Incomplete Chapter XXI

The next day, all three went to see each other at the back porch. Each greeted the day with a different emotion. Somad was tense and anxious from the sudden great responsibility on his shoulder. Mingliang as always hid his concern well under his laidback disposition. While Sari was in high spirit, still indulged in her new experience in cultivating the qi.

Mingliang found her, punching and kicking on the backyard. He could induce Qi within each movement.

He must admit, that Sari had a talent in practicing a martial art. He looked around and found Somad, sitting on the bench with his eyes wandered. Mingliang didn't try to console him. He watched Sari and Somad for a while, then went to the kitchen to prepare a simple breakfast for them all.

About an hour later, they were having breakfast together. After that, Mingliang didn't wait for Jim and Anton, he and Sari left with her car, to get his belongings from his rented room, while Somad waited for Jim and Anton alone.

Nothing important was happening that day, until about lunchtime, when Jim and Anton came to visit.

Mingliang and Sari already returned and kept all Mingliang's important belonging in one of the room. They packed them inside one big old leather suitcase.

Mingliang, Sari, and Somad were going to have lunch when Jim and Anton came.

"Look, my luck is always good. In my previous life, I must have been a good person.", Anton laughed and greeted everyone warmly. Without any hesitation, he picked a position on the bench and took an empty plate. Eager to wait for his turn to scoop the rice.

Jim sat next to him, but he paid no attention to all the food served on the table. After shortly greeted Sari and Somad, his attention turned to Mingliang, without any greeting, he jumped directly to the point, "So, what's your answer?"

Mingliang knew he would ask, and he already had the answer prepared, "Yes and no. I agree to lead the unit, but I don't personally teach them. Somad is my only true disciple. He will be the one who'll teach them all they need to know."

"Somad !?", Anton stared the boy in disbelief.

Jim said nothing, but he was taken aback too, it showed on his expression, "Are you sure about this?"

Mingliang nodded without any hesitation, "Yes, six months isn't enough for them to learn anything advanced and Somad already knew all the basics. Don't worry, I'll check on their progress from time to time. I might personally teach a skill or two when I see fit."
