Chapter 4: What's truly Sacred(pt. 1)
"Good morning Aunt Xiu, before I fell majorly ill I was having light headaches and was getting increasingly forgetful. I thought it might have been from eating too much herbs so I attempted to cultivate without guidance and sustained injures causing me to be asleep for a week.
Thankfully I am awake and feeling better although still I am a bit sore for sleeping for a such long time. I apologize for not informing you I didn't know you cared so much for me if this happens again I will tell you as soon as I wake up." Replied Shen Yue changing his tone to contain a hidden warmth to it instead of the usual pure coldness.
Although he tried to simplify his words, Shen Yue knew he was teetering the limits between the original Shen Yue and himself. It was why it took longer then usual to respond but by Shen Xiu's relaxed muscles,posture and non furrowed brows, along with her lips having a bit of a relived smile to it; he figured he was in clear waters.
Although he wanted to train, currently he needed information on his clan members and his potential enemies&allies this was Shen Yue's chance to integrate himself into the clan's political system.
Pursing her lips Shen Xiu responded. "Don't do something like that again! Without guidance you could have died there."
Shen Xiu then quickly put her palm onto Shen Yue's right shoulder, running her Qi briefly through his body before removing the palm. "Luckily there were no injuries but your meridians seem slightly tempered still don't do something that dumb again it's not usually like you." She said sighing in aspiration upon taking a look at the books Shen Yue arranged into a neat pile.
"Make sure you return those soon and although you can't cultivate your spirit you could still practice martial arts. There are some martial arts that do not require cultivation that could give you an edge over others and considering what seems a new found will to improve I can talk with some of the elders today into getting you martial arts guidance." Shen Xiu said hurriedly remembering fondly her first formal martial arts lessons.
Although she was considered talented in school she was never called a genius, but she saw Shen Yue fight a few times and noticed his talent for martial arts. It was like instinct to him the way he moved his body and his talent of spatial awareness was simply wondrous.
Sadly he did not get formal instruction due to the clan's desire to not have any internal conflict, but after this unexpected situation she thought that he could use something to take his mind of cultivating before he did something truly irreversible.
"What kind of martial art's will I be learning Aunt Xiu? Recently I have been taking a liking to the bow and hidden weapons. Can I come with you to the meeting this time? I usually never show but sleeping for a week made me realize some things." Said Shen Yue with a small grin; as he spotted a chance to not only show some minor changes in terms of his personality, but also a chance to learn more of how his clan handles things.
He made sure to keep a tint of desire and ambition when saying those word's, after all it was better to show some ambition then none it would be more suspicious if he did not crave some power after what he went through.
Although they might not notice the little thing's it made all the difference especially when someone might investigate him or ask question's about his behavior and future decisions.
"Sure but since you don't usually go to these meetings be prepared, are you sure you understand what this means? If you don't understand let me say it clearly for you. If you attend the meaning you are saying that from now on you are participating in clan politics and you will be showing your ambition for power and status then you already have."Snapped back Shen Xiu
Shen Yue the proceeded to reply with a voice full of determination and a cold ruthlessness that was with the original and current Shen Yue since birth.
"What is a man without ambition? Although I might be young, If I don't start now when will I?"
As he spoke an Aura of Yin projected from him as if something was awakened but it was only for a brief moment but did not go past Shen Xiu's watchful eye.
"Very well then. Since you know the consequences and accept them quit well, I will take you to the meetings from now on.
But for now only observe me carefully and if someone ask's you a question or call on your name you must answer; furthermore, if Shen Fei try's to start a fight just do not respond otherwise you can be punished for disrespect." Said Shen Xiu with a hint of pride in her eyes.
"Understood." Said Shen Yue as he brought himself up into a standing position. Shen Xiu left the room as Shen Yue exited the room closing the door before he followed her to the clan meeting area.
Shen Xiu went towards the clothing store in the compound, Shen Yue took her hand when they arrived at the back of the store.
He kept a good grip as Shen Xiu proceeded to open a secret passage in-order to not get lost in the darkness.
It seem's like his spirit eye's have yet to be opened but that should be resolved sooner or later so he put no worry into those thoughts.
Arriving at a hallway with brightly lit with torches, Shen Yue let go of the hand and just followed behind Shen Xiu going through a few twist and turns before finally arriving at the door. It was a huge metal door with carvings of dragons and sacred family inscriptions on the door.
Shen Xiu opened the gate with both hands and confidently walked in with Shen Yue following after.
"We are here." She said in the semi-lit darkness her face was stern and she looked at Shen Yue.
"Remember what you said." She said before walking away into the meeting hall to her seat while Shen Yue stood besides her seat gazing at the other empty thrones.
