Master Zi Chen and Jún were looking with their eyes wide open at the ladybug which was sitting calm on Liang's finger tip. The ladybug was resting on his fingertip like she is Liang's pet, and with Liang she was feeling much more protected than ever. Seeing this it made both Jún and Master Zi Chen shocked.
"Liang! Why this ladybug is sitting so calmly at your fingertip, it looks like this ladybug knows you way more than enough?"
Master Zi Chen asked, Liang gently smirked, he looked at the ladybug with love and replied.
"I don't know Master, when I plucked this ladybug out of the cobweb, since then she is sitting at my fingertip without any fear?"
Jún looked at in shock and asked
"But how this could happen? How..... how could you do this.....?"
Liang with no ego inside him, respectfully answered Jún
" I guess she wants to be my friend brother Jún. That is why she never fly away even after I saved her."
Ladybug then suddenly started to fly, she was now flying in circles around Liang, it looks like she was thanking him for saving her life and also wanted tell him that she really likes him. The ladybug then flew away, saying goodbye to Liang for now.
"Bye ladybug, stay safe, always remember."
Liang also bids farewell to his new friend and also asked him to stay safe.
Master Zi Chen was watching this with a smile on his face, he was quite amused and impressed at a same time by Liang. On the other Jún who wanted to see Liang being punished and humiliated is now feeling humiliated over himself. He can't how the tables have turned and his jealousy and hatred towards Liang was now at peak.
Master Zi Chen gently kept his hand over Liang's bald Head and started patting
"Liang, seriously I am so proud of you right now, you have so much empathy even towards a small insect."
Master Zi Chen was praising Liang while Jún scoffed and tried to bring Liang down.
"Huh..... Empathy is for the loosers Master, the real king always rules."
Master Zi Chen looked at Jún, his eyes were narrowed, it was looking like Master Zi Chen didn't liked his answer.
"Really Jún, you believe that empathy is for the loosers?" Master Zi Chen asked politely. Jún didn't backed down from statement and stood for his words.
"Yes Master, my mother always told me that if you want to become the Emperor then you should have qualities such as empathy, it makes us weak."
The words from Jún made Master Zi Chen quite disappointed, however he stayed silent and never spoke a word, instead he gently smiled at Jún.
"Okay, now please both of you sit down, we shall begin the class."
Master Zi Chen asked them to sit down, Jún after not getting a reply from Master Zi Chen he taught this time he proved him wrong.
Liang and Jún sat down on the ground and Master Zi Chen sitting on the rock, about to begin with today's lesson.
"Liang, Jún, today's lesson is going to be most important but also most exciting for both of you."
Jún interrupted in excitement with glittering eyes.
"What new thing are going to teach us about Master Zi Chen, a new spell, a new weapon or a new sword fighting skill?"
Master Zi Chen giggled and politely answered.
"No, today there will be nothing about weapon or fighting skills. Today's lesson will much more psychological and cognitive."
Master Zi Chen poured a cold water on Jún's excitement. Now Jún was sitting like a lazy boy, with no interest at all. However Liang was like true student was carefully listening to Master Zi Chen.
"Trust me, it is going to be very exciting for both you. So today we are going to learn about restrain."
Jún as soon as he heard about the word restrain, his mind started flooding with questions, he was confused and wanted ask Master Zi Chen the questions which were running in his mind.
"Restrain...?"
Jún asked in shock.
"Yes.... you heard right Jún, restrain." Master Zi Chen replied.
"But.... Master.... but restraining is for weak people, only weak people like to restrain themselves. As a future Emperor it is my duty to face the challenge."
Jún questioned the topic chosen by Master Zi Chen while Liang raised no objection at all, he was ready to take the lesson. Master Zi Chen gave a perfect explanation about the topic which he chose to teach.
"Jún, you are right, a true Emperor should always be ready to face challenges but all challenges cannot be won by the means of war only. Sometimes he have to chose a more calmer way."
Jún wasn't pleased by Master Zi Chen's explanation, he was still convinced that everything can be solved by using weapons and fighting the enemy.
"But Master, why to chose a calmer way? If he we are stronger than our enemies then we should surely chose to fight them, instead of restraining ourselves. For me it is a act of coward."
Jún's words were very harsh about this topic, Master Zi Chen was disappointed with Jún's constant criticism towards restraining but Master Zi Chen holding his senses and always be peaceful with his answers.
"Jún, restrain is not a act of cowardness, it is also a act of bravery, your forefathers also had this ability within themselves as well."
Jún again questioned instead of listening to Master Zi Chen.
"Master, if our forefathers had this ability than how could they able to protect this Dynasty from our enemies."
Master Zi Chen was silent for sometime not because he had no answers but because he wanted to explain Jún in such a way that he could understand the importance of restrain.
"This is a long story Jún and today I will also tell you the stories of your forefathers and how they used restrain than using weapons, but for that I am going to take you both to a special place for this lesson."
"Where Master?" Both Liang and Jún asked.
"Somewhere special, you will like it. Just follow me."
Master Zi Chen stood up and started walking, behind him Liang and Jún also stood up and started following Master Zi Chen.
