Inside of the Venom Light Sect inside the quarters of the Sect Head, Ryuk the Sect Head with a head of green hair and purple eyes sat on his seat looking at a mental image which has some words attached to them.

Name: ??

Associate: Blossom Fist Sect

Rank: Grandmaster

Ryuk looked at all of this and his face became more pushed together out of sheer anger second by second, because of the person is shown in the mental image is the person who killed his beloved second personal disciple

Ryuk Clenched his teeth tighter before uttering a few words

Ryuk:"It seems the Blossom Fist Sect has become ballsy through the years of peace to actually kill my favorite personal disciple Yan Duye. They will pay in blood for that!"

After uttering his words he took out 2 sheets of magical paper and wrote some things before selecting two Grandmaster level disciples of his and sending them off to bring them to the Rank 3 Hyiraro Sect and to the Rank 1 Flaming Heart sect of which the Sect Head was his dear friend called, Silvia Steen a middle-aged King ranked Martial Artist with the backing of Supreme class Gold Heart Sect.

Sending the letters, Ryuk calmed down and muttered to himself

Ryuk:"Like Master Venom Light said "Patience brings fruition" let us wait for their reply."

With that, he closed his eyes going back to meditating and pondering upon the question inside of his martial heart.

Back inside of the Blossom Sect, the early sunshine rays were just rising.

Shiro stretched afterward he put the sheets on his bed, he scanned his surroundings and found the two advanced servants waiting patiently outside his door as if they were statues, he felt like a lord inside of a mansion having these servants around him all day round.

Shiro: "How long have you two been waiting outside for?"

From behind the door, he heard a reply from the timid looking but talkative Hiro

Hiro:"Esteemed Grandmaster we have been waiting here since early morning patiently meditating and diligently keeping guard from any onlookers that would want to disturb your sleep."

Shiro felt surprised at the action of the two, but not shocked in olden times it was quite normal to have guards which would protect Vip of certain villages besides that the title was nice but a bit too much so he requested that they change the title to Junior Master Shiro to which the quite but strong looking Alice nodded.

having the whole etiquette talk with the two his whole head felt a bit full, so he asked the two to bring him to Zirah.

Zirah was inside of the library of the sect reading a book based on the fundamental foundation of Qi Cultivation and how it influences the later stages before she could continue she was distracted by the sound of the other disciples gasp because of Shiro flashy entrance with the two disciples walking up front he looked like a force to be reckoned with.

Zirah put down her glasses and stood up to greet Shiro to which Shiro quickened his pace to reach Zirah faster. the two bowed to each other after that Zirah gave Shiro a greeting

Zirah:"Greetings Grandmaster Shiro, how was your rest?"

Shiro hearing the formalities rising up from Zirah asked her to please not address him such fashion since she was his first friend inside of this World Of Martial Life.

Zirah being the social butterfly that she is agreed with it, not holding any formalities towards for now, after having the whole talk with Zirah she asked him if he wanted a tour of the Sect to which he naturally agreed to.

First, they visited the Martial Training Fields where several groups of disciples were having combat training, some were also trading information and selling items, Secondly, they visited the Mission hall where disciples gathered to accept the various rank of missions, most of them were Martial Apprentices but some of them were Martial Masters but they were mainly Apprentice Leaders, leading their squads into various dangerous missions.

Shiro not seeing any Grandmaster type Cultivators asked Zirah his question

Shiro:"Junior Martial Sister, are there any Grandmasters inside of the sects?"

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

hearing this Zirah face immediately darkened, Shiro felt the cheery atmosphere cool down and regretted asking his question

Shiro:"Ah Junior Martial Sister, I apologize, I have asked a question i shouldn't have."

Hearing this Zirah face softened, she let loose a sigh and said

Zirah:"Senior Martial Brother, it is not your fault for not knowing. In the Past, the Blossom Fist Sect used to be a Rank 3 sect but after the encounter with Venom Light of the Venom Light Sect, the Blossom Fist Sect lost five Honorable Grandmasters and 2 Martial Ancestors and even the previous Sect Head Venerable Blossom Fist a Martial Prince died in that war. being the only one of Venerable Blossom Fist disciples, Sect Head Reynold took the title of Blossom Fist and with that gained the title of Sect Head.

Shiro hearing all of this Shiro was deeply shocked and faced Zirah staring straight at her, he bowed deeply and loudly said

Shiro:"I apologize for my ignorant behavior and am sorry for your loss."

Hearing this Zirah rushed to help Shiro up, without noticing it her respect towards Shiro grew and she shortened his title because of the feeling inside her heart.

Zirah:"Senior Brother, you are a Martial Grandmaster you do not have to bow to apologize towards me."

Shiro did not move and solemnly yet clearly said

Shiro:"Junior Sister, even though I am a Martial Grandmaster that does not excuse me from my ignorant behavior, all Martial Cultivators are eventually being that learn from their mistakes and work towards a brighter future."

Hearing the conviction inside of Shiro's voice, Zirah was stunned that before she noticed, she was moved to tears without realizing it, such righteous and wise words from someone at such a young age, with that she said with a quivering voice.

Zirah:"I forgive you, Senior Brother."

Shiro lifted his head the first thing he noticed was the silence surrounding them, around Shiro and Zirah all Apprentice and Apprentice Leaders were bowing towards him even the two advanced Servants were bowing towards him after seeing all this he saw Zirah with teardrops inside of her eyes before he could react to Zirah and everyone else he heard everyone say at once

Everyone:"WE ACCEPT YOUR APOLOGY!"

Before the apology of Shiro, all of the disciples inside of the mission hall witnessed the scene and were surprised and moved that a Grandmaster far above them could show such passion and emotion in his words and action.

Shiro's cheeks blushed and he said

Shiro:"I caused quite the commotion, everyone."

Everyone lifted their heads with a smile, Zirah tearfully smiled and nodded to him. Zirah removed the tears, looked and continued her tour of the sect, visiting the Sect Quarters where all disciples rest afterward they visited the Hall of Teaching where teachers of the Advanced Martial Master rank give lectures towards new and old disciples of the sect, there Zirah introduced Shiro to Advanced Master Fan Ming who was a short sociable nice old man with no hair on his head who like Sect Head Reynold managed to survive the previous war.

Zirah:"Senior Brother there are still Ancestral Hall and the Hall of healing, but sadly I have sect task that needs to be taken care of so I need to excuse myself, for now, do not worry as Alice and Hiro will continue your guide of the Sect."

Shiro nodded as he respected and understood that Zirah was a diligent worker who naturally like all others have to contribute to the Sect, After visiting the Hall of Healing and the Ancestral Hall, Shiro returned back to his courtyard to take his rest.

Laying inside of his bed Shiro looked at the ceiling and muttered to himself

Shiro:"I expected the Martial Life World to be more exciting, but I guess this also fine for now."

With that, he fell asleep what he didn't know was that his action towards Yan Duye and Zirah would lead to a string of cruel events that would be happening in the future towards him and the Blossom Fist Sect.

Inside the Quarters of the Sect Head of the Blossom Fist Sect, Zirah was seated with Sect Head Reynold having a cup of warm sweet tea.

Sect Head Reynold looked at Zirah like she was his daughter with a smile full of fondness he said

Sect Head Reynold:"Zirah I heard of what happened today at the Mission Hall, the boy at the position of Grandmaster at such a young age actually showed grace and virtue and even bowed to apologize, he is able to adapt and notice his mistakes and work on them, truly worthy of being a Grandmaster at such a young age."

Zirah nodded enthusiastically with a hint of blush on her face, noticing this on Zirah, Reynold teased her

Sect Head Reynold:"It seems you've taken a liking to the boy."

Zirah slightly nodded her face becoming redder, Reynold was not surprised of her actions, Zirah has always been an honest child that is true to her feelings, that is why he cherished this child so much and gave her the last name Kaihua which means blossom, when he adopted her at tender age of six into the sect while traveling outside in his younger days of adventuring when Venerable Blossom Fist was still alive.

Feeling that the ending of their conversation was near he looked at Zirah and shook his head slightly

Sect Head Reynold:"Right Zirah, it seems the end for today is near, return to your quarters and have a good night of rest. Tomorrow I want you to invite Shiro into the Blossom Fist sect as a formal member of the Apprentice Leader rank, see what his terms are if they are too high we must sadly sever ties with him."

Zirah nodded and stood up leaving for her courtyard with a blank look on her face while contemplating some things, she did not know when this boy had captured her heart, but she was not opposed to this new feeling rather than opposing it she started accepting this new feeling.

Arriving at her courtyard she looked around her room, it was very girly with many cute stuffed animals and other such cute things, Reynold would always spoil her with all kinds of cute things. the things is that Reynold has had little interaction with the female gender in his younger days and mainly thinks that women like cute and small things so when designing Zirah room he made it look very cute to which Zirah thought it looks childish in contrast, but she liked the care put into the room so for that she was very thankful to her stepfather.

Zirah dove into her bed and soon fell asleep, readying herself for a new day.
