Chapter 37 - Two Cousins But Complete Opposite Of Each Other

Master Zi Chen put the wooden flask onto Jún's mouth, tilted the flask and made him drink Xuèshén Yin to cure his injuries and wounds. Jún resisting to drink because of it's sharp smell and taste but Master Zi Chen made him drink it forcefully. After Jún finished drinking Xuèshén Yin from the wooden flask, he coughed due it's sharp bitter taste and suddenly after few seconds there was bright golden sparkling light like a star was seen through his chest and stomach. 

Liang was watching without blinking that sparkling golden light which he saw made him mesmerized. He was seeing it for the very first time in his life and it was astonishing. When the sparkling golden light was glowing, Jún's wounds started to heal, his ruptured skin started to heal automatically, his gash and wounds on the chest started to heal as well and his broken and misplaced rib bones also started to get back to it's place and got repaired magically. After his ribs and his wounds were fully repaired and he got recovered from his injury he glowing sparkling light slowly faded away with time

"Woah!..... what was that? All of my pains are gone... I can breath properly now... and.... and...." Jún touched his ribs.

"And my rib bones are also repaired..... they are no longer broken...." 

Jún was feeling amazed, happy and surprised after acknowledging that he has fully recovered from his wounds seeing that Liang was also amazed, seeing the effects and the magic of Xuèshén Yin but he was happy and relieved seeing his brother fully recovered. 

Master Zi Chen returned the wooden flask to Fengyìn and thanked her.

"Thank you.... again thank you so much my child. You are a true healer. You did your job like a true professional." 

Fengyìn bowed to Master Zi Chen.

"Master.... you don't have to be thankful to me. I am happy that I could help you and prince Jún. I am already honored by the fact that I could meet you both in person. When I reach my village I will tell everyone that I met you all here in this forest. My parents would be happy to know that I met you Master." 

Master Zi Chen was smiling, hearing those beautiful words from Fengyìn made him smile. Jún stood up and was still checking on his ribs, Master Zi Chen looked at him because he was thinking that Jún will also thank Fengyìn for helping him but Jún completely ignored her. Master Zi Chen then reminded him.

"Jún! Will you thank Miss Fengyìn for helping you in recovering your injuries?" 

Jún scoffed and giggled arrogantly.

"What for.... didn't she said that she is a healer and it is her duty? And after all.... it all happened because of her..... I tried... to save her from that mad bull. It was her moral responsibility to help me." 

Master Zi Chen didn't liked the answer also his arrogant behavior. He wanted to confront Jún but suddenly Fengyìn intruppeted.

"Prince Jún is right Master..... After it all has happened because of me. It was my moral responsibility after all." 

Master Zi Chen then remained silent and decided not to force Jún however he was very much disappointed by his rude behavior. 

Fengyìn looked at the sun and sun was down below the horizon. She realized she was late and had to get back to her home. 

"Oh... look the sun is going down. It is going to be night soon, I have to go home Master..... I wish I could talk to you even more but unfortunately it's too late and I have to head back home my parents must be worried."

Fengyìn immediately put back the wooden flask back to her bag and bowed to Master Zi Chen once again.

"Master, prince Jún and prince Liang it was a pleasure meet you all I hope I could meet you all again one day but right now I would like to leave, may I....." 

Fengyìn asked, Master Zi Chen gently nodded his and bids farewell, Liang came upfront.

"I have something for you..." He said.

He opened up tiny red bag on his waist and pulled small but precious bright red marble and offered it to her.

"This is a small gift from me... for helping my brother. Please accept this gift miss Fengyìn." Liang said.

Fengyìn was feeling honored, she was receiving a gift from prince Liang and since she was a normal healer who was practicing it was a huge thing, also the humbleness of Liang astounded her. She gladly took the Red marble from Liang and thanked him for his gift.

"Thank you..... thank you I have to say you are such a nice boy, prince Liang... infact.... you all are such a nice people. I am glad we are under such a delicate, nice, polite and humble regime. Long live the Yienchen dynasty." She said. 

Fengyìn accepted Liang's gift and bids farewell to them.

"Bye.... it was so nice to meet you all, I hope we meet again somewhere very soon." She said. She waved her hands walked towards the bushes. Liang and Master Zi Chen also waved their hands and said goodbye to her.

"Bye..... get home safe my child." Master Zi Chen said to which Fengyìn replied from the far.

"Yes Master....." and she dissappeared into the bushes.

"She was a such a nice lady Master." Liang praised Fengyìn and Master Zi Chen agreed to him.

"Yes Liang..... she was..... a nice lady." Master Zi Chen said.

Master Zi Chen then turned his focus to Jún who was still amazed after the magical effects of Xuèshén Yin over his body. Master Zi Chen gently but not too softly slapped back of his head to get his attention.

"Ahhh.... what? Why are you hitting me Master?" Jún asked. Master Zi Chen narrowed his eyes and said.

"Why did I hit you....? Are you serious Jún? Is this how you should behave to someone who helps you?" 

Jún didn't backed or flinched to Master Zi Chen's anger.

"Oh C'mon Master..... didn't you saw earlier she was the one who brought that raging bull here? and I was the first one who saved her." 

"Saved her?" Master Zi Chen replied in a sarcastic tone.

"Yes..... First it was me who saved her however Liang somehow managed to take all credits of my hardwork just like he always do." Jún said and he taunted his little cousin for taking credits.

Master Zi Chen then slapped at his back of his head again.

"Shut up!" He said. "It was because his brilliance that bull stopped attacking everyone." 

Jún looked straight upto Master Zi Chen and replied without any remorse.

"But Master..... I was the one who fought that bull regardless of the fact I will get injured. All he did was to pluck out the thorn from his hoof." 

For Jún he believed that he did more than what Liang ever but Master Zi Chen corrected him and made him realise about his mistake.

"You both saw the same danger Jún." Master Zi Chen said. "But only one of you listened to the silence beneath the chaos." 

He looked at Liang. "And it was Liang who learned today that strength without restraint is no strength at all." 

Then he turned Jún. "And then it was you who learned that pain follows pride." 

Jún clinched his fists but said nothing.

Master Zi Chen took a deep and slow breath and gestured for them to rise. "Come. There's more to learn not of weapons, but of yourselves. I will teach both of you but right now we have head back to castle before the sun set otherwise your parents will get worried about you both."

And so they walked deeper into the woods, beneath the trees and heard the same lesson for centuries. On their way to castle.
