TWO THOUSANDS YEARS LATER
" Shifu! Shifu!" A Young maiden called. to her master who is meditating at the silent Room making her stop from running almost falling down.
"A-xiao, How many times do we have to tell you to not make any noise when you are here" Her senior Brother Scold her.
"I'm sorry Senior Brother" She whispered and wait for her Master.
"A-xiao" Her Master Called she turned around and smile when she saw her shifu is done.
"Shifu, I'm done with my training for today, can we eat breakfast?" She asked making the Senior brother shooked his head.
"I will prepare the food, Shifu" He bowed in an orderly and elegant manner before leaving the room, leaving them both alone.
"How's your training, A-xiao?" Her Shifu asked.
"It was going very well Shifu, but I still need to work on my spiritual power" She said pouting her lips.
"What's with the long face?" Master Xuan Asked.
"Shifu, am I really gonna be a god or like Xin yi one day? A-yi Came after me as your deciple but She improved quickly than me" She said Disapointment in her tone.
"A-xiao, Xin Yi is already a bit trained by her Father already before she became my Disciple" He explained.
"You However, just started your Training not long ago, so you still need to cultivate your core and train hard" Her Shifu Added.
"Shifu, I've training for a year now and All I can learn was how to use a sword, I can't even make a flower bloom like Xin Yi does!" She complained just as when Xin Yi Arrived together with Their Senior.
"A-yi" she called her Best friend who is walking fast towards her. As Xin Yi is infront of her, she flicked her fingers on A-xiao's forehead. making the latter hissed in pain.
"What's your problem?!" She yelled.
"ShiJie, I was born a flower fairy that is why I can make a flower bloom easily, you on the other hand, have a blood of a true god in your core which made us completely different. We both are having a hard time training but we both do it together, so why are you complaining?" Her friend nag, making her pout even more.
"Shifu, why do I feel like I'm the Junior here" She said in a puppy eyes making the latter gasped.
"You-" Xin yi Tried to speak.
"Alright, that's enough both of you, just sit down and let's eat together" Their senior said.
"Yes" They said in unison.
"Today you will be both training your sprital energy, A-xiao since you want to make a flower bloom so bad then it'll be your training today" Master Xuan said.
"Shifu, how does making a flower bloom can train my spritual energy flow?" She asked confusedly.
Xin Yi Slapped her forehead in disbelief, when she heard what her ShiJie just said making both men laugh a little.
"ShiJie, By making a flower bloom Shifu meant to use your spritual enery to make a flower bloom, not plant actually a flower like you always does" She explained and smiled making her Shijie nod.
"I still don't get it" she blurted out making Xin Yi Choked on her food.The two man just smiled and shook their head.
"Never mind shijie, Shufi will show it to you later" She just said and continued eating.
A-xiao just shrugged her shoulder and continued eating as well.
" Greetings, shifu!" The deciples greeted.
"Continue your trainings" He ordered
"Yes, Shifu!" And they went back to training.
Master Xuan together with A-xiao and the other two walked through the yard where there are disciples training, into the Pavilion in the garden.
"Shifu, why are we here I thought you want me to train my Energy flow?" A-xiao asked. And looked at the view of the Cloudy Mountain.
"You are" Her Shifu said. "With Xin Yi" he suddenly add.
"A-yi?/Me?" They both said and looked at each other.
"Shifu, I'm her senior why does she have to be the one to train me, Can It just be Li Shixiong?" She asked and Xin Yi Nodded. Zhou Li was about to make an excuse when their Shifu talked.
"Fine. A-li train your Junior Sisters will you?" Their master said.
"Shifu, but-" He complaints.
"What?" His Master Asked. "Fine, It's either that or you will not be going in the kitchen for a month" Master Xuan Threatened making the Man agreed in defeat. Zhou Li is Skilled when it comes to cooking and not just in swords and martial arts, that's why many of the Woman disciples had a crush on him.
"Yes, Shifu" He said and they both went out to the center of the garden. Ordering the two to stand beside each other.
"Alright, let's get started" He said and waved his hand making a fresh picked twig of a flower float. Each of them has one.
"Watch what I'm doing carefully" He ordered and that's what they did. He started to make his chi flow through his hands and onto the twig. A minute later and the Twig became a beautiful color white Flower.
"Wow!" They both exclaimed. "Your Turn" He said and gestured his hand towards the twig infront of them.
"Let your Chi Flow onto the twig, focus on the object and don't get distracted" He command.
"Yes" They replied and started. Xin Yi made the twig turned into a beautiful flower in just a short of time . On the other hand, Xiao Is still struggling.
"A-xiao, Your mind is not in focus, Close your eyes, calm your mind and focus on the object in front of you and on your chi, Believe in yourself like How your bestfriend, me and Shifu Believes in you" Zhou Li said and smiled.
She look back at her Master who is now smiling at her and nods giving her courage, she looked at her bestfriend who is looking at her too, hands infront, chi flowing to the flower also nods.
She looked at her Senior brother as she nods at him before closing her eyes and calming herself down, after a minute she opened her eyes and started to make her chi Flow into the flower, she struggled a bit but didn't gave up.
It didn't take long until the twig have grown a leaf and then became a flower, minutes passed and the flower finally bloomed into a beautiful cherry flower making the butterflies and birds flew around it.
Her master, Zhou Li And Xin Yi was happy and at the same time shocked. No one has ever achieved such strong chi to make a flower bloom like that and gave a smell so Good even the Birds and butterflies got attracted by it.
"You did it!" Her best friend blurted out and ran towards her to hug her making her almost fell.
"Thank you" She smiled and looked at her master who is now walking towards them.
"Well Done, all of you" Master Xuan Said. "Continue to train your Spritual chi and start cultivating, both of you" He said to them. "But don't over do it find some time to rest too" He added.
"Yes, Master" They both said. and bowed a little extending their arms upfront to give a gesture.
"Go back to your training with the other disciples now" their master said.
"Yes!" They replied and went back to the others.
"Her Majesty didn't failed to Raise her" Zhou Li Said.
"Yes, she didn't" Master Xuan Agreed. " How was your mission going did you find Qian Xia?" he asked. Zhou Li sighed.
"I searched for the oldest daughter of The God of war and the Poenix Queen in the Mortal Realm In hopes of finding her their but failed. I will continue to search for her Master I will be leaving the day after tomorrow" He explained. Master Xuan Nodded.
They both looked up at the sky when a Golden Light appeared going towards them. They both nod to each other and walked towards the disciples who is now in an orderly position bowing their heads and their hands infront forming a gesture of greetings.
"Greetings, Your Majesty" Every One greeted as the Empress arrived. The empress smiled and told every one to rise.
"Your Majesty, it's an honor to have you visit our mountain. Please Follow me" Master Xuan said and gesture towards the pavilion. The empress Just nodd.
"Continue your trainings" Zhou Li Said.
"Yes!" They replied and went back to training.
"Master Xuan, I can tell that all of your disciples are improving on their trainings" The Empress Said.
"Thank You for the appreciation , Your Majesty" He Said."Your Majesty is there anything you want me to do, for you have visited our mountain unexpectedly?" He asked and the Epress Smiled.
"Xuan, How's A-xiao Doing in her trainings and cultivation?" The empress asked, making the Master Smile.
"I see, You still care for the child very much your Majesty" He smiled. " A-Xiao is doing pretty well with her trainings but still struggling with her Spritual Power" He begun to explain. " She may still need to be trained for her to be able to awakened what has to be awakened inside her, Your Majesty but don't worry she's doing great with her Martial Arts." He smiled.
"That's a quite relief then, It's been a while since she left the Palace to be your disciple, To be honest I want to be her personal Master but The God of war said it'd be better if you're the one who's gonna train her, which I presume is really a good Idea" The empress said in complete relief.
Master Xuan was about to talk when Xiao Arrived in a hurried manner.
"Shifu!" She called while running and didn't notice a maidservant coming. She accidentally bumped into the Maidservant sending the cup into the air towards the empress.
As she saw it flying towards the empress , she quickly didn't waist any time and use her Spirtual energy to protect The Heavenly empress without breaking the cup as it is very important for her master.
"Your Majesty!" She exlamed and went to the Empress' Side to check if she's hurt.
"I'm very sorry, Your Majesty did You get hurt? Are you okay?" she asks Continuously. The Empress Smiled.
"A-xiao, You have grown into a beautiful lady" The empress said smiling. "Don't worry I'm fine, Thanks to you, You Have Improved my dear" She said.
"A-Xiao, Why were you in a hurry?" Master Xuan Asked. She smiled and Open her palm and a Lily Bud Appeared.
"A-Yi, Teach me how to make a flower pod bloom and stay alive without any water" She Happily Said.
"Oh, Really" The Empress asked, and the master just smiled and shook his head. This Lady can be happy in any way.
A-xiao Nodded. " Let me show you, Your Majesty" She paused. " But Am I allowed to?" She then asked.
"I can see that you didn't failed to teach her a good manners too since she got here" The Empress Said, Pleased by her manners.
" Your Majesty, Shifu has rules when It come to his disciples, no exceptions" A-xiao Smiled. " The Day I came here to be his disciples, elegant manner, and Respects was one of the many things I learned from Shifu, I took it to heart and remember it all" She explains while smiling.
Her Master Smiled proudly as the empress laugh proudly. Same goes for her Shixiong and bestfriend outside the pavilion.
"That's good, My Dear" The empress said. "I'm Proud of you, now can you show me what you have learned from your friend?" The empress asked and she nodded.
Xiao Made the bud float and positioned her arm towards it. Making her chi flow into the Bud a minute later and It bloomed into a beautiful lily Flower, and then she made the flower glow like a lantern which made them shocked even Xin Yi Who didn't expect it.
"This is-" he master said in shocked.The empress Smiled.
"It's Beautiful" She Whispered. Xiao smiled at her and put the flower on her palm. And gave it to the empress.
"It's for you, your majesty." She said giving the flower to the Empress. " This flower now has my Chi, whenever its glow started to fade you just have to use a little bit of your spiritual energy to provide for it" She said smiling.
"Alright, I will treasure this gift from you, then" The empress smiled making her do the same.
"Shifu" She called to her master and him his sword making him creased his forehead.
"Unsheathe it Shifu" She said and so her Master did and saw a beautiful carving of its name Zhengyi (Justice).
"I carved it's name to it since you told me you named it already" And smile.
"Well, I guess this makes me being your master worth it" He said and put a sword away,
"Thank You, Shifu" And they laugh.
"Before I forgot, I wanted to invite you all personally to attend The banquet, at The Heavenly Palace Next month. I wanted to invite you early because I will be busy Preparing it" She said.
"Oh, right next month is Uncle Yichen's Birthday" xiao said.
"Uncle?" The two suddenly ask. " My Auntie—the empress' husband" She explained awkwardly.
"Ah" They both said in unison.
"Alright, that is all for today I should be going, My Husband Didn't know I was Out, he must be worried by now" She said smiling. Xiao Arched Her eyebrow.
"Auntie, You argued with Uncle Chen, without a reason again didn't you?" She said suspiciously.
"I certainly did not" She said Defensively. "Yes, You did, Your majesty" The God Of water Said who had just arrived.
"Hmp!" Said the empress and leave. "Erm...Greetings, Your Lordship" Was all they could say and he just smiled and went after his wife.
"Shifu" Xiao Called. "What is it?" he asked still looking at the fading figures of the Heavenly Empress and the God of water.
"Are they really The God Of water and The Heavenly Empress?" She asked out of nowhere making her master shook his head and laugh.
"That's just how they Show their affections to each other, A-xiao you will understand it when the day comes for you to love." She just pouted and Nod.
"It is getting dark you may continue your trainings tomorrow" xuan said and walked towards his room.
