Master, Wait for Me (Yun Zai)

Born into a family of scholars? Boring! Studying and practicing martial arts? Cliche! The family falls on hard times? Melodramatic! Reduced to being an assassin... Okay, that's a pretty common cliche. Too bad he was raised so well that before killing anyone, he always had to figure out right from wrong. What a stickler! Too bad he was bound by a contract of indenture before he could even get started. His master was peerlessly graceful, as if from heaven. At last, his life had veered off the well-worn path of cliches. "Master, wait for me!" "Master, don't go..." Oh, contract of indenture, what a magical thing you are. His best years, at the tender age of twenty-one... He, he actually got confined here like this? Outrageous! Absurd! ...What could he do? He hadn't had the best eye for people at first sight, but still chased after them with all his might, only to have that contract of indenture clutched in their hand. What? Steal it? Buy it? Burn it? How do you know he hadn't tried stealing it, buying it, or burning it... All right, he really hadn't tried burning it, because someone else had already burned it. Xiao Zheng said: Master, wait for me! The master said: I've been right here all along.
