"Lu family, I didn't find you, but you came to me instead!"
Fade snorted, with a cold look in his eyes.
"Master, are you alright?"
At some point, Yunita creeped up on him and whispered to him.
He then restrained his killing intent, smiled at her, and reassured her, "I'm fine. Have you rested well?"
"Yes!" She nodded and glanced at him, as if she wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought.
Seeing this, he asked, "What is it? Do you have something to say to me?"
"Master, l-l have a request!” She mustered her courage and looked up at him.
He asked with a smile, "What is it? Just say it!"
She took a deep breath and looked into his eyes. She said, "Master, I-1 would like you to accompany me up the mountain."
"Up the mountain? Why?” Fade was a little confused. "Did what happened before scare you?"
Yunita shook her head and said, "Master, I want to go up the mountain to pay homage to my family."
"Pay homage to your family! Why do you want to do that at this time?" He felt a little surprised.
She softly explained, "Master, when I met those two men just now, I really thought that I was going to die. At that time, I was prepared to go and see my ancestors."
"However, Master, you appeared in time and saved me."
"I would like you to go with me to my family's graves and tell them that you are my savior and my master. I will follow you in the future."
Hearing her last words, he was slightly surprised. His mouth moved and he wanted to say something.
However, Yunita spoke first, "Master, I know you are definitely not an ordinary person. It's my fortune to learn martial arts from you. Originally, I shouldn't have asked to follow you."
"But Master, you have saved me several times. I don't have any other relatives now. You are my family, so I want to follow you forever."
Fade's heart trembled. According to his plan, he would teach her for a period of time so that she would get on the right track in martial arts, and then he would leave.
After all, his main goal was to find a way to regain his strength and go find Quin and the others in Green Wood Hall.
This process was certainly not peaceful. If he brought Yunita with him, he would only encounter more dangers.
However, before he could say anything, she already knew.
"Yunita, it's not a good thing to follow me! When the time comes, the dangers you'll face may be ten, a hundred, or even a thousand times that of today. I'm worried that..."
Before he could finish, she stated firmly, "Master, you saved my life. My life is yours. No matter how dangerous it is, I'm not afraid of it.”
"If you think that I'm not qualified to be your disciple, then I will be your maid, to wash your clothes, cook for you, give you massages. As long as I can follow you, I will be satisfied."
Fade was a little hesitant, but he couldn't bear to refuse the sincere girl. He nodded and said, "Well, I agree to your request. You don't have to be my maid. You can continue to be my disciple."
"Thank you, master!" Yunita smiled with excitement.
He caressed her head and said with a smile, "When do you want to go up the mountain?"
She said, "Tomorrow!"
"Okay. Rest well today!" He said.
The next day, he bought some sacrificial items and went up the mountain with Yunita.
Both of them were very fast. An hour later,
they arrived at their destination.
This was a flat ground located halfway up the mountain. The surrounding trees were lush. A stream could be seen flowing down below. Insects, birds, and birds were chirping. The surroundings were very quiet.
Under the shade of the bushes, three small mounds of earth could be seen.
After removing the weeds, the tombstones in front of the mound were revealed.
The names of Yunita's grandfather, her father, and her mother were engraved on the weather-beaten tombstone.
The usually strong and optimistic girl's face suddenly darkened at this moment.
Fade stepped forward and patted Yunita's shoulder lightly, giving her a comforting look.
Later, both of them offered sacrifices to the three deceased relatives.
