Fade brought Yunita back to the hunter's cabin. It was getting dark.
It was getting late, so he didn't leave. He meditated in the cabin for the night.
Early the next morning, as soon as he opened his eyes, Yunita enthusiastically brought him a towel and a bowl of hot water. "Brother Chen, wash your face. This water is freshly boiled.”
He took the towel and washed his face. Then, she took the initiative to bring hot food. "Brother Chen, eat."
Looking at her expectant eyes, how could he not see through the girl's thoughts? Thus, he asked directly, "Yunita, do you have something to say to me?"
She lowered her head and stuttered for a while, feeling a little awkward. "Brother Chen, l-L."
Taking a deep breath, she finally gathered her courage, looked up at him, and asked, "Brother Chen, are you going down the mountain?"
He paused and said with a nod, "Well, I've finished my work. I'm going down the mountain today."
Hearing this, Yunita's eyes flashed with a trace of loss, and then she said, "If that's the case, Brother Chen, can you bring me down the mountain with you?"
"Yunita, you want to go down the mountain too? Then, I will take you with me, and you can relax," Fade stated.
She shook her head and said, "Brother Chen, that's not what I meant. I mean, I don't want to stay here as a hunter anymore. I want to follow you, Brother Chen.”
"Follow me?" He was shocked.
She quickly nodded and said, "Brother Chen, Grandpa and Dad are all gone, and there are more vicious beasts on the mountain. It's very difficult for me to stay here alone."
"Brother Chen, you're so good at martial arts. I want to learn martial arts from you."
"Learn martial arts from me!" He was somewhat surprised.
She knelt directly in front of him and kowtowed, "Brother Chen, please accept me as your disciple."
"This..." He was a little hesitant.
It wasn't that he didn't want to have her as a follower, but in his current situation, he probably didn't have much time to teach his disciples, and he might leave at any time.
Yunita didn't know Fade's thoughts. Seeing that he was hesitant, she thought that he was unwilling. Thus, she kowtowed several times in succession and begged, "Brother Chen, I really want to learn martial arts. I want to become stronger and protect myself and the people around me."
"I don't want to feel helpless as I watch my father being taken away. I don't want Grandpa to enter the forest and die in the mouth of vicious beasts. I..."
Looking at the determined girl, his heart softened. He helped her up and said, "Quickly get up!"
"Brother Chen, have you agreed?" She looked at him expectantly.
He nodded and said, "I can teach you, but I have to make it clear that I may not stay here for a long time and might have to leave at any time. When that time comes..."
"Then, I'll leave with you, Master. Wherever you go, I'll go!" She quickly replied.
"You have already called me your master. You..." Fade smiled and stopped explaining. He patted Yunita's head and said with a smile, "Well, let's go eat. After that, we will pack up and go down the mountain together."
"Yes, Master!" Her face was full of excitement.
After breakfast, they took all the useful things in the cabin and went down the mountain together.
Arriving at the county, he rented a small house with a courtyard for them to stay.
Then, it was time to tidy up the courtyard and prepare all kinds of daily necessities.
Fortunately, Yunita was familiar with these things and did everything neatly.
Fade mixed a few herbs and specially selected a few cultivation methods and martial arts techniques suitable for her cultivation. He was quite diligent.
