WEI YING POV:
i heard almost half of the history of my mom about how she formed a core
i couldnt help but sigh internally
i saw yanli come in
she called us for dinner
at the word of dinner uncle's face gotten more bright and i could see stars of happiness surround him
i sighed and took the book i was reading to my room and went to eat dinner
while eating dinner i noticed that both uncle and madam yu is eating less than usual
i couldnt care less
so i continued to eat as i know they are going to do it in the night
after dinner shijie , me and cheng went to the pond and sat down and was talking for a while and then waved good night to each other and came to sleep while i stood up to continue reading
it was few moments after i heard a knock on my room
i opened to see cheng and yanli disheveled and mad about something but i let them in and closed the door . after closing the door both relaxed simultaneously earning a eyebrow raised from me
"wuxiannnnnnnnnnnn..........." cheng whined
"what happened"
"we heard loud noices of 'ahh....ahh....more...ahhh' "cheng complained
yanli said it was mom's voice 'so they are doing it huh? seriously ? the next to yu's room is yanli's room , next to yanli's room is cheng' room . good thing that we have a lake seperating my room with theirs'
i made them sit on the bed 'shit i feel like a old man next to these two kids'
"what are you doing a-xian?"
"reading about forming core shijie"
"wuxian " cheng stood up and pushed me to the bed making me stumble over yanli who caught me steady by grabbing my chest
it was a moment she had her hands over me and took her hands forcefully after steadying me she had pink cheeks but the candle lights covered it perfectly ' what is on my chest that make her cheeks pink?'
i sat on the bed to be punched on my face . i wasnt hard . but i acted as if it hurts by dramatically falling down on the bed earning giggles from yanli
"wei wuxian!!!!!!! listen to me !!!!!!!" cheng almost shouted i gave a groan in response while sitting up
"now , if you want any help in forming core then you should have asked me straight away right ...... forming core is literally simple ....." he said proudly " you need to use your heart , lungs and mind to concentrate it ................(he literally said nonsense)........ and thats how you form a core"
"okay teacher cheng" 'well what nonsense he is spouting?'
"good! this is how you should do it"
"a-xian , what were you reading ?"
"want me to explain shijie?"
"if its okay for you "
"i will shijie"
i took the book and kept it in front of me and started explaining ....... occasionally i looked at the book if i missed any lines ........ i never shuttered in this 'well i am the all-mighty yiling laozu who made many vicious things while explaining every single details to my husband '
i explained almost two pages and then looked at them in disbelief ................. both idiot siblings of mine slept on lying on each other's shoulders while i was teaching ' do i teach that boringly?'
i shrugged it off
i made them both sleep on the bed in lan style and smiled at them and gave them both a forehead kiss and went out of the room and closing it so slowly that no one would be hear it
i then turned around and went to the lotus pond and sat next to it hugging my knees to my body and said
"you can come out"
then the lady in the cloak who gave this chance came to me and sat next to me and said "a-xian , i am pretty sure that you are having trouble with forming core ... is it?"
i nodded
she smiled and put her hand on my head as if she wanted to console me , i moved closer to her "a-xian here" she gave me pill which contained both gold and black in it divided on equal half , i got it and ate the pill . she smiled and said "now you will have both access to spiritual as well as resentful energies dear child , make sure to keep them in balance ....... by balance i mean you should cultivate resentful energy when you are alone ...... you should not be caught while using that , is that okay ? a-xian"
"yes"
"then i will be taking my leave now ...... and good luck"
then she disappeared
so i came to my room
pulled out my chair next to the bed and slept
next morning was a full of commotion
uncle and madam yu were searching their children in their rooms when they both were not in their rooms they were searching until they opened my room's door abruptly waking me in the process
"a-xian where are my children?"
i showed my hands to the bed
they both went to the bed to see them peacefully sleeping
i went out- no i was dragged out by my uncle and was questioned "why are they in your room?"
"uncle..... they said some weird 'ahhh....... ahh.... ' noises came out from madam's room on which shijie conformed that it was madam yu's voice "
madam yu's face became pink and kept her hands on her face
"what were you doing madam yu?" i smirked internally
she felt embarrassed and punched uncle on his chest and ran out
uncle sighed
"well uncle , they are kids ....... if you are doing things .......atleast put some silencing talisman so that they wont be disturbed ....... they both came to my room in a really bad mood ...... so better apologize to them ..... ok uncle?"
"yes"
"then i will get ready and wake them both up uncle" i waved my hands and walked to my room
JIANG FENGMIAN POV:
'a-xian is right i should apologize to them on breakfast'
i turned around
' how come? ' i was in a deep thought 'a-xian is a kid who havent even lived his 1st decade yet spoke with me like an adult and even told the solution for it ?'
my thoughts were cleared when someone called me and gave me a letter
WEI YING POV:
i got ready and dressed up in my inner robes and took a blood pill in for some reason my gut asked me for
i went and shook jie's shoulder gently and cheng's shoulder harshly
they both got up
cheng told me good morning and gave me a hug with drowsiness with hands on my neck and i returned the same . but when he removed his hands in horizontal motion my inner robes opened up and revealed some of my toned chest almost upto my nipples and flat stomach and shoulders were revealed as well
i would have murdered if it was someone else but this kid is my shidi not to mention he is half -asleep now
i sighed and turned to jie . whose face is pink 'seriously ?' . she moved to look away as soon as our eyes met . she tried getting up fast and would have ran away if she hadnt tripped while getting up
she fell right on me with a thud ' good thing the door is closed '
we both fell down on the floor
she had her head on my chest and sat up straight on my stomach and her hands on my chest
then she looked at me down and stood up quickly as ran away with her red face while i was like 'WTF?'
so i stood up fixed my clothes and head to dining room
i saw madam yu's pink face and sat next to her silently and thought ' it would be good to tease aunty '
so i kept my hand on her forehead like an innocent and said "madam yu , do you have a fever ? may i call the doctors?"
she blushed harder
i saw uncle entering the room and saw me questioningly
"uncle , madam yu has fever i think ........ her face is red uncle" i kept my hands at her cheeks " can i call a doctor uncle?"
"i will take her after breakfast a-xian"
"ok uncle " i went to sit on my seat
"jiang fengmian!!!!!!!!" i turned to them shockingly , yu wouldnt call uncle with his name
"yes my lady" he came close to her
"puahhhh......" yu punched uncle square on his face who fell on the floor with a thud .....'dont laugh dont laugh dont laugh.....'
"this is your fault fengmian.... i forbid you to touch me for a month........... hmph" she turned to her left showing her rage and pouted at the same time ' shit dont laugh'
when everyone came they both apologized to their children . that pure cheng of mine he said "dad dont come next to mom again........ maintain gap with her always.... mom from today onwards you are going to sleep with me only " he pouted
but something i noticed weird was yanli who used to sit in middle of us sat next to mom
when she heard cheng speaking she blushed
from that day onwards we have started practicing core formation
the pain i had became a dull ache . so i used to practice spiritual energy on the day and resentful energy on night
cheng formed his core in 3 months while shijie took 3.5 months and i took 4.5 months as i have two cores
shijie was taught sword basics , whip and medicine
while cheng was taught sword , whip , assassination , martial arts
i was taught sword , agility ,assassination 'well medicine is taught by my qing jie'
we had a great time together but i noticed shijie's face becomes red when being with cheng and me
i shrugged it off
until ...........
2months later
when we finished our breakfast and uncle was not there as there was a letter addressing for a meeting
shijie was eating red faced
"is something bothering you a-li?"
