Chapter 4 - Worrying parents

"Wake up, son. wake up." Zhi Ju tells her son who was still lying in bed. "Nooooo, why it's still early." He responds. "Zhi Fen son of Zhi Ju today is the day the martial master will come to test you so if you don't get out of bed right now we will have a very big problem, young man." The angry mother yells at her son. "Oh right, I totally forgot, thank you mother." Zhi Feng jumps out of bed losing all his previous apprehension about getting out of bed. The only response he gets from his mother is a sigh at his behavior. 'This boy constantly switches from acting like a regular kid his age and behaving like a mature adult. Sigh, what am I going to do with this boy?' Zhi Ju wonders in her mind.

While leaving the room Zhi Ju tells her son to get dressed in the clothes she prepared for him. "And right after that come down to eat breakfast, you don't want to be late after all." She tells her son. "Alright, mother." Zhi Feng tells his mother while leaving his room to take a quick bath in the hot water that his mother prepared for him.

After taking a bath and putting on the assigned clothes he goes to the kitchen area to eat breakfast with his family. Already sitting at the table were his mother and father who were sporting nervous expressions.

After taking a seat, Zhi Feng took his chopsticks and began to eat his rice and fish. While he was eating he took the time to ask a question to his parents. "Why are you looking so nervous?". His parents looked at each other with hesitation. After having a seemingly telepathic conversation with one another they turned back to him and looked him in the eye. "Look son if you discover that you don't have any talent in martial arts do not be too disappointed alright everyone has their own path in life." His father said while putting his hand on his shoulder. "He's right, the requirements to becoming a martial artist are just too demanding."

After listening to his parents' sorry attempt at consoling him in advance, he looks into the reflection of the water in his cup and smiles as his eyes turn a golden hue.

"Hahaha hahaha, dear parents you do not have to worry about me failing the test. A martial artist goes against the will of heaven while knowing the consequences." He said out loud while adding to the sentence in his mind. ' After all, getting brought back to life is the greatest act of treason according to heaven'.
