When Su Lin reaches the main gate, he can see an old man who is waiting for someone. When this old man sees Su Lin, he gives a kind smile toward Su Lin. This old man is none other than Uncle Hong. When Su Lin saw his uncle, he quickly forgot all his past thoughts, gave a smile, and moved forward in his uncle's direction.
"Hmmm, let me guess you do your best, and make your paper as perfect as you can," after hearing his uncle's words. Su Lin can understand what Uncle Hong means. When someone only wants you to live happily, they don't care what you do in your life.
At room Su Lin was sharing the day with his uncle about the imperial exam. "Uncle, when I write about heaven, I can only able to write a few lines, and when I start writing my poetry, at first I can't think of anything who can make anyone heart feel with confusion, but then I write about mountains and the sea, and I finish my paper with a question can evil exist without good, or are they inseparable?"
When Uncle Hong saw the light in Su Lin's eyes, his heart filled with emotion. It was the first time he had seen Su Lin so happy. From the day Uncle Hong met Su Lin, he knew Su Lin faced many hardships. From that day onward, he always tried to make Su Lin happy and also tried his best to help Su Lin forget his past.
"Ok, ok, you say enough now, it's time to eat our meal and drink some wine just to remember this day," saying so, Uncle Hong and Su Lin started eating their meal. When they both finished their meal, Su Lin suddenly asked Uncle Hong about going outside for a while. After hearing this, Uncle Hong smiled at Su Lin and handed him over seven pieces of copper.
"Make a good use of them".
In the capital market, there are many types of shops,in which you can able to see many things some have food items, or some shops do iron and wooden work, at on particular point Su lin also see a auction house. Su Lin was very excited seeing there arts and culture. He stopped at many shops and watched his surroundings. When any shopkeeper see him, they could tell at a glance. This young boy was a foreigner to this place, and this was his first time seeing those types of items. After all, this was not there first time seeing anyone like this.
When Su Lin gradually reached the end of the street, he was silent in his thoughts. He couldn't understand one thing as rumours say in the capital, he sees an immortal but only once when he enters the city.
When he was pondering his thoughts, he heard a voice from his back. This voice was gentle but also domineering.
"Young man, I think you lost your way."
When Su Lin looked behind his back, he could see an old man in his one hand, there was a wooden stick to balance his ancient figure, and other behind his back.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not lost, senior."
"Oh, then it's my misunderstanding, junior. And if you don't mind, what is your name?"
After hearing this, Su Lin was looking at this old figure from top to bottom, when he was ensures that this old man had no bad intentions towards him. He bowed his head and told him in a respectful voice.
"Junior pays his respects to senior. My name is Su Lin, and I am new in the capital. Before, Junior just wanted to see the capital, which is why you misunderstood me." After hearing Su Lin's words, the old man smiled and said to Su Lin.
"It's OK. I see many people like you in the capital probably, you came here to attend the imperial exam. By the way, Su Lin I did not introduce myself. My name is Feng Yin, and I run a shop nearby." After hearing the old man's words, Su Lin give a soft smile and offered his final greetings to the old man, and tried to move in his direction. Then suddenly, he thought of something and said in a polite way.
"Senior, can you give this junior a favour? Can I join you on your way?"
After hearing this, the old man give a meaningful look to Su lin and then moved toward to his shop's direction. "Come, in so many years, you are the first person who asked me this kind of thing. I know, as a scholar, you need to gain an understanding of many things and build experience to achieve your goals. Now you are trying to understand me-what a fate".
After hearing this, Su Lin started to follow him and gradually left the street. Right now, they are sharing their experiences regarding their lifestyles and ways. After few exchanges with each other, Su Lin has some estimates towards this old man. Unlike his Uncle Hong, this old man was an outstanding individual because, in his early years, he held a minister position in the capital and he was also second in power after the prime minister. Everyone called him Master Yin, but after experiencing many things, he left everything from his past behind and started his family business again.
"Master Yin, I was very greatful to you. After hearing your story, I have a much deeper understanding of some matters".After some time su lin left master yin shop and heading towards his inn.
"What did you think about this child". On a old wooden chair master yin was drinking his tea and say in a cold voice.
"Its ok this boy also have some potential for that purpose but don't forget there is only one place and you already choose seven and here its the eight what are you planning Feng yin". A sharp voice which can penetrate anything came from behind master yin, if anyone hear this voice they can tell at a glance that the owner of this voice kill countless beings in his lifetime. When master yin move his head to see the figure, there was only a black shadow after taking a glace that black shadow step forward and disappear in void.
After hearing this master yin look at the sky and muttered in a low voice. "Just don't know his own place and dear to order me".
At inn su lin is eating his meal with his uncle and talking about his today encounter with master yin. " Su lin i know you are curious about many things but don't forget the results will place in two days. So ready for that". After reminding su lin uncle hong leave the inn for a walk.
After Su lin finish his meal he goes for sleep on inn bed. When he lay down on bed and looking at roof he thought about many thing. when he was just a child su lin and his mother lived alone in a small wooden house near a small village at a corner of a river, he don't remember many thing about his past but one thing he clearly remember that when he was around four years old his mother give him to a couple and say to him that she was come back but for Su lin she never come back after some time that couple sold su lin in a slave market and after many encounters Su lin meet uncle hong.
At first Su lin was always indifferent towards uncle hong because in every kids heart they holds kindness and purity but they was mercilessly killed by other peoples but slowly and gradually after many attempts uncle hong bring back that kindness and purity within su lin, from that onwards uncle hong give his name Su lin.
"Thank you uncle hong to come in my life, when i pass the Imperial exam i will make your every dream come true if you what to see my childrens that let it be happen than". After thinking about his uncle su lin fall in a deep sleep.
At a wine shop a old man was drinking a cup of wine alone, it was non other than Uncle hong. After finishing his business he left the wine shop and right now walking at a silent road, right now if anyone want to see there surroundings they can only rely on moon light.
After a few moments pass when Uncle Hong gradually comes close to the inn, he hears a voice from behind his back. This voice was filled with an ancient aura, but when Uncle Hong moves to see where it came from, he only sees an old man. In his one hand, there is a wooden stick to balance his ancient figure, and in his eyes, anyone can see a deep, profound intelligence.
"Brother, I think you lost your way." This voice came from none other than Master Yin, or you can also call him Feng Yin.
Note: hello readers i know you can mistaken about master yin or feng yin names they are one person but after few chapters i will change it to feng yin but don't say me to change it right now because there is a reason why i write this character in this way.
