"…and my master died teaching me little things to live by." Xiulan spoke as she and Wu Che picked all the bags and walked behind Grandfather An who was eating grapes.
Grandfather An listened carefully to find something wrong about the story but it seemed to fill every space to which he agrees.
She was picked up by an old lady who was in reality a great martial art teacher and was taught everything by her. she stayed and studied with her but suddenly she caught a disease and died when Xiulan was seven and from then on Xiulan was alone and had no one around her. There were two wolves who were with her but she had to leave them in the forest only because of how that man kidnapped her.
Grandfather An stopped and looked at the market that they have reached and chose a restaurant to eat food.
Xiulan looked at the clothes that the villagers were wearing and found them more comfortable than her own.
Grandfather An also noticed her looking at the villagers and thought that she disdained them but her eyes showed mere curiosity when she suddenly looked at him with her innocent eyes.
"Grandfather, you are so nice. I-" grandfather An cut her in the middle saying "Speak normally."
Xiulan's lips twitched and she drawled lazily "I want clothes like how the villagers are wearing."
Grandfather An noticed their clothes and nodded at Xiulan and gave her money to buy the clothes while sending Little Che with her.
Wu Che took her to a cloth shop and let her choose whatever she wanted. Xiulan looked around the shop when a girl entered in the shop.
Jingfei looked at the girl wearing a beautiful blue dress that looked extremely different from what she had seen in the village. She wondered where the girl came from. She also looked rich enough to buy the whole store, so why such a girl would enter such small village store? She absolutely had no answer.
Jingfei thought of how she can benefit from this rich girl as whoever is richer than required, they mostly has only one problem, that is overestimating themselves.
Jingfei moved towards the girl who was looking for dresses and said "Pink colour would definitely suit you more."
Xiulan turned to see a girl as she heard a very smooth advising given to her without her asking. She looked at the girl from up to down and nodded her head once acting all aloof as she has read in books.
No matter how bold, smart and cheerful you are, always remember to be aloof to outsiders, at least to white lotuses.
Jingfei's smile dimmed as she noticed the girl look at her with disinterest. Normally, whenever she smiled at anyone innocently, they would return her smile nicely but this rich girl just nodded, moreover she had the audacity to turn around and ignore her! How dare she!
Jingfei coughed and again smiled and said "You are new here, right?"
Xiulan again looked at her and merely nodded before going back to picking dresses. This lass is irritating.
"You are, since I have never seen you before. I know everyone here, if you ever need help come to me." Jingfei said ignoring Xiulan's reaction completely.
Xiulan looked at her again and nodded simply before picking out a blue robe with white pants and shirt. They were clothes for both males and females.
She will be completely comfortable wearing these rather than her long robes and inner skirts and high collar dresses.
She looked at senior brother Che and he paid for the clothes and both of them left ignoring the irritating little girl.
Little Che should be called senior brother Che as grandfather An has told her that little Che is his disciple. He learned cultivating technique from grandfather An.
Grandfather considers this guy his grandson after An Jinhai, her elder brother.
"We shall leave now, junior sister." Wu Che said as she stopped walking and reminded her. Xiulan looked at him and nodded her head.
