Chapter 0333 – Each Seeks His Own Place – Absolute Return

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

"There you are, Grand Duke, put your things, down."

I, of course, couldn’t, stand by and say, "My suitcase, weighs more than his, how, can you be biased?"

Brother, explained, "Master Guo, tell me that you’ve been working hard for a long time to build the gloves."

"It’s what I should have done, I brought the gloves, today."

Jian Wu Yang, opened the box, revealing the boxing gloves inside.

Qian Su Xi, hadn’t said a word, she just, bowed her head, and saluted me, then, walked to my side, and whispered, "It’s great that you’re back safe and sound."

"In private, call me Elder Brother." I said.

Qian Su Xi, looked at Fist Demon and her brother, then, exclaimed, "Master, Senior Brother, it’s really great, I’m relieved to have Senior Brother here."

The Fist Demon, looked at me and said, "If you, are too nice to her, she will have a short life."

"That won’t do, I don’t like her anymore, senior sister, the jianghu is dangerous, you have to be careful."

The disciples around me, all laughed, they all knew, my character, so the atmosphere, was relaxed.

Fist Devil, picking up a pair of gloves, scrutinizes them, looking them over.

"They put a layer, a fine iron mesh, in the gloves." Fist Devil said.

"That’s right, it’s both lightweight and strong, this is the blacksmith store, the latest technology." Jian Wuyang said.

The Fist Demon, handing the gloves, to Chisu Xi, said, "Try it."

Chansuhee, putting on the gloves, tried them on and said, "On the hands, it’s very comfortable."

She had one of the, Iron Fist disciples, bring a sword.

"With all your might, slash!"

The Iron Fist disciple, swung his sword, and slashed at Qian Su Xi, who, with her palm, blocked the sword.

The sword, slashing at the gloves, did not, however, leave any marks.

The surrounding, Black Fist disciples, all let out, sounds of admiration.

Fist Demon, nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad, hard work." Fist Demon said.

"Right now, there are only fifty pairs, but in a few months, we will, equip all the East Fist Sect disciples, with, gloves." Jian Wuyang said.

"Thanks to you, bother, thanks." Fist Demon said.

The Fist Demon, was genuinely, thanking Jian Wu Yang, Jian Wu Yang,’s face, revealed, a pleased smile, his efforts, had finally, been rewarded.

Chansuhee, distributed the gloves, to the, Black Fist disciples, while the three of us, took a walk, in the yard.

Fist Demon, and Jian Wu Yang, chatted a lot, they talked about, the making of gloves, and also, the East Fist Sect, what kind of help they needed, they chatted about, all of them, working things.

I silently, followed them, I suddenly realized that my brother, is really suitable, to do these things, he does things, seriously and carefully, meticulous, which is exactly what I, lack.

As we said our goodbyes, Fist Demon, using a voice transmission, said to me:

"Welcome back."

"I’ll see you in a few days, again."

Master, the concern for me is contained in these four short words, which make me feel warmer than any fancy rhetoric.

I walked to the door and said to Jian Wuyang, "I’m hungry, let’s go eat together."

"When have we ever, ever eaten together?" Jian Wuyang said.

"I went to Seville this time, and missed, father, and brother." I said.

Jian Wuyang, after a moment of silence, said, "Let’s find a time to accompany father, together, for dinner."

I knew that he understood, my words, and that he was willing, with me, to care for his father.

"This meal is on you." I said.

"I’m not going to invite, you’re so rich, you invite." Jian Wuyang said.

Brother, it’s really gotten better.

But I can’t, take it lightly, because, the easiest time to, have problems in human relationships, is, when they are just starting to, improve, so I have to, be more careful, more cautious.

I looked at my brother,’s back, then, turned around, and headed, in the other direction, I’m going, to the Southern Sword Sect.

The Blood Heavenly Sword Demon, being in his quarters.

"Master, I’m back."

"What are you doing here instead of resting?"

"Coming to see you is the best rest, are you organizing your books?"

He was in the process of replacing the bookshelves of poetry and picture books with martial arts secrets.

"These are, when I was young, secret books I’ve read, and I want Daeron, to read them as well."

"Everyone, they all care, about their apprentice."

I was going to say, that the Windy Sky Sect Master, also cares, for his disciples, but.

"Are you saying that the Fist Demon, too, cares about me?"

"If he, doesn’t hit you, you’ll, thank God." The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said.

"I’ll help you, organize it." I said.

"No need, I’ve already, sorted it out." The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said.

I crouched on the ground, looking through, the books, that the Blood Sky Blade Demon, had put together.

"You’ve bought a lot more, new books, can I borrow them?" I asked.

"Do you have time, to read?" Blood Heavenly Blade Demon asked.

"Even if you don’t have time, make time, make time, come read a book." I said.

I was flipping through the books, and the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon, while organizing the bookshelves, asked, "Are they in league with, the Martial Arts Alliance’s, that guy?"

He’s referring to, the last time we, at the Martial Arts League, captured, Bo Qianjing.

"Yes, they are, supposedly, accomplices." I said.

"The Jianghu, truly, an eventful year." Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said.

He didn’t ask any more questions, about those people, as he picked a couple of books, off the shelf, and handed them to me, saying, "After you’ve read them, come back, and borrow the others."

"Okay, I’ll see you in a few days, again." I said.

I took the book that the Blood Sky Blade Demon, lent me, and returned, to my place.

Akira, is at the door, waiting for me, and he hands me, a bottle of wine.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Here it is, a gift for you." Akira said.

"Gifts?" I asked.

"We, while we were buying wine for the Drunken Devil, also bought a bottle for you, as well." Akira said.

That bottle of wine, was one of the more expensive of the gifts that the Drunken Devil, received, and it seems that the guards, secretly, bought me, a gift as well.

"You guys, where did you get the money?" I asked.

"Don’t forget, we are, the Heavenly Demon Sect’s young master’s, personal guards, our salaries, are very high." Chilian, said mockingly.

He knew that they, didn’t, really, protect me, they, instead, needed my, protection.

"Thank you for the gifts, I will cherish them." I said.

"We, then, will take our leave." Akira said.

Chibi, after I left, I took a shower and changed my clothes.

Instead of, blowing out the candles, lying in bed, and going to sleep, I, with a book and a glass of wine.

Cast, Time Illusion.

I came to my fantasy world, where there is a blue sea, a white sandy beach, a blue sky, and a dense forest, where there is a cozy lounge chair.

"I missed you guys!"

I’m lying in a recliner.

"Aww, that’s so cozy."

I like, this place too much, Sect Leader Windy Sky, once said, those who practice illusion, should be wary, of indulging in illusions, but I am, unable to resist, the lure of this place.

I’ve been through, a lot, and I’m realizing more and more how important it is to have, a space of your own, to have, a time of your own.

Here, I can, forget all my worries, and quietly, enjoy, the, serenity that is mine.

Today, my haven, one more thing.

I put one, a small recliner, next to my recliner.

Then I put the secret cabinet, on, the little recliner.

"Well? Do you like it here?" I asked.

The secret cabinet, looking at me, with a, happy smile on his face.

I lie on a chaise lounge, drinking wine, looking at the book, ears, only the sound of the waves, the seagull’s cries, and, the sound of turning the pages of the book, even if I were given, the whole martial arts, I would not give up, this moment of tranquility.

My first day back in the Heavenly Devil Sect passed.
