I Will Buy You New comb
Zhi Chang immediately opened his eyes after he heard the commotion, the room became mess with the broken wall, it looked as if someone attacked ruthlessly.
He rushed to hold Jen, she herself was struggling to stand up since the girl was almost wailing on top of her.
"Jen hold my hand," Zhi Chang extended his hand to help Jen, the girl saw him ignoring her and rolled her eyes, "Your woman is not under threat of another man, you see I am also woman and have no interest in another woman, she moved a bit to let Jen stand up.
"I can see," he nodded simply.
"Seriously, I am sorry for this inconvenience, I don't intent to disturb this couple," Lin'an stood up and bowed, she was not sarcastic and nor friendly but if she was not forced crash, who would want to disturb them but what now.
The attendant and his men were alarmed now, they were looking at each other whether to continue or leave?
"These men came looking for trouble else I was peacefully sitting in my room," Lin'an spoke first.
Zhi Chang and Jen looked toward the men and exchanged glances, was it possible that they were robbing? This can be the case, else what could be the reason for their late evening attack?
The attendant got confused whether to attack on both Legends or let it go? The chances were lower to win against, the attendant and his men, none of them was a legend level that means even if they combined attack, it won't be that powerful enough to stand against two Legends.
The attendant and his men ran back, they can only clamp a single Legend with their combine effort not both of them.
Lin'an heave a sigh of relief looking them running away.
"They are gone but they wanted to rob me off my storage?" she asked to herself.
"If you still wanted them to rob you then go and look for them," Zhi Chang spoke, in his view she should understand why they ran away.
Lin'an finally gave a look to the both, man and the girl, she carefully observed as if people would look before buying expensive objects, yes she saw them as objects, "You both belong to?" she was not sure who they were because she was not familiar with anything much less to people.
"We are outsiders and your weapon just broke my comb," Jen spoke with ease to lessen the blank worry of this girl, from her looks she don't seemed ordinary citizen of this manias.
"Oh, I really broke it," she shifted her attention toward the comb and her weapon and picked both, she examined the comb and spoke, "I can buy you similar comb though it looks expensive but don't worry I can pay, father once said that outsiders should be treated nicely," Lin'an waved her hand and smiled.
Zhi Chang and Jen got little puzzled, from the day they came in this Manias they were seeing lawless society and robbers everywhere, who was this girl to talk decency and moral.
"I am called Lin'an," she bowed slightly toward them.
��Lin'an you don't need to buy me a comb, its not that you intentionally broke it, right?" Jen spoke pleasantly.
"That's right, I did not break intentionally but because of your presence that robber did not make another move so I am indebted this way," she proved that she understood about why those robbers chose to leave.
"Jen, we'll buy a comb when the market will open in the morning," Zhi Chang spoke this time.
"I will be staying in the next room, please inform me when you both go for shopping I also wanted to shop few things," Lin'an bowed and walked from the broken wall and started to drape some curtains to create a temporary wall.
She was buying and preparing to leave her home Manias and live somewhere else away from her mother.
Seeing her leaving, Zhi Chang started to clear the mess of debris, the broken parts of the wall were scattered around the floor, after he was done clearing floor, he walked back and sit on the chair.
"When did you wake up, do you need anything?" he asked Jen, her resting time was less if compared with him, he wanted to know if she was alright.
"I woke up few moments before the crash and was about to comb my hair," she sat on the bed looking the broken comb, now she can't her hair until morning and they buy a comb.
"Sometimes, comb is not the only way to fix the hair," Zhi Chang stood up and walked toward her, stood near her picking hair carefully and combing with fingers, Jen blinked several times at this.
Zhi Chang perfectly fixed her hair and went back and sat on the chair.
Jen could not speak anything or object, she was just stunned.
Zhi Chang saw her stunned expressions and spoke, "I need to practice my technique in the open field to test my prowess, what do this junior mentor think, should we head at the top of this building?" he spoke as everything was alright but for Jen it was shocking.
She was always independent and what was with this palpating of heart? Senior Zhi Chang was same genius, she was also same girl who was always occupied with her advancement then was there anything unusual with her heart?
She shook aside her thoughts and nodded, she should focus on giving pointers and few tips about how he could increase his strength.
"Let's move then," she stood up to see how much he improved further.
They were standing at the top of the building, there was the hub and population of the city toward the west so they chose opposite direction where small hills were in sight.
"Is there any other way to improve other than punching empty air?" Zhi Chang asked.
"Of course there is," Jen smiled and spread her dominion, "We can practice real time head on,"
Zhi Chang pleasantly spoke, "Sure," and they brought their dominions to face each other, "Don't think to hold on while attacking wild punch," Jen voiced amid their howling dominions.
The attendant cursed this couple who make it impossible for him to rob the wealthy girl, they themselves were son careful so there was no chance for him.
"Junior Jen, I wanted to become best trooper because I want to become protector of the new Defender, what I should do?" he asked while balancing his essence flow and the manipulation of dominion for the technique, he was about execute his technique.
"Senior should work hard on learning two of the seven attributes at least other than three to five techniques and if possible evanesce aptitude," the requirement to become a protector of Celestial Sphere was not low, it was demanding.
"Can I request you to mentor?" he wanted to spend his time with her and no matter if it was his learning, an excuse to stay by her side? Seems like that.
"I can only mentor few things but you to wander and battle with different types of competitors and this is the only way for you to keep increasing your strength other than a battle experience of trooper also count much," she was ready to welcome his wild punch now.
Zhi Chang keep in mind that she told him not to hold himself when going for practice with her.
He executed his wild punch and an experienced cultivator could see there was space for improvement, "What you need is complete focus," Jen reminded.
"Your heart is the center of peace as well as center of fury, you have to grasp both but don't forget your own path, the inner peace can assure complete focus and fury will help to hit the mark," she repeated words spoken by her mentor years ago.
"I understood, I need to learn and practice at the same time," just that he was worried would she prefer to stay by his side or wander alone?
"As long as I am here, you can ask whatever bother you," Jen spoke to ensure.
"There is nothing that bother me other than a single thought," he spoke while hitting his punch and Jen forced back his punch, the clash of her dominion and the punch proved a little messed this time, because both were talking during practice and it broke their concentration.
"What is that single thought?' Jen finally asked to see that Zhi Chang was not completely focused, she was thinking that Zhi Chang should leave her if he was unable to focus staying with her.
"I might be taking your precious time when you can spend it for your learning, if you feel that way please let me know first," he don't want to ask for help shameless when her own learning practice was on stake and she intend to fight existence trials in future.
