Realizer of Death : The Reaper
224 Chapter 224
The one who suddenly appeared and blocked the two girls' attacks was Tenku. While recuperating on the giant centipede, he sensed a battle from the direction of his apartment. Tenku was familiar with their presence and recognized that they were Setsuka and Wang Ruyue.
He was surprised that the two girls were in his apartment in the middle of the night. Tenku intends to ask why they came to his place after he arrived.
At first, Tenku didn't want to get involved because he thought they were just having a small battle. But his face changed once he sensed that Setsuka and Wang Ruyue used the abilities of their Phantasmal Objects and started fighting seriously.
If their attacks clashed, then the impact would damage that area. Thus, he instructed the giant centipede to block their attacks while Tenku walked to his apartment. He wanted to do it himself, but he couldn't withstand their attacks in his current state.
"Tenku!"
Wang Ruyue and Setsuka called out his name simultaneously when they saw him, and they quickly canceled the manifestation of their Phantasmal Objects. They jogged towards Tenku but suddenly stopped their footsteps, and their faces changed drastically when they saw his condition.
Tenku's condition looks terrible right now. His skin was charred, and his body was covered in bloody wounds. His face was pale, and he looked very weak. It was already much better than when he had just completed the thunder tribulation. Luckily, the two girls didn't see Tenku in his miserable state.
"What has happened to you!?" Setsuka asked worriedly and checked Tenku's condition.
"Are you seriously injured?" Wang Ruyue said frantically.
The two girls examined Tenku's body from the right and left. Then their faces became sad, and tears flowed from their eyes after knowing that Tenku's condition was quite bad.
On the other hand, Kaede's heart felt bitter when she saw the two girls giving their attention to Tenku. She shouldn't be jealous of her best friend, but she couldn't control her feelings when she saw their closeness.
"I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me. I just need a few days of rest, and my condition will recover. So please don't cry." Tenku felt distressed when he saw Wang Ruyue and Setsuka crying for him. He felt guilty for making the two girls worry about him.
"Is that true?"
"You're not lying, are you?"
Wang Ruyue and Setsuka looked Tenku straight in the eye. They didn't want him to say that to make them feel better.
"Of course. I am not lying to you." Tenku smiled weakly at the two girls and then turned his eyes in a certain direction in the apartment building.
"Master. Why do you only watch them fight and not stop them when they are getting serious? If I don't block their attacks, they will be injured, and there will be a lot of damage in this apartment." Tenku complained.
KKaede and Setsuka looked where Tenku was talking and were confused because they didn't find anyone there. Not long after, they heard the voice of an old man from one of the apartments.
"Hahaha! I didn't think you could notice me, brat! You have become very strong and have surpassed me. Come here! I want to hear your story about your tribulation!" Wang Haotian said from inside his apartment.
Setsuka and Kaede were surprised to hear someone speaking from inside the apartment without shouting and not using a speaker. They thought that it was an ability of a Phantasmal Object.
"Grandpa! Don't you want to sleep earlier? We can talk about that matter tomorrow. Tenku is seriously injured and needs to rest a lot to recover." Wang Ruyue replied, and her face looked unhappy.
Kaede and Setsuka just silently listened to their conversation. Setsuka could only nod in agreement at Wang Ruyue's words. Although Wang Haotian is Tenku's master, he must understand his disciple's situation.
Setsuka knew that Wang Ruyue was the granddaughter of the martial master from Tenku. But she didn't know that Wang Haotian lived in the same apartment as him because she never met him when she came to Tenku's place. Setsuka was slightly surprised when he found out about that.
"I couldn't sleep, so I read a book in my room. But then I saw your battle with the girl from Fuyushima Temple. It would be best if you practiced your swordsmanship more, Yuer. As for Tenku, he'll be fine. He can recuperate while resting here." Wang Haotian answered.
Setsuka and Wang Ruyue objected to Wang Haotian's words. But before they could say anything, Tenku opened his mouth first.
"Alright, I understand. but I must return to my apartment first to get my high-level elixirs." Tenku complied with Wang Haotian's words. He also wanted to meet his master because he had many questions about his cultivation after he broke through the innate realm.
"You can use mine!"
"I have one with me! You can drink it now!"
Wang Ruyue and Setsuka took out a small vial from their space pockets at the same time and gave it to Tenku. Tenku was surprised when he saw the sudden action of the two girls.
"Thank You. But you don't need to give your elixirs to me since I still have one in my apartment. It has a very high price. So I can't accept it." Tenku shook his head and refused their gifts. He was touched when he saw the sincerity on Setsuka and Wang Ruyue's faces, but he didn't want to bother them, let alone be indebted.
"You don't need to think about that. You have saved me many times. This is nothing compared to what you did for me. So please accept the elixir. You can still drink yours, and your healing will be faster if you consume more." Wang Ruyue insisted on giving the elixir to Tenku.
"Yes, you have also saved my life several times. You had used high-grade elixirs to heal me when I was seriously injured. I can still remember it. So please accept this gift of mine. I wish you a speedy recovery. If you refuse my elixir, my heart cannot be at ease." Setsuka added, and she looked at Tenku with an expectant face.
"I also have one with me. Even though it's not a high-grade elixir like theirs, I'm sure it can help shorten your healing time." Kaede entered into their conversation, and her words surprised Setsuka and Wang Ruyue.
On the other hand, Tenku was confused when he saw the situation. He wanted to refuse their gifts again, but Wang Haotian interrupted him.
"Well, you'd better accept their kindness, brat. If you chat any longer in that place, the people living in this apartment neighborhood might wake up and come out to check. So accept the elixir and come to my apartment immediately." Wang Haotian reminded Tenku.
Setsuka's face became sad when she heard that. She had met Tenku only briefly and had not had much time to talk to him. Setsuka wanted to ask why he had been avoiding her for the past few days but couldn't say it in front of Wang Ruyue.
"Alright." Tenku replied curtly and received a small vial from them.
"Thank you..." Tenku smiled at the three girls. But before he could finish his sentence, Wang Haotian interrupted him again.
"Ah, you can take the two girls with you if they want to come along. But if not, they can go back now." Wang Haotian said, and his statement was meant for Setsuka and Kaede.
"Grandpa! Why did you let them into the apartment!? Wouldn't it be better to ask them to return to their homes since it's already late?" Wang Ruyue didn't want Setsuka to come with them and spend more time with Tenku.
"Yue'er. As a fellow woman, can't you feel how much she worried about that brat until she came to this apartment in the middle of the night? Do you have the heart to let her go home with a sad face?" Wang Haotian answered his granddaughter using telepathy as he didn't want Setsuka and Tenku to hear his words.
Wang Ruyue was silent and pondered over her grandfather's words. Then she glanced at Setsuka and saw her sad face. Wang Ruyue sighed and reluctantly followed Wang Haotian's words. She couldn't bear to let Setsuka back without letting her chat with Tenku.
"How about it, Yue'er?" Wang Haotian asked gently, but this time he didn't use telepathy.
"Okay. But it's up to her and not me to decide." Wang Ruyue replied and turned her eyes to Setsuka.
"How? Do you want to come with us or not? It's past midnight now. Is it okay if you don't return to your house?" Wang Ruyue asked. She hoped that Setsuka would refuse and return to her home. That way, she could chase Setsuka away without feeling guilty.
Setsuka didn't answer right away but looked at Kaede. She wanted to be with Tenku a little longer and discussed many things with him. But Setsuka had to ask her best friend's opinion first. If Kaede wanted to return, she wouldn't force her to come with her to Wang Haotian's apartment.
She wanted Kaede to accompany her because she was worried about letting her walk alone in the middle of the night. They have to go and come back together.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Of course, I will accompany you. I can't leave you and don't want to return alone." Kaede smiled, and she knew what her best friend was thinking.
"Thank You." Setsuka felt happy after hearing that. Afterward, she didn't look at Wang Ruyue but at Tenku.
"I will come with you. Is it okay?" Setsuka asked because she was afraid that Tenku wouldn't allow it.
"Of course, I don't mind if my master has agreed and you want to come with us." Tenku smiled in response to Setsuka's words and then turned his eyes to Wang Ruyue.
"Then, let's meet your grandfather now." Tenku said to Wang Ruyue, and the other party nodded. They moved into Wang Haotian's apartment. But before going there, Tenku returned to his apartment first to get his elixir.
Setsuka and Wang Ruyue accompanied him and supported him in walking. Tenku could only sigh when he saw them staring intently at each other from his right and left.
Inside Wang Haotian's apartment, Tenku and Wang Ruyue sat on the sofa while Setsuka and Kaede stood before the old man to introduce themselves.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Setsuka Fuyushima. Next to me is my best friend, Kaede Kobayashi." Setsuka introduced herself politely and bowed ninety degrees to wang Haotian.
He is the martial arts master of Tenku and can be considered a substitute for his parents. Setsuka was nervous as she stood in front of him.
"Nice to meet you!" Kaede also bowed to Wang Haotian and felt the same way as her best friend.
"I already know you two. So you don't need to be so polite to me. Please sit down and make yourselves comfortable in my little apartment." Wang Haotian smiled at the two girls and pointed at the sofa before him.
"Thank You!" Setsuka and Kaede bowed their heads to Wang Haotian and sat on the sofa he pointed at.
Tenku sat on the one-person sofa while the two girls jostled with Wang Ruyue. The girls pouted from being uncomfortable with the situation, but none complained.
"Alright. Can you tell me now about your tribulation? It seems you have caused quite a commotion in Tokyo." Wang Haotian sipped his tea and then looked at Tenku seriously.
