A Benevolent Master

"Shhh...don't scream."

The person in the dark whispered in zehan's ear.

"I won't harm you.", again the person whispered in a sweet and kind voice.

"Wh..who are you?" , zehan said while shuddering as the hand was still there.

"Haha, boy, you don't need to worry about that. Come with me."

As soon as the person finished his words zehan saw they were....in the sky!

Zehan now looked closely at the person in the bright moonlight and he saw a old man with long white hair and beard and some wrinkles on his face. He was smiling and looking at zehan with a kind look in his eyes.

They were hardly in the sky for a few seconds when the old man safely landed with zehan at the top of the highest tower in the city.

The old man started, "Hello, little buddy. I am Master Qin from Qianghu mountain. Would you please come with me at the mountain ?"

Zehan was shocked when he heard those words. What is this old man saying? He looked like a cultivator straight out from murim, and judging how he leapt on the top the tower with just a casual jump he must be very powerful. So why was he asking a poor orphan to come with him!? And he never heard that a human could just jump 700 meters only using his or her legs.

"What do you want?", zehan's hands were shaking with unknown fear.

" Hoho little boy, don't be afraid. I would like to take you as my disciple. You see, I didn't took anyone as a disciple in my whole life but my life is coming to an end now. So I was wondering around the world to find a suitable candidate to pass down my techniques and I think I found what was I looking for."

You have potential my boy, a very terrifying at that. If you are trained seriously...I am afraid this old man would stand no chance against you. So little zehan would you like to be my disciple?"

The old man's smile was looking unworldy as the moon shone upon him.....
