Hidden Prodigies

Ximen Buxing and Wanwan, in alarm, vaulted up from the pine tree, encountering the unidentified man dressed in plain clothing, unadorned sword strapped to his back with ordinary brown cloth, standing at the top of the cavern wall.

“Who are you?” Wanwan and Ximen Buxing didn’t like the fact that the man didn’t have any cultivation despite his intimidating presence.

Gu Yitian eyed the man that resembled a man who wielded a beast as his weapon. “What are you doing here?”

“Looking for you.”

“What do you want Yitian for?” Wanwan disguised her small step to position Gu Yitian behind her.

“His name is Nameless,” informed Gu Yitian, stopping Wanwan.

“You’re the undefeated Nameless Swordsman who has been missing for so long?” Ximen Buxing asked.

“We underestimated you, it seems, Apotheosis Realm Uncle,” commented Wanwan, studying her new prey.

Nameless Swordsman did not bother with Wanwan. “Come with me.”

“Why?” questioned Gu Yitian, not blanketing his desire to fight the swordsman who once coached him.

“You need my sword spirit,” answered Nameless Swordsman.

“I don’t. Also, I will beat you.”

“... Cheng Yan will pick up on traces we left behind given how well he knows us. He’s almost caught us multiple times already.” Xiang Nan heaved out the emotions weighing him down and cracked a smile. “Cheng Yan is still the most mature amongst us.”

“Has Mu Yu ascended to Apotheosis Realm?”

“Not according to those I control. Having said that...” There was no need to explicate for both of them were aware of Mu Yu’s streak of achieving what they would otherwise deem impossible – usually via equally unthinkable means. “Has Mu Yu gained control over bloodlust energy since the last time you were with him at Eastern Desert City?”

“No. He’s chosen a different path to us. He’ll turn bloodlust into life when he comes full circle. He knows what he wants.”

“Cheng Yan doesn’t know what we want.”

“He does... but he prefers we understand what Shifu wants.”

Xiang Nan’s voice reverted back to his steeled-veteran tone. “We don’t want what Shifu wants, nevertheless. This world hasn’t been kind to him despite him trying to protect it. Such a world doesn’t need to exist. How ironic that the final boss isn’t Third Heaven Palace but our brothers.”

“Regardless, we’re charging down the same path... We will forge a better world.”
