Ah Chun - Volume 1 Chapter 268 Xia Yang

After a busy day, Ah Chun headed back to her courtyard. Ah Chun was not worried about anyone following her due to Xu Wei’s presence. It was not until she reached her courtyard and saw a tall figure standing there that her face sank a little. The Sect Master was standing in her courtyard waiting for her return.

“May this disciple ask what brings the Sect Master to my courtyard?” Ah Chun looked up at the Sect Master with a childish grin.

“You can stop your act in front of me. I know you are not mentally the age you make yourself out to be. Although your bones say different that does not mean your soul is the same age as your body.” Waving his hand he quickly stopped Ah Chun’s childlike act.

Ah Chun was a bit stunned at the Sect Master’s words since she had never mentioned it to him. She could only think of Elder Dan as the one who told him. As if reading her mind the Sect Master interrupted her thoughts and said: “It was not Elder Dan either. She did not speak a word of it. When I laid eyes on you today I peered into your soul realm. All souls have their own color. As a person ages, so do their souls. The older they are the deeper the color of the soul. Your soul is a deep golden color. A very rare color at that. For a seven year old child, it would be impossible to have such a deep color. That deep of a golden color is only possible after at least ten thousand years. Now I want to ask, did you steal this body?” The Sect Master’s eyes grew cold and strong killing intent rushed out of his body and slammed into Ah Chun.

Of course, Ah Chun was not fazed by this killing intent. She only smiled at the Sect Master as she answered: “It is true that my soul is well over eleven thousand years old. But I did not steal this body. Well, it’s more like I resurrected this body. One thing I should state before I say more is that this body is indeed mine whether my soul entered it or not.” Ah Chun paused and gestured with her hand. “Come, let’s sit. It’s a bit of a long story.”

The Sect Master retracted his killing intent and nodded before following Ah Chun into the main room of her courtyard and taking a seat. Ah Chun sat down herself before she started to explain. She told the Sect Master about her otherworld the way the cultivation systems worked and how she had had her soul scattered and going back in time. She then told the Sect Master about her second life on how she was rushing to search for her mother that had been captured but when she was trying to gain assistance from a soul fragment, she was tricked and entered a realm guarded by the Creators. Instead of sentencing her to death for trespassing on forbidden land, her soul was sent to this realm, world, or dimension, she was not sure what this world was but the current body she was in was the her of this world. She explained how certain things were very much the same while different at the same time.

The Sect Master sat quietly not saying a word as Ah Chun told her story. The whole process took almost three days and nights. During this time Elder Dan even stopped by but did not interrupt the two’s conversation. When Ah Chun finished her story, The Sect Master got lost in thought. To live three lives is truly a mystical thing that only the heavens could allow. That would mean that this girl has a path that is predestined. A path that she will be forced to walk on no matter how many times she fails.

“It seems I was a bit hasty in my earlier actions. I do apologize. I only acted out of concern for my sect” The Sect Master stood up cupped his hands and bowed to Ah Chun.

“It’s fine. Your actions are normal when you have to think of the safety of the sect over everything else. Just as long as you do not abandon a disciple or elder because of pressure from outside forces. I will never go against your word.” Ah Chun still remembered the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Although she took revenge by killing him, the fact still remains that he had still sold her mother out to the people who wanted to forcefully take her away.

“You have my word, for those who are in my sect, unless that had broken an iron clad rule I will never abandon them. Even if the sect is burnt to the ground I will do my all to protect my disciples.” The Sect Master’s eyes were full of determination. After listening to Ah Chun’s story and what had happened to her mother in her second life. He could not help but be angry and want to go to her old world and resurrect that Sect Master and kill him all over again!

“Sect Master what is your actual name, It seems weird to always call you just Sect Master.” Ah Chun asked.

“Xia Yang!” Xia Yang answered.

“Then Grandpa Yang, Please take good care of me!” Ah Chun teased.

“Humph! I do not want to hear Grandma Chun calling me grandpa when you’re so damn old!” Xia Yang chided.

“You! Did you just call me grandma!?” Ah Chun was stunned as she stared wide eyed at Xia Yang. She never thought she would actually one day be called grandma!
