Chapter 1: The Cultivator Smiling Behind Clouds

 

 Behind the clouds was a youth smiling with his dark hair down like the stream of the river and in his waist was a sheathed sword named "Zhen Xin" (Pure Heart) it was clear to all that he was a good-looking youth and it was none other than Jia Qingyun

 

Jia Qingyun was known for being "Bai Jian Wu Zhe" or White Sword Dancer because of his powerful spiritual powers and it looked like he was sword dancing since he sways them gently, he was also known for his heroic deeds. At the age of 14, he was able to save a kid from a ferocious yin spirit and because of his incredibly kind and generous personality, His name spread throughout the five famous sects and news even reached the Heavenly palace

 

The surroundings were calm and tranquil until then a voice suddenly called out “Gege!”

 

 It was his brother Jia Liangyun, even though he had a lively and bright voice, Jia Liangyun seemed to have been troubled by something,

He cleared his throat and spoke, “Ge, Father called you this morning, but he seemed as if he....” before he could finish speaking Jia Qingyun replied to him saying “Why the rush? Rest for a while and tell me what's going on”

 

“Ge! You have been invited to the Heavenly Lecture! ”, Jia Liangyun screamed, but it was a bit too much

 

Jia Qingyun thought his brother was pranking him and puffed a laugh,“ Right now you told me father called me on something, what was it?”, Jia Qingyun asked him while laughing, Jia Liangyun showed his brother a grumpy face and said “Ge, How is that funny? And father was worried about you because of the person who will conduct this lecture!”

 

Jia Qingyun finally stopped his laughter and asked, “Why? Who is going to conduct the lecture?” Jia Liangyun's face darkened and his body stiffened and gradually replied 'The Heavenly Palace themselves!'

 

Jia Qingyun smiled at him and said, “Aren't you just trying to prank me, how calm you act so seriously this time??”, hearing his response Jia Liangyun came back to his senses and said in a worried tone “Ge” but before he continued what he was about to say, someone behind them with a calm voice called out to the both of them and with the two brothers looking back to see

 

It was their father, Jia Bianhu!

 

Jia Bianhu was the sect leader of Yingxu Jie sect and also their father, behind him were both of Qingyun and Liangyun's subordinates, Ming Yuanshi (Jia Qingyun's) and Zhi Shen (Jia Liangyun's)

 

Jia Bianhu said in a calm voice,  “Since your brother already told you then....” and made out a light sigh before sitting next to Jia Qingyun.

Although they were father and son, it seemed different due to Qingyun having a graceful and gentle face while compared to his father, Jia Bianhu looked fierce and tough

 

After seeing them together, Jia Liangyun was ready to exit the tea house but then Jia Bianhu called him back “Liangyun, I hadn't told you to leave yet. ” Hearing this, Liangyun went back and sat opposite next to his father, Jia Bianhu sighed and said, “If only your mother were here.” Both Qingyun and Liangyun's faces were both sympathetic and not until then Jia Bianhu told the two brothers about the Heavenly Lecture.

 

Jia Bianhu said, “The other sects and I had a very important meeting yesterday regarding the heavenly lecture, I already decided who will go” Hearing this Qingyun made a sigh and agreed while Liangyun was praying to the gods that his father wouldn't choose him next.

Jia Bianhu said “I thought of four persons and one of them is Jie Qingyun while the other three is Ming Yuanshi and the other is none other than Zhi Shen”

 

Jia Liangyun was surprised and said “Why does my subordinate have to go? If he has to go then-” Before he had to finish his sentence, Jia Liangyun's started to get pale and started to think, “The world is turning against me, Ge help me”

 

Jia Bianhu seemed to notice Liangyun's expression and said “Liangyun, just accept the fact that you are chosen and besides there is no way to decline the Heavenly decree.”

 

“I understand father but when will we start training? ” Jia Liangyun spoke with respect. Although Liangyun has a weak heart since birth so he cannot fight on battlefields but his knowledge was beyond others since he couldn't catch up with his elder brother, Liangyun studied laboriously like non-other and was received the title "Zhengnian Dashi" or also known as "Mindful master"

 

Jia Bianhu replied, “Your training master will personally be me and training starts tomorrow at Three o'clock in the early morning”

 

All four of them Jia Qingyun, Jia Liangyun, Ming Yuanshi and Zhi Shen's faces were completely shocked and when Jia Bianhu left the tea house alone, both Ming Yuanshi and Zhi Shen sat with them and the four of them were close friends since they grew up together

 

Ming Yuanshi said, “Let's make a bet hehe” together at the three of them but Jia Liangyun was unsure why all of them started to stare at him, “The person late tomorrow will treat our meal when we are in the heavenly lecture” Zhi Shen added while smiling and they all started to think

 

But with the awkward silence, the four friends started to laugh together. Jia Qingyun cleared his throat and started to speak “I'm going to the market to roam since it's quite boring here”, Jia Qingyun started to walk out and left his sword "Zhen Xin" so he that can't show to others he was a cultivator. And when he left out and finally arrived at the market, Jia Qingyun accidentally bumped into a person, it was a guy!

 

After accidentally bumping into each other, Jia Qingyun looked to see who the person was and raised his head ready to apologize.

The man had his hair tied and he had a good-looking face, it also seemed like he was the same age as Jia Qingyun but he was just taller than him. He wore a black robe and his skin was as white as snow but it seemed as if someone was chasing him

 

“I'm so sorry for my carelessness, are you alright? Are you hurt somewhere?”, Jia Qingyun asked him but the black-robed man just stared at him and Jia Qingyun suddenly grabbed his hand, taking him somewhere hidden

 

It was an abandoned building in the market street and Jia Qingyun spoke while heavily breathing from the fast run and tend to check at the black-robed youth, “You're safe here and why were you being chased out?” Jia Qingyun asked him and not being able to notice he was still holding his warm hand

 

Jia Qingyun let go of his hand and spoke hastily “Ah, I'm again so sorry for suddenly grabbing your hand”, Jia Qingyun slightly turned red and saw those who were chasing him pass by. Jia Qingyun let out a sigh before turning in to the youth

 

The black-robed youth bowed down to show respect and said “Thank you, Young master, for saving me back there” while he remained his bowing position he also asked “May I ask this young master's name?”

 

Jia Qingyun spoke with ease but used a different family name instead “Ming Qingyun”. Jia Qingyun bowed down to also show his utmost respect and finally thought “I'm sorry Ming Yuanshi but let me borrow your family name this time”

 

The black-clad youth smirked and said, “Jia Han is my name”.

 

Hearing this, Jia Qingyun froze and wondered “Is this guy one of my father's disciples?, well Yuxie Jie sect has a lot of disciples so maybe this guy is one? But wait? I never have seen him in the Sect ceremony”

 

Since Jia Qingyun had to look at every disciple his father has and memorize each of his father's disciples' faces and names and so he thought it weird and wondered “Maybe he's new?”

 

Jia Qingyun looked at the black-clad youth and smiled, “Are you from any sect?” and finally started to think lightly

 

Jia Han replied with an “en” seeing this Jia Qingyun spoke “Ah, a secret disguise doesn't work”

 

Without interim of time, Jia Han started to speak “Well then Young master Ming, till we meet again”. Jia Qingyun replied to him, “En, So long”

 

As the two separated ways, Jia Qingyun headed back to his sect while Jia Han headed to Heise Mountain, Jia Qingyun found it suspicious but at the same time scary since years ago, Sacred Yin beasts were found lurking there due to the mountain full of resentment and it was slowly getting many but then since Mount Heise was in Yuxie's border and so Yuxie Jia sect was responsible in handling this affair but the resentment and yang energy were too powerful, so Yuxie Jia sect was just able to seal the yin spirits

 

Jia Qingyun was completely worried about Jia Han but it wasn't Jia Qingyun's business so Jia Qingyun made out a sigh and continued back to his sect. Upon arriving, Ming Yuanshi was ready to scare him but then Jia Qingyun yelled out, “Where ever you are, I know you're here Yuanshi” but since Ming Yuanshi was going to keep hiding.

Jia Qingyun also hid and know Ming Yuanshi smirked and looked around but instead it was Jia Qingyun scaring him shouting “Haa”

and seeing Ming Yuanshi's scared face made him laugh a lot that tears flowed out Jia Qingyun's eyes

 

“Tsk, Sleep early Qingyun, you know we'll be early tomorrow”, Ming Yuanshi spoke while being slightly mad and went back to his room while Jia Qingyun still kept being worried about Jia Han and so Jia Qingyun rushed to his father's room and asked him if a person can go inside the sealed mountain

 

“No, A mortal can't pass through within the seal unless he was immortal” replied by Jia Bianhu

 

Jia Qingyun felt relieved and said “It was a good thing he was a mortal” and so Jia Qingyun went back and got ready to sleep but then he realized that every time he thinks of that scene where he held Jia Han's hands, his heartthrobs as if he ran out of breath and still couldn't sleep and so instead he practiced his sword arts and meditated to make him tired but it was already twelve and their training starts exactly at three and decided not to sleep anymore

 

Jia Qingyun let down his sword and meditated till two o'clock, after that meditation, he immediately went to the training grounds and saw his father swaying his sword and finally thumped his sword down to the ground

 

Jia Bianhu said, “Qingyun, you're already there then why don't you come here”

 

“Ah, yes”, Jia Qingyun smiled and went beside his father, hearing a faint sound coming by, it was Ming Yuanshi and Zhi Shen

 

“Oh, Liangyun's not here yet” spoken by Zhi Shen, Ming Yuanshi was laughing while Zhi Shen was smiling and stood next to Jia Bianhu.

When the four of them heard someone yelling, “Father!, I hope I am not too late” It was Jia Liangyun, with a fan that carries two Chinese characters (Zhi Hui) or known as "Wisdom"

 

They started training, fighting skills, learn sword techniques, chi gathering and studies were also quite important and to determine each strength and weakness, they had to fight Jia Bianhu one by one!

 

The first one called was Ming Yuanshi

 

Ming Yuanshi step forward though he specializes in being witty and smart he doesn't fully fight with martial arts and sword fights but since he was called of course he would step forward and take out a wooden training sword. Ming Yuanshi started to have a fighting pace and raced towards Jia Bianhu but unknowingly Jia Bianhu was swift and dodged Ming Yuanshi's strike and started to attack Yuanshi and charged forward to strike Yuanshi

 

Right after Ming Yuanshi was struck, he fell on the spot

 

Jia Bianhu pointed his sword at Ming Yuanshi who has completely lost to him and told him to get up, Ming Yuanshi hurriedly stood and asked Jia Bianhu what was missing in him

 

“You're good at charging to attack first but you're too low on defense, Just play the long game and wait” Jia Bianhu replied with a calm tone and expression

 

Jia Bianhu called out, “Qingyun, come here”

 

Jia Qingyun with strong spiritual powers walks forward with no fear and full with courage.
