Chapter 37 - 37. Train Physically
"As long as a person has never taken the test before, then he/she is allowed to take part. Apart from that, nothing else. You only need to bring yourself," Elder Chen explained.
"Can I take the test?" asked Fu Xie Lan seriously
"Xie Lan, are you serious? But in that test ..."
"It's okay, I have you by my side after all," cut Fu Xie Lan with a smile etched on her lips.
"I'm curious too, remember? I can't remember anything about myself," she added again as if it had happened to him.
That was not what Wan Lie's meant, he was afraid that someone would disturb his mother again like that incident in the library, remember! Even though the smell of the half-human in his mother's body no longer smelled, several people had already seen her face. And more or less Fu Xie Lan understood that.
"You stop worrying about me like that," she added.
"All right, it's up to you," said Wan Lie, letting out a rough breath.
"Where is the test done?" Fu Xie Lan asked back to Elder You
"Erm I think Elder Bao can accompany you," replied Elder You while glancing at Huang Bao
"Has it become your habit to always bother me?" Elder Bao rolled his eyes in embarrassment.
"Besides, even if you didn't ask me, I will do that," he added again
"Erm ok, fine, thank you uncle," said Fu Xie Lan
"Wan Lie, come on!" she added again, inviting Wan Lie to go.
"Excuse me," said Wan Lie and they both left the room.
After the two of them left, Elder Chen returned to his original position.
"I also want to go, I have something to do," suddenly Elder Huang Bao stood up and also withdrew from the room.
Now only Elder Chen and Elder You were left in the room.
"You're not leaving?" asked Elder Chen who saw Elder You still sitting quietly in his position.
"You have not answered my question earlier," yes they were talking about something before the arrival of these people.
"Which is your question?" said Elder Chen pretending to forget their discussion earlier.
"That half-human, is it here? but why can't I feel its presence? did you hide it? it's just information that the news of the Half human's existence has spread, they say she's a Fairy? Ahh .. seriously. "
"Aren't you afraid, if the Bai guards suddenly come and drag you because of that Half-Human?" he added again without giving Elder Chen a chance to speak. His body still remembered the pain he felt when he hit the walls of the Demon palace hall. Just thinking about it made his body break out in cold sweat.
The Universe knows very well that anyone who deals with a human being, even if it is only a half-human, is bad for him.
'Bodyguard Bai? if only he had known that the young man who invited him to speak earlier was a child of Lord, how would he respond,' Elder Chen monologue in his mind?
"If you are lucky, during the pury test you will find out for yourself. I advise you not to be surprised," said Elder Chen then stood up and prepared to leave the room.
"It feels unethical for superiors to prevent their subordinates from going to work," while looking out of the window and noticing the shadows of the trees which indicates that the time may already be 8:00 am, which means the library should be open.
"Alright, it's my fault for visiting so early."

"Mom what are you doing?" Wan Lie was confused to see Fu Xie Lan make movements that she thought were very strange.
After they returned from Elder Chen's room, they did not immediately return to the room and here they were, a place that was more like a small field, that place was behind Elder Chen's residence. Fu Xie Lan discovered the place when she used her eye ability last night.
Hearing Wan Lie asks, Fu Xie Lan only gave a glance without any intention of answering. What she was doing now was stretching her body muscles in the hot morning sun, all the movements she did were basic while she was still in her organization. She decided to start training her very stiff body muscles.
Not getting any response, Wan Lie just let out a rough sigh as he watched his mother from under a tree not far from where his mother was.
Now that Fu Xie Lan was running around the field, it happened for a few minutes, sweat started flowing down her forehead, the sound of hunting breaths began to be heard as a sign that she was almost at her limit. Her hair that was tied back also moved to the rhythm of her feet, a gentle breeze blew the ends of the men's clothes she was wearing.
"Hmm, it's very peaceful, if only I could continue to be by your side, mother, I would be very happy," Wan Lie's monologue without taking his attention away from Fu Xie Lan's figure for even a second. Even though Wan Lie didn't understand what his mother was doing, no matter what, he would stay by his mother's side before leaving to search for the existence of the Elf, the time was very short.
Seeing his mother bowing with only her hands supporting her body, Wan Lie immediately got up and gave a bottle of water to Fu Xie Lan, the water he prepared a while ago when he saw Fu Xie Lan start running.
"Rest first, don't push yourself too much, it's not good for your body, Mom."
Wan Lie, who initially did not understand what his mother was doing, now more or less understands after seeing everything.
"Hosh ...hosh, h-hah love, "Fu Xie Lan took the water bottle that Wan Lie handed to him, but she didn't drink it right away because she knew that it would not be good for her heart health. So, she chose to take cover under the tree Wan Lie was previously on, sitting on the ground barefoot with her legs stretched out. Maybe today's exercise is enough. Wan Lie just smiled at all the things his mother was doing.
'If only father were here,' he said to himself and sat next to Fu Xie Lan, staring at the blue sky which was very clean without the slightest white clouds.
When her breath was normal, Fu Xie Lan drank the water that Wan Lie had given her until it ran out.
"So tired," this was the first time she had exercised using that body, it was very tiring.
They then fell silent, busy with their thoughts.
The gentle breeze again blew slowly made Fu Xie Lan close her eyes for a moment feeling the wind gently caress her skin which was wet with sweat, it felt very comfortable and refreshing.
But unlike Wan Lie, he immediately got up from his position and looked around. The breeze that had just blown made him put on a guard. Even though it was only for a few seconds, there was an unpleasant smell mixed with the rancid smell of blood in the wind.
