2: Be my master, I'll be your 3rd disciple?!

He looked up at the slanting sign up at the gate, it read the characters "Heart Words" 

    The young man had a closer look at the characters he wasn't acquainted with. Having both hands on his waist, he seemed confused looking at the sign. He had to admit to being an illiterate who didn't learn to read. But he didn't think those were necessary, he wouldn't need them to fight the heavens!

    He scratched his messy dark hair that was tied backward in a ponytail with some parts brushing forward his face. This young man by appearance was young, and he indeed was an active youngster.

    He looked around again, there was no house around here. This must be the place that the people he had asked had shown him, And judging by how lonely it...it must be the invaded house of the Great master Lu.

    He approached and then pushed open the door cautiously. The door squeaked its way open as he peeped in and then entered into the compound.

    The large compound was littered with baskets and broken sticks all over. There were fallen tree branches and also scattered parts of leaves around. This seemed like a place where a stampede had occurred.

    "Hello? Anyone?"

    The young man slowly walked in looking around"Hello?" He continued.

    And just as he made his way to the center of the compound, something suddenly gripped his legs and he was swept off his feet and upside down in a trap.

    Shocked and alarmed, he looked up at the rope hanging from the tree where it was tied and then both his legs which were the victim. They had been caught in a trap.

    "Hey! Anyone there?! come out now! This isn't funny!" He yelled looking around as much as he could. He couldn't tell what could happen next!

    "Who gave you the right to step into my home without permission?"

    The young man had heard a voice from behind as he quickly twisted himself from the rope but couldn't see the person behind him well. 

    "Who are you? Show yourself" He urged.

    A man walked up to this young man's front with both hands casually behind him. The man seemed to be in his late Thirties but still a vibrant-looking man.

    He was in a prestigious-looking white linen cloth with a blue falling cord around his waist. His long smooth black hair fell behind him and his expression was calm and solemn. 

    "Who are you?" The man's voice was soothing.

    "I should ask you that. And are you responsible for catching me here?! quickly get me out and fight like a man If you want, don't play a trick!" He seemed to have his way with words!

    The man in white didn't seem to smile as he sighed" You barged into my house...yet you speak so boldly. How rude!"

    "Your house?! isn't this Master Lu's house?! why are you here?"

    The man raised a brow "You're here for master Lu?"

    "Of course" His reply was Sharp, informal, and direct. This rude Young Man was still rude even after being hung upside down!

    "Why look for him?"

    "Why should I tell you?" The young man demanded.

    "Okey. Then you'll have to enjoy your stay here"He turned to leave.

    "No...no...Dodon't go!" 

    He turned "What now?"

    "I...I'm looking for master Lu so I'll be his disciple?"

    "Hmm? why? Have I been stripped of the power of a master? why would I take a disciple?"

    "What do you even know...." He paused recalling the pronouns he had used. The young man's eyes widened in shock. He had been foolish "You are master Lu?!"

    The man in white was still calm and composed. "Tell me...Why are you looking for me?"

    "Because I want to be your disciple" The young man repeated, enthusiastically" I want to learn from you."

    "As I said. I no longer have the power to take in disciples" Master Lu said, firmly.

    "But...I'm serious about it! I...I can be your secret disciple.. just train me"

    Master Lu looked at him" Aren't you afraid of death?"

    "I already died a long time ago, what I live today isn't life" He expressed.

    Master Lu seemed impressed by this young man's courage"What's your name?"

    "Asura, Call me Asura" Asura smiled, hopefully.

    "Asura, Why do you want to be my disciple?"

    "Because... I want to cultivate and gain extreme power! masters and people say I can never cultivate because I have a blocked sense. But I don't believe, I want to cultivate and gain much power to fight the heavens" He said.

    Master Lu stretched out his hands as a stick flew into it. With the stick, he Wiped chang's butt.

    "Ouch!. What was that for?"

    "You've failed the first rule of Being my disciple. And that's not being too ambitious"

    Asura almost bit his tongue at that. Why did he always get This same remark?! People he met always tag him as tas oo ambitious and greedy and also have blocked spiritual sense so could never go in the path of Cultivation! It wasn't his fault he was like this!

    "No matter what, please take me in. I'm willing to do anything to be under your teaching" Asura pleaded. He knew master Lu was the perfect option because he had a similar feeling towards the Heavens.

    "You must have heard that I was taken down from my position and wanted dead by the heavens. And my students are dead. Why do you still dim me special?" He looked at Asura carefully.

    "Because...I just know you're perfect" He smiled" And... would you let me down from here... please?"

    Master Lu looked at him for a moment and snapped his finger, the rode cut and he fell with a bang.

    "Ouch!" He struggled to get up on his feet with both hands on his waist in pain. " So do you agree to accept me? If you do I'll be honored to be your first and only disciple, that'd be great!"

    Master Lu looked at the rather naive kid "Who said you're my first and only disciple? If I were to accept you... you'd be my third. That' Is If"

    Asura was confused "What do you mean third? I thought all your disciples were killed?!"

    Master Lu turned and walked a while, he bent down calmly and picked up a brick " Only my students were killed..." He turned to look at the Confused Asura "Not my Disciple"
