Chapter 356: The Master and His Disciples-II

Two years after Tian Yi had found the red of his eight disciples, he taught them with equal treatment even to Tian Shi who was his blood related nephew. As Tian Yi was a person who were silly, dumb, but fun to be with, the disciples loved him to the point they would act like his own family. That day, Tian Shi and the other disciples were practicing in the backyard and Tian Shi who was lazy, took a moment of rest and ran away from the backyard to the cherry garden when by chance he overheard a loud trashing.

"Don't think just because the master favor you he will protect you all the time!" shouted one teenager who was older than Tian Shi by years. As his name that said ten, he was the youngest out of all disciples and knew from the voice it was the fourth disciples who was called 'Wu' by Tian Yi who felt lazy to call them each by name this calling them by numbers.

"The master is being fair, he never favor one person just because he likes one certain disciple." and this other voice belong to Tian San, the psychotic, thought Tian Shi. He knew since the first time Tian Yi took him from the street that there were something off from the person but Tian Yi would say it's his rebellious phase. But it wasn't much different with Tian Wu. The young man would look docile in front of Tian Yi but behind, he was a person who would not tolerate anyone looking down at him except for Tian Shi because he knew he was Tian Yi's nephew.

Usually he would come out at time such as this and separate them fro. fighting as Tian Yi had ruled them not to fight but that particular time, he didn't. He wanted to know and was curious of what Tian San and Tian Wu would do behind Tian Yi's back.

"I know what you did don't act stupid, Tian San. You think just because you was given the name by master you feel you are better than others." Tian Wu said grudgingly.

One would expect Tian San to become meek and quiet but Tian Shi called him psychopath for a reason. Tian San stuffed his hand in his pocket, shrugging his shoulders, "So what? It's your own fault not being the best in everything that master see you lesser than me."

The word lesser became a spark of fire between the boys and Tian Shi only slapped his forehead at their childishness. Were they really eighteen year olds? And Tian Wu was nineteen of he wasn't wrong, how come they can't do a better bickering?

"This is why a thief shouldn't have been picked up from street! A useless beggar like you knows nothing than to steal!"

Tian San's eyes widened he looked at Tian Wu for a minute with a shocked face before his fists came flying across Tian Wu's face. As they had began to fight Tian Shi quickly hurried himself to stop the two. That evening, the three was called to Tian Yi's room and was punished with the promised punishment Tian Yi had said to Tian Shi before he had picked up his disciples.

Tian Shi sat in Tian Yi's room which was made up with walls of woods and flooring of woods with a sulking expression while rubbing his head where he felt the pain came from. "You're evil! Why did I have to be dragged in this?!"

"Don't try to fool me, I know well what you did! It's no coincidence you were there aren't you?" Tian Yi narrowed his eyes with a scolding expression.

"I didn't! It was a coincidence!"

"And you purposely didn't stopped the two before they fight." Tian Yi retorted right after he answered, surprising Tian Shi.

Tian Shi then recalled he saw someone passing and remembered it was Tian Liu, the sixth disciple, that woman! thought Tian Shi angrily. "I will remember this." muttered Tian Shi when he felt his head smacked.

"Aw! What?!" Tian Shi looked up at him both surprised and angry.

"Do you think I have no ears and can't hear you speak?!" Tian Yi scolded with a twitching expression.

"Yeah of course you have no ears! That's why you blamed me instead of blaming that psychopath and that sheltered boy! They're eighteen and nineteen but no different than three year old child!"

"If you know that you should have stopped them and brought them to me! just so you know tonight there's no dinner for you or either of them!"

"What?!" Tian Shi slammed his hand on the wooden floor where they had been sitting at with legs crossed. "This is child abuse! I will call father!"

"Call Him! Call Him!" Tian Yi replied, "I will also tell him how much you've waste my money only for eating! You're small and short but you eat for ten people's worth!"

Tian Shi stood up from his seat with a baffled expression, "Uncle, are you really an adult?! That's low! You also eat much for twenty people's worth! Not to mention you would alway snack even while you're not teaching anyone! Also I know that you wouldn't move unless it's needed and never move while teaching! Your money is gone because of yourself!"

"I move! I move from this own room to backyard!" Tian Yi defended himself that had Tian Shi shook his head.

"That doesn't even count as walking! Unless it is for teaching you don't move from your place!"

"It does! When my legs took a step it burns all my calories! Unlike you I'm taller and bigger that's why I need more food to sustain my body!"

"Forget it! Even if you try to cook we will only be eating poisons and glass shards anyway! Just stay at your place for all I care and become fatter everyday!"

"What did you say?! Come here!" The pair of uncle and nephew instead bickered with each other, fighting who had worked more than other until a knock came across Tian Yi's room.

Turning his face Tian Yi stood to open the door and didn't forget to warn Tian Shi, "You're still not getting dinner!"

Tian Shi humphed, "Like I care about missing one dinner!" he replied stubbornly despite feeling the hunger growling in his stomach.

Tian Yi opened the door and found Tian Jiu standing with his hand pointing to the left side of the door hurriedly, "Master! There! There is a problem! Tian Wu and Tian San is fighting again!"

Tian Yi and Tian Shi didn't exchange a glance but the two immediately rushed toward the room where the disciples stayed at. At once he saw Tian Shi with his eyes red beating Tian Wu who had been pushed down to the ground defenselessly beaten with his arms trying it best to guard his face which work to no avail. Even when Tian Yi arrived, Tian San didn't notice he had arrive. The boy appeared to have a smile on his face when he saw the other boy had been beaten black and blue.

"TIAN SAN!" Tian Yi yelled in a frustration and met Tian San's eyes looking at him in a surprise expression.

"Master..."
