"Master, can you show me without destroying everything around us?" Yu Bin said, getting up quickly and grabbing her hand.
" oh, no fun, anyway there are right and left strikes horizontally," she said, waving her sword but not using spiritual power anymore.
" It's fun, it's fun, just that everything here is destroyed now. Yu Bin said a little uneasy. This master of her will be her death one day she thought.
"Here is your assignment. Use your sword to practice these movements. These are the basic movements of sword fighting and if you perfect them, you'll become much harder to beat. Ah yes, you should use spiritual force too. " Bao Fang said and turned around to leave.
"Where are you going?" Yu Bin asked Bao Fang when she saw that she was ready to leave.
"I'm just going around here, you should start your training," Bao Fang answered, pointing around them.
"Oh, ok, I thought you would leave and let me be here by myself," Yu Bin said, sighing in relief and smiling.
"Don't worry, I will never leave you alone, I will always be by your side. So don't worry and start your training." Bao Fang said, caressing her head and leaving.
Left alone Yu Bin unsheathed her sword and then started to swing her sword the way Bao Fang told her. The day passed with her using her spiritual force and striking the air while Bao Fang made something to eat with a few fish she caught and some rabbits. In between, her training she was eating then started her practice again.
"Yu Bin, let's go, you should train tomorrow too," Bao Fang said looking at her, she could see that Yu Bin was tired.
"Oh, I can stay a little bit more," Yu Bin said tiredly.
"But I'm tired," Bao fang said. This girl always has a habit of exaggerating and she promised Xian Chen that she would take care of his little princess.
"Oh you are tired, then let's go back, master." Yu Bin said and both girls left home.
Arriving at the castle, Bao Fang said Goodbye and left Yu Bin in front of her room.
Yu Bin entered her room and stayed down on her bed remembering what happened in the morning.
"Yingyue shift," Yu Bin said, putting the swords beside her.
The next moment Yingyue shifted and stayed beside Yu Bin with a bowed head looking down.
"I am here, master," she said, not looking at Yu Bin.
"Yingyue!" Yu Bin called her sweetly.
"Yes, master, " she answered, not looking up.
"Look at me, please, " Yu Bin said, pleading with her. The way Yingyue was looking right now was hurting her so much.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't talk with you like that." Yu Bin grabbed her face and made her look up.
"Master I was not…"
"Ssstttt, don't talk about that again, let's forget what happened in the morning, ok?
" hm " Yingyue answered, smiling sadly. Her master still did not believe her.
"Can you hug me, please? " Yu Bin asked, smiling tenderly and Yingyue hugged her tight.
"Not so tight, you will crush me," Yu Bin said chuckling.
"Hm, I'm sorry" she replied and loosened the embrace.
" Yingyue…. I'm truly sorry, " Yu Bin said sadly, hugging her back.
"Hm "
"Yingyue, will you sleep with me tonight?" Yu Bin asked, still in her embrace.
"Hm "
"Yingyue…"
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry for hurting you "
"Hm," Yingyue replied and lay in the bed keeping Yu Bin in her embrace while tears were falling from her beautiful eyes.
Her master was in danger and she didn't know how to help her. What was hurting her more is that her master doesn't believe her. She understands that she lived more time with Meng Fang than with her but still, doesn't she know that she will always be by her side? This thought was hurting her the most. Her master didn't trust her.
Closing her eyes she fell asleep while embracing Yu Bin who was sleeping soundly.
Opening her eyes Yu Bin found herself still in Yingyue's embrace and she smiled. Looking closely at her face she finds stains of tears, reminding her of yesterday.
*thinking about that, why does she think that Ming Fang is evil? I should be careful around Ming Fang from now on. If I'm very close to her Yingyue can lose her mind and hurt her so it is better to keep a little bit of distance till Yingyue will know her better.* Yu Bin thought but her thoughts got interrupted by Yingyue who just woke up.
" Good morning master," Yingyue smiled tenderly looking into her master's eyes.
"Good morning, Yingyue, did you sleep well?" Yu Bin asked, touching her cheek and brushing aside a few strands of hair that had found their way on it.
"I slept well master, thank you for letting me sleep beside you," Yingyue said looking at her master.
"This is good then, these days we need to adjust our spiritual energy to be equal. This way I will not use so much spiritual energy while using you "
"Master, did I get you tired yesterday?" Yingyue asked worriedly.
"Just a bit '
" I'm sorry," she said, closing her eyes. She is always doing something that will hurt her master.
"Don't say sorry, it's something natural. It's the first time I'm using spiritual energy while you, and it was not that bad. Usually, when I'm using my spiritual force with a sword they will let me without breathing, sucking all my energy within a second, but you didn't"
"I promise that I will do my best to protect you," Yingyue said, smiling sadly at Yu Bin.
"Yingyue, you are still sad…" Yu Bin said, looking at her.
"I am not " she answered denying. She never stopped smiling, she was afraid that if she would stop smiling then she would start to cry and Yu Bin would get angry again.
"Let's go then, master, it's waiting for us," Yu Bin said and dragged Yingyue out from her bed.
After having a bath Yu Bin dressed and after catching her hair in a ponytail she shifted Yu Bin and went out of her room. Walking down the stairs she was face to face with her master.
"Master, what are you doing here so early? Yu Bin asked surprised, she didn't expect to see her master in her house.
" Ah I was just coming to you…" she added but the next moment she got interrupted by Bao Fang who seemed in a hurry.
"Yu Bin, I'm sorry but can our training halt for some time?"
"Why? What happened? Did something happen? Did I do something wrong?.."
"Nothing happened, don't worry. I just sent your master on a mission." The king said. He heard the commotion and came to see what happened.
"What mission?" Yu Bin asked curiously. It's the first time she saw her master leave on a mission
" saving mission…Xian Chen w…."
"My king, we shouldn't..." Bao Fang interrupted the king, she knew once Yu Bin would find out it would be hard to deal with her.
"What happened to brother Xian? What saving mission? Master, you said Xian Chen is back home, what happens? "
