The Princess And The Lord

"Wait, who are you, why I've never seen you before?" one of the maids stopped Jin Hua from getting closer to the pavilion, she stare at Jin Hua suspiciously.

Jin Hua bowed her head politely "My name is….Xiou Yan" Jin Hua blushed a little, she didn't know why she chose one of Bei Li Yan's character names, or maybe she knew she was too embarrassed to admit it.

"I'm the new disciple of the third elder, I came here a few days ago but I didn't have time to look around and I stumbled into this beautiful garden and saw the lady, I didn't mean to disturb them" Jin Hua lowered her head looking regretful and sad when he turned around suddenly someone called him.

"Aren't you the third elder's new disciple, what are you doing here?" Su Miao Lin walked towards her with her maid holding her hand to help her walk as if she had a problem with her leg, but Jin Hua knew she had no problem.

Jin Hua cupped her buttocks and lowered her head deeply, "Answer young miss, my name is Xiao Yan, I am the new disciple of the third elder" he replied politely.

Su Miao Lin observed Jin Hua's appearance carefully, luckily Jin Hua was wearing a leather mask so Su Miou Lin didn't recognize her at all.

Su Miou Lin lost her interest in Jin Hua's mediocre appearance, but the other girl didn't feel the same, she suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, are you from outside?" he asked excitedly.

"Ye...yes, I am" Jin Hua replied shyly.

"Where do you come from?" the girl's eyes lit up.

Jin Hua remembered this girl talking about Sun Jan city immediately Jin Hua replied with a calm smile "I am from Sun Jan city young lady"

The faces of the three girls including Su Miou Lin were beaming with joy, they had heard how beautiful the city was surrounded by hundreds of canals and rivers, everyone said that the street was lined with peach blossom trees and everywhere you went you would find small bridges that connect the roads and small boats with silk curtains will slowly pass under the bridge, and everyone who lives there always dressed beautifully and very fashionable, they all very cultured and refined some say many famous poets came from Sun Jan city, they say it's all because Sun Jan city was one of the most beautiful cities in Xing Fang continent.

Therefore, the three girls who had never left their clan were eager to visit Sun Jan city and see the rumor was true or not. Unfortunately due to the many things that had happened recently they were not allowed to step outside the Misty Lake Clan territory.

"Sister Su, please let Miss Xiou Yan stay. I want to hear stories about the city of Sun Jan!" she whined at Su Miou Lin.

Actually, Su Miou Lin was also curious but she pretended not to care "Up to you" she shrugged nonchalantly and turn around and walk back to the pavilion cooly.

"That's great!" the two girls cheered then one of them grabbed Jin Hua's hand impatiently, "Miss Xiao Yan please come with us, tell us more about Sun Jan city!"

"O....oh, of course," Jin Hua doesn't expect it would be this easy. 

Once they gathered, they asked about the scenery in Sun Jan city, they wanted to know if it was as good as people said, then the conversation moves to the jewelry, clothes, trinkets, desserts, and everything that young girls were most interested in, Jin Hua patiently replied their questions and exaggerating a few things just to gain their attention.

Jin Hua introduced herself as the daughter of a small restaurant in Sun Jan city, she was raised by her father who unfortunately died from illness and the restaurant went bankrupt after that, the third elder felt sorry for her and realized that she had quite the talent. therefore he took him as a disciple and brought her to the Misty Lake clan.

This was a background story that was made between Jin Hua and the third elder which was then passed on to Lan Hua just in case someone from the Misty Lake clan investigated her background.

When the girls heard Jin Hua's story they immediately gave comforting words out of politeness even though they didn't really care since they didn't know Jin Hua, and they only talked to her because they were interested in Sun Jan city and they were very bored.

Jin Hua also knows this, the truth is Jin Hua is quite familiar with these young girls' faces, she remembered she had seen these girls before during the big clan gatherings that were held every year, it's like a big celebration in the Misty Lake clan where everyone invited. Jin Hua does not surprised how gullible they were to the outside world, after all, they are just spoiled innocent young girls who don't know how lucky they are for not being a cultivator or at least not a talented one because if they were they might also consume the pill that Lao Min Na made and later be sent into the whispering forest just like the others.

Sometimes ignorance is bliss until it bites you right of your ass.

Jin Hua turned his head and saw a man in a dark blue outer robe combine with a white robe walking towards them, he had long hair adorned with a small jade crown to tie half of his hair, his movements were elegant yet firm and his whole demeanor exude with noble aura, one will not make mistake thinking he just an ordinary man.

The girls suddenly stopped their conversation as they stared at him in obvious admiration in their face, only Jin Hua slightly furrowed her brows because unlike these young girls she could see the hidden malice behind his charming smile. The girls quickly got up from their seats and saluted the man in a friendly manner "Greetings first master" the women said in unison and Jin Hua followed them as well, she deliberately lowered her head further to hide the utter disgust on her face.

When she returned to the Misty Lake clan, she had just heard that Jin kai tittle himself as the first master, even though he wasn't. Jin Hao and Jin kai Father's name Jin Gu, and he has many wives, Jin hao and Jin Kai are not his only Sons for he had other sons before them even though the first son died when he was young but the first master title should not belong to Jin Kai, however, Jin Gu was still undergoing closed-door training for two years, therefore, the reins of leadership fell to Jin Hao and since then he bestowed on himself the title of first master and no one dared to rebuke him, still, Jin Hua doesn't know how Jin Hao will explain himself when Jin Gu comes out of his closed-door training.

Meanwhile, Su Miou Lin's face lit up when Jin Kai's gaze fell on her, she used to think Jin Kai would marry Lao Min Na considering their closeness but unexpectedly Lao Min Na left, and recently Jin Kai paid more attention to her, Su Miou Lin wonder is this because she had grown up so Jin kai started to see her as a grown woman.

Su Miou Lin's cheeks turned red then she lowered her head shyly, Jin Kai smiled in satisfaction at the young girl's reaction while Jin Hua's face grew darker. 

Although there are indeed many men who marry young women but the distance between Su Miou lin and Jin Kai is almost like father and daughter and don't forget Jin Kai already has a concubine and child, Jin Hua heart ached for the immature young woman like Su Miou Lin, if only she knew what Jin Kai had done Jin Hua was certain Su Miao Lin will be appalled by the truth she might unable to stand in the same room with Jin Kai.

"Miss Su, you look really pretty today," said Jin Kai in a soft voice.

The complement that suddenly made her shy she replied shyly "T…thank you for your compliment, first master"

The other girls looked at Su Miou Lin with envy, no matter what Jin Hua thought of Jin Kai, undeniably Jin kai was a handsome man in his prime, he had power, authority, and a limitless future one could only dream of.

If someone marries someone like Jin Kai they believe their life will be filled with glory, honor, and respect from all the people around them and women will look at them in envy, therefore, they don't care how old or how many women Jin Kai has, it doesn't matter either if Jin Kai has children or not after all people say if you marry a dog you become a dog but if you marry a dragon you can become a dragon too so why worry about small things.

Suddenly jin kai eyes dart on the unknown woman  he had never seen before, "This one, who are you?" Jin Kai stares suspiciously at Jin Hua.

Jin Hua quickly cupped his fists and lowered his head deeply until his chin was against his chest, "Answer the first master, My name is Xiao Yan, I am third master's new disciple" Jin Hua replied easily.

Jin Kai furrowed his brows after what happened recently he was prone not to trust people easily "Raise your head up!" he command firmly.

Jin Hua's heart instantly pounding like a small drum, she subconsciously held her hand tightly as she slowly raised her head and Jin Kai's eyes fell on her, Jin Hua suddenly found it difficult to breathe then Jin Kai walked towards her step by step, and her heart dreads with horror with every step he takes. 

Jin Hua gulped nervously and Jin kai stopped his steps just a meter away from him.
