Feng Mei backed a little bit away from Zhao Luo as she was freaked out.

‘What kind of dream was Brother having, that he started asking for water while dreaming and slapping Brother Yan’s mhmm…’

Feng Mei was curious.

She thought that Zhao Luo was a pure person but she was surprised.

“Why did you touch my xxx?”

Yan blurted out without realizing it. 

Even though she acted like this and even slapped the innocent sleeping Zhao Luo, she had mixed feelings in her heart. She couldn’t dent that she enjoyed it, a bit.

Zhao Luo who had just woken up with a burning cheek was faced with extreme reactions from Feng Mei and Yan.

As he heard Yan’s question, his eyes fell on his hand that was reaching out towards Yan’s back.

‘Shit, These hands.’

Zhao Luo cursed and blamed his hands.

Zhao Luo’s face started turning red as Yan’s face was already red. They weren’t alone in the room as Feng Mei who had witnessed the whole ‘Ordeal’ was there too.

Both felt embarrassed.

Zhao Luo wanted to explain but he didn’t know where to start.

He looked at Feng Mei and tried to do something as he started his explanation.

“Feng Mei, I….”

“Brother, are you gay?”

Feng Mei interrupted with an abrupt question. 

Zhao Luo’s mouth was shut as he didn’t know how to answer her but he did know where her question was coming from.

“Nooo, I am not.”

Zhao Luo answered the little Feng Mei who was smiling at her Brother mysteriously. 

Another person was enjoying this.

It was Yan. Her secret was only known to Brother Sang and Zhao Luo.

Yan had to admit that it felt nice to see Zhao Luo being messed around with like this.

Yan looked at the embarrassed Zhao Luo.

“So what happened?”

She asked him wanting to know what kind of dream he was seeing that made him act like a beast.

Zhao Luo didn’t even want to remember the hellish nightmare again. But he also wanted to clear up the misunderstanding between him and the two girls.

So he began telling them from the start.

‘How he appeared on a wasteland and while in search of water he ended up at drums.’

‘How he could see the face of Senior Mite on the drumhead and that was the reason his hands moved in both realms.’

That is the smacking part in his dream that was directed at the drumhead turned to something else outside his dream resulting in this situation.

Yan and Feng Mei were going through self-reflection after listening to Zhao Luo.

Yan blamed herself for acting rashly and Yan blamed herself for being suspicious of Zhao Luo.

“Sorry Zhao Luo.”

“Sorry, Brother Zhao Luo.”

They both said while bowing to Zhao Luo with their eyes closed as they couldn’t meet Zhao Luo’s eyes after hearing his part.

“Haha, it’s okay. I am sorry too for doing something so weird.”

Zhao Luo defused the situation while showing a radiant smile to them.

As the earlier situation had already settled, memories of the past even entered Zhao Luo’s mind.

Zhao Luo raised his hand to touch his head as he remembered them clearly now.

“So I lost at the fourth row.”

Zhao Luo said as he felt a little bad about it.

‘I thought I was doing well till the shock that entered my body through the drum.’

Zhao Luo thought as he still didn’t know about the qualities of those drums.

“Brother don’t worry. You already did amazingly well.”

Feng Mei tried encouraging Zhao Luo who was looking down thinking about his failure.

“Indeed, I heard from the other trainees that they can’t even clear the five drums of the second row. So it was exciting to see a newbie reach the fourth row.”

Yan added as she remembered hearing such information when they brought Zhao Luo to his room.

“Hmm.”

Zhao Luo wondered what would have happened if he had cleared the ‘Drums of Bellum on his first day as a trainee disciple.

“Life isn’t easy at all.”

Zhao Luo said.

‘Nod.’

Yan and Feng Mei agreed to Zhao Luo’s statement by nodding.

“Indeed.”

Another disciple who was standing outside Zhao Luo’s room also showed gis agreement with what Zhao Luo had said.

“Who is it?”

Zhao Luo asked as the person entered his room even before getting his permission

“You look very handsome, looking up close.”

The disciple said as he approached Zhao Luo’s bed.

Zhao Luo who was now sitting on the bed as Feng Mei was seated next to him and Yan who was standing close to him, the three were looking at the uninvited guest.

“We already know that. Brother is the most handsome man ever.”

Feng Mei said shutting down the disciple who was now standing in front of Zhao Luo’s bed.

“I am Wu Wang. A trainee disciple like you three.”

Wu Yang said as he smiled to act friendly with them.

Disciples of the same sect should get along even if their statuses are different and yet they all were trainees so he tried to act nice.

“Brother, this guy looks creepy.”

Feng Mei whispered to Zhao Luo when she saw the smile on Wu Yang’s face.

But she didn’t lower her voice as it was easily heard by Yan and Wu Yang himself.

‘Ah.’

Wu Yang suffered an imaginary arrow to his heart when he heard this beautiful little angel in front of him calling him creepy.

“Indeed, he must have been eavesdropping on us, and then he enters without asking for permission, and NOW, he is smiling.”

Yan added agreeing with Feng Mei.

‘Ah.’

Another imaginary arrow stuck right at Wu Yang’s heart as this beautiful girly looking boy insulted him.

“I just wanted to help you Zhao Luo but it looks like I am not welcomed here.”

Wu Yang said with teary eyes as for him there were two demons on each side of Zhao Luo.

Zhao Luo looked at Wu Yang who was ready to leave anytime but still stayed there.

‘Is he waiting for me to ask him?’

Zhao Luo wondered as Wu Yang was still at his bed like a statue as waiting for Zhao Luo to do something.

“Stop it, you two.”

Zhao Luo looked at Feng Mei and Yan.

Then Zhao Luo turned to look at the teary-eyed Wu Yang.

“How can you help me?”

Zhao Luo asked Wu Yang.

Wu Yang looked all smug as he brought his arms in front of his cheat making a pose before starting his talk.

“I am one of the oldest trainee disciples in the trainee hall. I know many secrets of the trainee hall that even many outer disciples don’t know about. But you will have to let me join you guys.”

Wu Yang told Zhao Luo

Yan and Feng Mei listened to Wu Yang.

They didn’t believe Wu Yang’s words as they sounded like lies. 

‘How could a trainee disciple know more secrets about the trainee area than those the outer disciple who got strong enough to become outer disciples?’

Yan thought as she looked at Wu Yang.

“Hmm, what kind of secrets do you know about?”

Zhao Luo tried to get more information out of Wu Yang before accepting his help and letting him join them.

“Okay for now I can tell you about two.”

Wu Yang said to Zhao Luo as he raised his fingers to make a V-sign with them.

‘So he knows about more too. Interesting.’

Zhao Luo thought as he pondered over his luck.

‘Is this a chance that I have to grab?’

Zhao Luo questioned the situation as he looked at Wu Yang.

“What are the two secrets?”

Zhao Luo wanted to know the two secrets first before deciding what to do with Wu Yang.

“Did you know that there are missions set by one of the elders but only a disciple with trainee status can do them?”

Wu Yang asked them fully knowing that the three in front of him had just joined the Sect a day ago. So obviously there was no way that they would know about it.

Zhao Luo and Feng Mei both were shaking their head like saying,

‘We didn’t know that there were such missions.’

While Yan was just quiet.

‘There was such a thing?’

She thought as she never knew about these ‘missions’ in trainee hall that only trainee disciples could accomplish.

“What is the other secret?”

Zhao Luo asked Wu Yang.

The secret regarding the mission was already enough for letting Wu Yang join them as a friend but still, Zhao Luo hoped that there could be a much better secret than just some mission for the trainee disciples.

“Haha.”

Wu Yang laughed.

“It’s regarding the Drums in the training area. The Drums of Bellum.”

Wu Yang said as he looked at Zhao Luo.

Zhao Luo who still didn’t know the reason behind the attacks by the first drum of the fourth row that came at him suddenly looked shocked.

“Okay Brother Wu Yang, please sit.”

Zhao Luo respectfully said to Wu Yang as he tapped the empty spot on the bed he was sitting on.

‘Hehehe.’

Wu Yang laughed as he proceeded to sit there.
