Chapter 68: Elemental Clone (I).
We only had a few more days at the temple.
The morning sun filtered gently through the maple trees, scattering patches of golden light across the temple courtyard.
Training went on as usual…
"And since you confessed to me that you went out in the forest yet again disobeying my order-" (Xiao Lu) shifu hands me the new Mr. Rake that Nuo Lin jiejie and I bought from the village before. "Until your parents pick you up, you're going to clean everything spotless."
I… didn't have the energy to argue with him so I said yes and started sweeping the dry leaves that were on the ground.
Sweep, sweep.
"Good, I'll be back to check on your progress."
The courtyard looked almost untouched, as though nature had spent the entire night patiently reclaiming the ground we had cleaned only yesterday.
I took a slow breath and began to sweep.
Swish… Swish...
The familiar rhythm came naturally.
Push the leaves forward.
Gather them into a pile.
