be interesting to try," closing it, I placed it on my library table before moving back to the bookshelf. Having been to Yong Shi Library for almost all morning, I began to accumulate a pile of books. So much so, that some began to slip off the table and onto the floor. Hmm, perhaps I'm…

"Ta-da! Hot spring!" Zhu Na Ran cheered as she ran up to the water's edge. "And it's not too hot!" "Be careful not to slip," looking around; I could see that the hot spring was somewhat secluded. Wedged between a crack in the mountain, and surrounded by lush greenery, it aided in privacy as the only opening seen was the entrance. The hot spring seemed to be coming from the mountain as from a large crack, hot water spewed into several pools before slowly descending into the central and largest…

"Ahh, it's finally over," Zhu Na Ran cheered as she exited the testing hall. "After a month of torture, I'm free!" "Don't get too excited." I can't have her get too excited and run off again. "Wah, come on, Senior Sister. Can you genuinely say that you're not excited to finally not have to attend classes anymore?" "They weren't a chore." "Blah, boring," she groaned, doing a faux gag for effect. "My brain would have melted in if I continued with those lessons. Lucky for me, I'm an inner sect disciple,…

Zhu Na Ran laid in bed awake as she listened to her senior sister's soft, even breaths. 'Senior Sister, shouldn't be awake after so long,' she thought as she turned her head to the small window across from her, just above the area Ye Lian Hua was resting. The moon was nearly full as it hung from the inky night like a shiny chipped coin. Looking over at Ye Lian Hua, Zhu Na Ran slowly sat up and quietly pulled off her quilt. 'Senior Sister is a notoriously light sleeper, so I gotta be careful this time…

"Achoo!" "Here's a tissue." "Euh, thank you, Senior Sister." sniffing, Zhu Na Ra grabbed the tissue with her free hand before honking into them. "Uh, this sucks…" "Eh," I nodded. "Now copy these passages. And make sure to keep your handwriting neat this time." Seated in a broken gazebo, I watched as water dripped down from the edges of tiled roofs as a reminder of last night's storm. The ground outside dark and moist as new life began to break through the surface. On the surface of an old desk, a…

"Sorry to keep you waiting," smiling, I pulled out a small package from my pocket and opened it up. "I had some business I needed to attend. You don't mind, do you?" "Caw," Xiao Niao cocked its little head at me before cautiously hopping to my outstretched hand. Peering at the napkin of seeds and crumbs, it pecked at a seed experimentally, before eating one. "Here," setting the napkin down on the ground, I crouched as I watched the bird cheerfully eat the feed. "Don't overeat or you'll be too fat to fly…
