"Disciple Recruiting event? So, what is that exactly?" (YX)
"It is a big event that happens every five years! At that day, many clans and sects representatives will arrive at Firehowl city and set up an assessment altar, which like it's name, will assess the talent of the candidate.
Depends on the examinee's talent, the clans or sects representatives will invite him/her to join their power. Well, that's all I know about it, I never participate in it and no one I asked about knew more about it. But I will definitely join this year and enter a famous sect!" (LH)
The determination was evident in Lu Hao's eyes, his hand clenched tightly in front of his chest. Yan Xiu initially didn't feel any desire about wanting to enter the sect or clan, but he then remembered about the pair of azure eyes of yesterday.
'Power and knowledge, I need them!' Yan Xiu knew he needed power in order to searched for his parents. That was one of the reason why he wanted to became a hunter. But, when he saw the pair of azure eyes from yesterday, he knew just power wasn't enough. He also needed knowledge.
If he had knowledge about seals and barriers, he would be able to searched the barriers on his house and maybe found some clue about his parent on it. Lu Hao saw Yan Xiu zoned out with a serious expression.
"What wrong, little Xiu?" (LH)
"Hm? Ah, it's nothing. By the way, what did you do in the city yesterday?" (YX)
"Ah, I just accompanied my father to sold meats and demon beasts parts." (LH)
"I see. Oh yeah, you did say you want to participate the Disciple Recruiting day and joined a sect, but will your father allow you?" (YX)

"Haha, it won't be a problem. He will definitely let me participate." (LH)
"Oh? But didn't uncle want you to inherit the store?" (YX)
"Well, let's just say there will be someone else that will inherit the store~" (LH)
"Huh? But aren't you a single child? Then.. Oh." (YX)
"Don't tell anybody yet, okay?" (LH)
Lu Hao was smiling when he said that, he was happy that he would be having a sibling. They've only found out about this on the evening of day before yesterday. When his mother suddenly throws up, his father was worried and brought her to granny Shen.
When granny Shen examined Xiao ShanShan, she found out that Xiao ShanShan was pregnant, she was about a month along. They were overjoyed, they never thought they would have another child at this age.
"Congratulations!" (YX)
"Thanks. My father said that heaven took a pity on him and gave him another child to continue his store, isn't that rude?" (LH)
"Hahaha, well at least, now you're not being forced to inherit the store anymore." (YX)
"Yeah. Hey, why are you here anyway?" (LH)
"Ah, I almost forgot. I want to take the pork I left here yesterday. Can you wrap it up?" (YX)
"Sure thing, just wait here." (LH)
"Hey, is uncle and auntie home? I want to greet and congratulate them." (YX)
"Ah, just do it later. My father still sleeping from unpacking things until morning and mother still asleep too." (LH)
"Oh, okay then." (YX)
Lu Hao went inside and came back carrying pork meat wrapped in paper.
"Damn, that's heavy. How're you gonna carry it?" (LH)
"Easy." (YX)
Yan Xiu took the meat and tied it to Bai Yuan's back.
"Huh, that's convenient." (LH)

"Isn't it? Well, I'll be going now. Thanks, Lu Hao. Say hello to uncle and auntie for me." (YX)
"I will, see ya." (LH)
Lu Hao waved at Yan Xiu before turning and went to train, he need to improve his strength for the Disciple Recruiting day.
Yan Xiu didn't went straight home, he went to granny Shen's house for lunch. When he reached there, he went down from Bai Yuan and knocked the door before coming in with Bai Yuan. Granny Shen voice rang out from the kitchen.
"Little Xiu? Just sit down first, lunch will be done in a moment." (GS)
"Okay~" (YX)
Yan Xiu took down the meat on Bai Yuan's back and sat down on one of the chair, Bai Yuan sat down on the floor as he was too heavy for the chair.
There was a gentle smell of medicine and herbs coming from the kitchen, it was not the usual bitter smelling medicine or herbs, it was refreshing smell. Bai Yuan also smelled it and waited on anticipation, ever since he followed the human child, he could eat something tasty that he never eaten before. He was truly happy.
Not long after, granny Shen came out of the kitchen. The first time she brought a big pot containing porridge, the second time she brought a bowl of peeled boiled eggs and stir-fried vegetable.
"Here you go, granny's speciality. Medicinal Chicken porridge with a side of soft-boiled eggs and stir-fried medicinal herbs. Now, don't be shy and eat up!" (GS)
Granny Shen scooped out some porridge to a bowl and gave Yan Xiu and Bai Yuan a bowl each. Yan Xiu took a whiff of the porridge, the gentle smell make him relaxed and refreshed his body. He took a spoon and ate a spoonful of the porridge.
It wasn't bitter, the taste of the chicken blended well with the medicinal herbs. It has gentle taste like it's smell but not bland. The soft-boiled egg gave the porridge more viscosity and deeper taste when added and the stir-fried gave it a nice saltiness and texture.
"I figured the training must have drained you, this meal will refresh and energize your body. Granny made a lot, so don't hold back, okay?" (GS)
"I will, second please!" (YX)
"Uho! (More!)" (BY)
Just like that, Yan Xiu and Bai Yuan ate the porridge and side dishes clean. Yan Xiu felt his body warmed up and his weariness flushed away by the warmth.
"Granny Shen, thank you for the meal!" (YX)
"Uhouho! (Thank you!)" (BY)
"Your welcome, walk home safe, okay?" (GS)
"Yes~ bye bye!" (YX)
"Bye bye." (GS)
Yan Xiu and Bai Yuan left granny Shen's house with their belly filled and warmed. When they reached home, Bai Yuan placed the pork on the ice box. Yan Xiu took a bath and changed his clothes before coming back to the kitchen. He was going to made something for the hunt day after tomorrow, Sausages!

Tide was one of those individuals and sadly failed to survive. Instead of dying he was just brought back into the main event when everyone else began.
