　　"Are you sure about this?" Inside the abbey, the young boy asked the lean man standing in front of him.

　　"I'm tired of waiting." The man clasped his bag and extinguished his cigarette.

　　"Is it really him?" The young boy's attention s.h.i.+fted from the man to the bag.

　　"It doesn't matter. He can't die right now…" The man said anxiously as he threw the cigarette b.u.t.t into a plastic bottle.

　　"You want me to watch over him?"

　　"Aunt Wu's doing that."

　　"Aunt Wu… Are you sure? We won't have a second chance. If we fail, then for the last thousand years…"

　　"I know. That's why I've come to you…"

　　"Fine. I owe you my life. Tell me, what do you need me for?" The young boy adjusted his collar.

　　"I need you to go to the mountains…"

　　"The mountains? There?"

　　"Yes. I need you to go have a look at that rock…" The man turned around and left.

　　"Are you here for him?" Aunt Wu turned around and asked with a frown, not intimidated slightest by Li Huaibei.

　　"No, I'm here for you." Li Huaibei took a deep breath and bowed down once again.

　　"For me? What for?" Aunt Wu pursed her lips nonchalantly.

　　"Please, take me under your apprentices.h.i.+p!." Li Huaibei said and suddenly knelt down on all fours.

　　'What… the h.e.l.l?' Li Yiming jumped out of the way. 'What? Li Huaibei asking her to be his master?'

　　"You haven't changed. You're a sage, and you're going to kneel down just like that? When did I ever say I would accept you as my disciple?" Aunt Wu said.

　　"You deserve all of my wors.h.i.+p." Li Huaibei said in a serious tone and bent down once again.

　　"Alright, I understand." Aunt Wu waved her hand, and Li Huaibei was lifted up against his will.

　　"You, you told me that I could come to find you once I've made up my mind…"

　　"So you've settled?"

　　"Yes…" Li Huaibei nodded.

　　"Unfortunately, I've already found a pupil. You know I won't take two students at the same time." Aunt Wu clapped her hands and said.

　　"You've found a pupil?" Li Huaibei was surprised.

　　Aunt Wu shrugged her shoulders.

　　"My apologies, I've been too rash…" Li Huaibei sighed in disappointment. "May I ask who that is?"

　　"Him." Aunt Wu raised her plump arm and pointed at Li Yiming.

　　"Wh-" Li Yiming looked back, hoping to see someone behind him.
