Chapter 7

After asking Daoist Green Fairy if she was having a strange dream about the painting and saying yes, I was shocked, but after I heard that she didn't learn or comprehend the technique inside the painting, I was relieved. It looks like I am the only one who can comprehend the painting the master gave me.

After giving the wild bear I hunted down to Daoist fairy as a way of thanking her for helping my sister, we decided to go our separate ways.

Wudi village.

Inside the small hut.

"Xang'er, even though the pills given by that cultivator have had an effect and healed you, remember to drink this precious medicinal root provided by the master; I assure you, this is much more effective."

Chen kindly reminded Xang'er, and he warmly smiled as he gazed at his two little sisters, savoring the food that the master had given him.

Xang, gulping down her food, responded happily to his brother, "Yes, I understand, big brother! I will drink the master's medicine; don't worry! This food was really so tasty, I felt energetic when eating it. But big brother, why didn't you eat with us?"

"Brother, did the hidden master really give this to you? It looks really expensive and tastes amazing. I feel really happy and can't seem to stop eating it." said Xing, eating from the transparent lunchbox full of joy.

"I'm full, and seeing you both sisters happy makes me full and happy, and Xing'er lowers your voice. Never let anyone hear about the master. I only told you both sisters about this because I trusted you both, and this is our secret, okay?." Chen kept a smile on his face as he adjusted his voice to a serious tone while reminding her two sisters about the master.

The twins spoke in unison, ""Yes, brother.""

Chen suddenly exclaimed, "Xing'er, Xang'er, tomorrow morning, let's go see the master and show our respect. Perhaps he will be pleased and offer you both a chance."

A day has passed.

Inside the Old man's manor.

After his student departed yesterday, he reviewed all the knowledge stored in his mind, from Madara's fundamental techniques to Genryusai Yamamoto's fully complete template. Upon realizing that he had mastered all the abilities in his mind, he felt elated and rejuvenated, recalling his childhood memories as if he were young again.

However, upon recollecting his fossil appearance, old age, and the limited time he had left, he chose to prioritize leading a tranquil life and immersing himself in the natural world, rather than withdrawing and wielding his power in this serene environment.

"Damn, I suddenly remembered that it will take me a week before I leave again in this damn jail. Well, it will only take a week anyway, it's better than nothing," The old man grimaced in frustration but was able to calm himself.

Upon realizing he was unable to leave, he decided to head back inside his house, switch on the loudspeaker, exercise on the 2nd floor balcony, and resume his daily routine.

After doing his daily routine and planning to clean his garden, he heard a sudden, familiar voice from outside the gate.

"Bhohoho, good timing! Finally, he's here!"

The old man smirked foolishly as he ran towards the gate.

As he opened the gate, he was surprised to find Chen standing with the two cute little girls next to him.

"I disciple Chen Greet the Master!"

Bowing and cupping his fist, Chen immediately introduced his two little sisters in front of his respected master.

"Master, this is Xing'er and Xang'er; they're twins and my little sisters; they're here to express the master's kindness."

The two little sisters spoke shyly in front of the mysterious old master in front of them.

"W-We thank the master for his kindness!" said the twins simultaneously.

"M-Master, thank you for the food yesterday. It's really delicious and tasty. It's my first time having a good meal in a long time," Xing, with a high-pitched voice, said shyly.

"I-I, Xang, am deeply grateful to the master's medicinal roots and his kindness!" Xang said in a low voice while fidgeting.

Observing the cute little girls with matching black hair yet distinct eye colors and personalities, Xing, with light blue eyes, exudes energy and liveliness, while Xang, with light yellow eyes, displays a hint of timidity and shyness.

With a smile, caressing his long white beard, the old man gestured his hand while telling them, "Bhoho! Don't be shy; let's go come on in."

"Oh, before that, young Chen, let me teach you how to ring a doorbell so that you don't need to shout or knock in front of this gate." Remembering his loud shout earlier, the old man taught Chen how to use a doorbell right away.

'Door bell? Is it some kind of cultivation technique?' thought Chen couldn't hide his excitement.

"Young Chen, notice the black pillar on the right side of the gate? Simply push the small golden button, and it will make a sound, indicating that there's a guest or someone outside the gate. Give it a try."

"Yes master!"

Ding!

'Amazing!' Chen, with a stunned expression, was surprised when he pressed the button as if he had learned a secret from his master.

"Instead of knocking, just go ahead and use it, alright? Come on in, and let's have breakfast together since I haven't eaten yet."

"Understood master!"

***

In the large, ornately adorned dining area..

A dog and four people look happy chatting in front of the table, enjoying music playing from a speaker.

They just finished having a good meal; their meal was not much, just a fried egg, cabbage, and a piece of bread.

But for Chen and his sister, they considered it a good meal and food that was out of this world.

"Master, your food was really delicious, what is it called?" said Xing in high spirits, curious, full of joy.

"Yes, it's really tasty! But master, what is that sound? I feel like my body was energetic when hearing it," Xang said with a surprise, feeling strange as her body was full of energy.

Chen was taken aback by his sister's barrage of questions. Despite warning them not to ask any foolish questions earlier on the mountain, he now felt a sense of dread, fearing the master's disapproval.

"Xing'er! Xang'er!" Chen softly uttered, attempting to jog their memory about what he had previously mentioned at the foot of the mountain.

The twins immediately shut their mouths, afraid that the master would not give them a chance.

'It looks like this Chen was really strict when in front of the table; he looks like an Asian mom reminding her kids.'

"Bhoho! Calm your hot-tempered ass, young Chen. Don't be strict with your siblings; it's ok."

"This disciple seeks forgiveness," said Chen, cupping his fist.

Nodding his head to Chen as he accepted his apology, he gazed at the twins as he spoke. "As for Xing'er's questions, it's bread omelette. It's a good food after exercising, but it's a pity my milk ran out. As for the sound you've heard, it's coming out from a device called a speaker. It's good when you're feeling bored, and it boosts adrenaline when it's really loud, and the music is good. That's why I listen to music every morning. As for the name of the song, it's called Gangnam style."

'G-Gangnam style? Martial arts technique? Is Master hinting at me to learn Gangnam style through that amazing sound? But what is Gangnam?' thought Chen with a serious expression.

Upon responding to the twins and realizing that the three siblings had been walking from the village to here in the mountains for five hours, the old man fell into contemplation.

'Hmm, should I allow them to stay here? They don't have any relatives or acquaintances in that village anyway, and it's dangerous when these twins are left behind by their brother every morning in that village. Well, I'm just an old man, and my life is imminent. Nothing bad can happen, even if they do the worst things to me. I might as well make them stay here so that I can't get bored.'

Clearing his throat, the old man spoke in seriousness, "Ehem! What do you think of staying here while teaching you three siblings about cultivating, literature, and other things? What do you say?"

'T-This! Is the master accepting my little sisters as his disciples? This!' Chen was full of joy and on the verge of tears as he heard his master's heavenly words.

"Master, r-really, we can stay here?" Xing said with a shocked expression on her face. She couldn't believe that she could live in this grand abode of the master.

"Yes, you siblings can decide if you really want to stay and live in this spacious house."

""We thank the kindhearted master very much,"" said the three siblings on the verge of tears, excitement, and joy.

"I disciple Chen will forever grateful to master's kindness and good heart!"

"So did you decide whether to stay in this mountain or that village?." The old man with a expression full of calmness can't wait to hear the three siblings answer.

As if they already knew what was the right choice, the three siblings simultaneously answered, "Master, please accept us to stay in your humble abode!"

"Good very well"

Steeling himself, curious if his master was really recruiting his sister's, Chen asked. "Master, are you also accepting my sisters as your disciples?"

'It looks like instead of student, a disciple was the right word for teaching in this world? Well, if that's the case..'

"That's right, they will become my disciples. Is there anything wrong, young Chen?"

"No master I'm just glad and very happy!" Chen preventing his teary eyes was very glad, deep in thought.

'The master really approved! My sister's was really lucky they were accepted by the peerless master; maybe the master found the hidden potential in them or was pleased by their politeness. Either way, it's all good.'

Chen's face beamed with happiness as he looked in his sister's direction and gazed secretly at his master's, as if indicating to them something.

Seeing their big brother's signal, the twins immediately stand up, cupping their fists and bowing their heads, showing respect to the old man. ""Disciples Xing and Disciples Xang greet the great master.""

The old man expressed his approval upon seeing the courteous twins. He reminded them, "Remember, only ask important questions and lend a hand around the house when you have free time or after your studies, alright?"

""We understand""

'Bhoho, finally a helping hand aside from Chen, after all, I can't do anything with these old bones.'

"Right now, you twins can keep yourselves entertained with Christbrown, as I guide Chen in the proper techniques of cultivation."

'You gained a loyal disciple, Xing; you are now able to benefit from your disciple.'

'You gained a loyal disciple, Xang; you are now able to benefit from your disciple.'

'You're plot of land was expanding.'

'You gained a loyal follower from this world; the more loyal follower you acquired, the more free you became.'
