188 The Place where It Started (1/2)

Guo Village

Jun Hua's carriage arrived at a small village in a mountain far away from the capital of Ming Kingdom. This area was still considered part of Ming Kingdom, but it was a less developed place and there were rarely any people coming. The condition of the villagers was also not that good, which make this place unpopular with people.

The coming of such a grand carriage caused the villager to come out from their house because of interest. Jun Hua smiled at the sight, she remembered some of them.

The carriage stopped in front of a small training hall. This training hall was truly small and only a pitiful number of people come here. Most of them were small children, but there were some older people there. They are busy training until they see that grand carriage stopping in front of their master training hall.

A petite girl came out. She walked slowly and gracefully, making the people here stunned. Where had they got the chance to see someone this beautiful and elegant? The figure looked like a fairy from dreams.

Jun Hua smiled at the sight in front of her. The people can't see it because of her veil and if they do, they might pass out from shock. ”Pat, is Master Kan here?”

One of the men gaped at that question. He's a 17 year old boy who trains here, but he didn't know how this pretty lady can know his name. Moreover, why did her voice seem familiar?

”Yes, he's inside. May I know your name?”

”Tell him, Hua'er has returned.”

”Hua'er?” Pat almost screamed that name out. He looked at Jun Hua closely and almost cannot believe his eyes. The little 'boy' at that time is her? She looked completely different, now that she was wearing a dress and her demeanor changed.

Jun Hua smiled. ”Have you forgotten about me, Pat?”

Pat shakes his head. ”Not even once.”

How could he forget his devilish training partner who would train until she was worn out, but never give up at all? The little girl who is younger than him, but had determination to not lose which made him lost to a kid. A kid who is so strong that even their master barely kept up when she reached nine.

”Wait over here…” Pat had just wanted to call the master when the door behind them opened and a middle-age man appeared.

The man, Den Kan, was the master of this training hall. He was a soldier in the past, but due to some circumstances, he can't return. Because of that, he built a training hall in a small village and taught them how to use sword and all.

Den Kan stared at the figure before him. A student had come to him telling him that a pretty lady was searching for him. This person before him is not only pretty, but peerless beauty.

”Den Kan welcomes you here, Miss.”

Jun Hua smiled wryly. ”Master Kan, do you also forget about me?”

Den Kan almost fell because of that voice. The voice was soft and soothing, but hidden a sharp feeling. He was not surprised by the beauty of that word, but rather because he knew that voice. It's the voice of that worn-out little girl who came to him to learn martial arts.

”Hua'er,” Den Kan said slowly. He would never think that this student that he accepted years ago would turn out to be a noble. Furthermore, the little duck had turned into swan whose presence cannot be ignored anymore.

”Yes Master Kan. Hua'er is here.”

”Unbelievable…” Den Kan said in surprised tone. ”Do you… want to go inside?”

”Sure.”

Den Kan looked towards Pat and signaled that boy to start training. He showed the way to an empty room where there is nothing there.

”I will get some chair…”

”It's alright Master Kan. We can just sit on the floor,” Jun Hua didn't mind.

Den Kan wanted to protest, but since Jun Hua had said that and took the initiative to sit down first, he can only complied. Taking a seat before the lady, he found out that even the way of this girl conduct had changed drastically.
