The wooden puppet approached one of the disciples who have just made an attack. He held the hand of the 12-year-old, a girl named Ji Lien. A country girl from a small town in Deer County.
She came from a family of five younger brothers; she ate less to leave food for her brothers and mother. By chance or fate, she got a job as a blacksmith's assistant, she didn't carry any weight, but she helped the blacksmith to put the jewels and cores on the weapons with her small, delicate fingers. From 10 to 12 years old, she worked hard to help the family, the job wasn't difficult and the blacksmith was a kind person.
It was these contacts with nuclei of beasts and items with Qi that made Ji Lien's body nourish little by little. She herself didn't notice anything, but one day when she was going to be robbed taking the blacksmith's purchases, she ended up hitting the bandit and defeating him with just a push.
