The Yu Family's sword technique is only passed down to the direct descendants, and my great-uncle's branch is indeed a direct line.
Years ago, Wang Jin came to the Yu Family, seeking a Yu daughter to serve as a personal guard for his granddaughter. He evaluated all the daughters from collateral branches, ultimately selecting Liuli. Liuli's parents, having only one daughter, did not agree. Later, under pressure from the clan and considering that their daughter would be with Miss Ling from the Ling Family, not as a slave or maid but as a playmate and guard from childhood, they found it acceptable. So, in the end, they agreed.
It was said that Liuli would guard Ling Hua until she turned fourteen and then return to the Yu Family, but as Liuli grew up, she no longer wished to return. Ling Hua and Liuli, having grown up together, were used to each other's company, so if Liuli didn't go back, Ling Hua wouldn't let her leave.
But now, the Yu Family forcibly came to take her away.
