Accepting a Disciple

"Elder, when we return to my clan, can we leave quietly with my sister and mother? Is that possible?" the boy asked.

"Why so?" Chu Yu asked in return.

"Seeing the members of the clan will tar your eyes, it's better if you don't see them.".

The boy said honestly, "I've had enough of them.".

"They betrayed you, and even betrayed your mother and sister, aren't you mad?" Chu Yu asked.

"I am," Shang Guan Mu replied.

He sighed, "They're doing it for their own survival. In this sort of place, anyone can crush us. Under such pressure, it's understandable that such cowardice is born. I want to crush all of them more than anything, but they're still my clan mates, I can't do it.".

Chu Yu looked at the boy named Shang Guan Mu and smiled, "Alright, I promise you that I'll rescue them!".

"Thank you elder!" Guan Mu thanked as he kneeled down to give 3 kowtows.
