He's My Fiancée ! : I Went Back To The Past and You !

Chapter 357: The Master and His Disciples-III

The nine disciples were present in a wide hall where they would usually practice at except for Tian Wu who was rushed out to a doctor. Tian Yi only held his temple having all the disciples looking at him with a loss expression to what they should do or stay and wondered if they should say the entire time until Tian Yi spoke, "Everyone leave." and the disciples as if by number began to stand up but when it comes to Tian San he stopped, "You wait here and Shi, you too."

Tian San obediently sat down until the last Tian Jiu left and closed the door Tian Yi sighed. "Tell me what happened between you and Tian Wu."

For a long time, Tian Wu didn't speak and Tian Shi could only think that the awkward air didn't sit well with him and wondered why should he be here when he had no use in the place.

"Tian San." Tian Yi called to urge him and the boy only lifted his face looking angry but said no words.

"Fine." sighed Tian Yi, gathering Tian San's attention to him. "You don't need to tell me. Tomorrow at early morning pack your things and leave the house. Not only you but Tian Wu too."

"Master!" Tian San finally spoke. His face broke out in a worry bit Tian Yi only hardened his gaze.

"I don't need disciples who could not follow my words. I will leave you in my friend's care. He would do his best to protect you like his own child, I'm sure." Tian Shi wondered if his uncle really gave friends like that but Tian San wasn't in his mind to think. He immediately ran and held Tian Yi's hand even going so lowly to kneel in front of him.

"I'm sorry. It was my fault. I know I did wrong, I was just enraged." he filled his last words with hesitation. Tian Shi noticed how the lines seemed to be practiced and then again he remembered how Tian San was a person who twist himself to his benefit but Tian Yi didn't notice this.

He turned his face, looking at Tian San's face, Tian Yi couldn't bring himself to push him away. He was his teacher but also the person who had offered him a family name, his own name, and a roof to live under and knew that pushing the boy would also mean telling him to leave all the kindness he did to him.

"Will you tell me what happened?" asked Tian Yi with a hardened heart.

Tian San looked unwilling to tell but he was afraid Tian Yi will kick him out and reply. "I will." and after the talk, Tian San confessed everything. He said that he caught Tian Wu in his act when the boy tried to frame him to steal one of his belonging. Tian Yi said he could have consoled to him but Tian San replied that he was afraid that Tian Yi would believe Tian Wu's words because in the past he had pickpocket Tian Yi's wallet before when he was still living in this street before being picked by Tian Yi to his family.

Tian Wu was then expelled from the place but because Tian Shi had broken three of his ribs and his left arm, Tian Wu was accepted back to study in one condition which is to never do such a thing again that would instigate fights. The problems were thought ended until there and then but that night when Tian Shi talked the last time to Tian Yi he could still remember telling Tian Yi that he had a bad feeling and it would be better to expel the two disciples. But Tian Yi didn't want that. He felt the disciples were all like his blood-related family and to expel them was akin to cutting blood ties.

Tian Shi knew how his uncle was soft-hearted and worried that it would be the reason to end him. Who knows four years after that, the great accident happened. Deep in the nights before anyone woke up, Tian Wu walked inside the garden in anger. He had just saw how Tian San was praised to great ends by Tian Yi and his brother who said to have seen his potential. Instead, because his hand was broken in the fight with Tian San four years ago, it hindered him in his lesson, making him less superior and always sank in despair when he couldn't get one move right because of his broken arm.

"I believe. Don't worry, I know you could do it Yi." The voice surprised Tian Wu. He sneaked outside peeking through the trees to see Master Tian Yi and his older brother speaking while passing the place. He didn't want to overheard because he had heard enough before but then came the topic that made his feet stop.

"But Tian San's problem is his temperament. He couldn't hold his anger and anger is never a good emotion in martial arts. It could make all reason flies and the wrong right in front of their eyes." said Tian Yi's brother and Tian Yi nodded.

"I know. I also hope he could control his anger but it isn't something that could be change in a count of years."

His brother smiled, patting his shoulders. "Don't worry, I know. I heard that he had gotten better in controlling his emotions. But if he still smiles while fighting, this is surely a concern. I'm afraid if he break loose once and resulted in something grave, he would pursue the wrong path."

"Thank you brother for the concern." Tian Yi saluted.

"Mhm, speaking other than that, Tian Shi he..." Tian Yi and his Master left the place, leaving only Tian Wu alone at the garden. He had heard everything, including Tian San's only weakness which was anger. If he could use his anger, wouldn't it benefit him? Tian Yi would also expel him as his disciple!

As Tian Wu walked away from the place, Tian Jiu stood not too far from the place he was and for a moment he saw the twisted smile, his older disciple had.
