Second Rebirth: I Want Another Ending!

@@

It wasn't even dawn when Zhou Yun kicked the two children out. He didn't say anything, just huffed and slammed the door on them.

That alone made Shi Zhen snort a weird laugh. Xueyu also smiled at the shack before turning away.

They were cleansed from yesterday disaster, but Xueyu has a sparing number of clothes, so they are going to stay away from doing dirt work today.

"Where are we going?" Shi Zhen questioned, following closely behind Xueyu. Xueyu was quiet but she wasn't unapproachable. Considering that Shi Zhen was away from home, with no one he knew, he sticks closer to Xueyu in this master-disciple duo.

He was still a kid, a kid who find more companionship with people his age.

Xueyu's smile lingered, she pointed to him and gestured the entire valley.

She was gonna show him around as her master wanted.

"Alright… Where are we going first?"

Xueyu pondered for a bit before tugged his sleeves and pointed to a direction. It was to the right of where they are standing.

"There?" Shi Zhen squinted his eyes, the sun hasn't come out yet, but the mist had begun roaming the valley. The nature of things made the path look dark, misty, and certainly ominous.

Xueyu nodded and began walking toward the direction.

Shi Zhen quickly followed her. His footsteps tailed Xueyu's like a shadow.

They traveled quite a distance… but Shi Zhen had yet to see anything of significance.

There are trees, grass, some wild high-grade plants… general wildlife but nothing Xueyu stopped at.

The sun was up now but the mist hasn't faded.

"Has it always been this misty?" He started.

Xueyu nodded.

They walked another distance before seeing a garden, Shi Zhen felt slightly taken aback.@@
