"That's right..."
"Auntie Sun, stop standing there laughing at us. Remember to put my medicine on to brew!"
With her hands behind her back, the old woman was about to explain to Xu Taiping, only to be cut off by the girl who had just climbed up from the ground.
After saying this, the girl bounded forward and charged back into the Martial Arts School.
An instant later, the sounds of fighting rang out inside the Martial Arts School again.
"It's been brewing for ages! And remember to settle your medicine bill!"
The old woman rolled her eyes at the girl's retreating back.
"Young man, have you come to the Mysterious Cloud Martial Hall to seek a master?"
She turned back to Xu Taiping.
"I... suppose so."
Having already reached the Martial Arts School's entrance, Xu Taiping felt that denying it would only make it look as though he was trying to hide something.
"In the past, I wouldn't have bothered stopping you. But now, I'd advise you to find another Martial Arts School."
The old woman called Auntie Sun sighed.
"Ma'am, what exactly happened? Didn't the Mysterious Cloud Martial Hall used to be very famous?"
Xu Taiping asked curiously.
Judging by the fierce sounds of fighting inside the Martial Arts School, the match probably would not end anytime soon, so he simply stayed outside and asked the old woman about the situation first.
"That was more than ten years ago."
Auntie Sun sighed, then took a tobacco pipe from her sleeve and scooped a bowlful of tobacco from her pouch.
Before the old woman could take out her fire striker, Xu Taiping rubbed his fingers together and lit the tobacco.
"You know magic too, young man?"
Auntie Sun nodded, smiling.
"I've learned a little of the basics."
