"Mean old man." Yang Ying kicked the wall. "I will kick your butt one day."132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKh9mSLxz1
She looked and whined a long breath.
"Three months," she said in a boring tone and blew another breath before she walked into the space.

Lunch time arrived, but the food didn't come. Yang Ying waited until noon passed, then she heard footsteps outside. When she opened the door, she found a basket on the ground.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYJj3UaG2H
The girl checked, there was food, water and fruit.
"Perhaps they know they are late, that's why they give me a lot like this," she said and brought the basket into the room.

Five days already she was locked in the area of the east.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86lQBDiQsd
No one came to see her. Even the person who delivered the meal to her, she didn't know who they were.
Yang Ying wanted to see them and had a chit chat with them but they came and went like a flash. Though she tried to wait to meet them, she still didn't catch them.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rHD7faMZS
Life was boring. It looked like she was living alone on the whole mountain.
One afternoon, Yang Ying was bored, so she came out. When she was sitting on the plinth before the door, Bai Xiao Feng appeared with a basket in her hand.
"Yang Ying," she said with a smile.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSeS3NPR7F
"Sixth master," Yang Ying called.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq2FxLmkb9
"I brought you some cakes," Bai Xiao Feng said and sat next to the girl. She took a plate of cakes out of the busket and handed it and Yang Ying received it.
"Thank you," she said and ate it quietly.
"Today is our sect's memorial day. I was busy so I didn't come to visit you. The event was just finished, so I hurriedly came here," Bai Xiao Feng said.
Yang Ying didn't say a word. She continued eating until the cake was finished.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcXpLUxcIt
"How are you doing?" Bai Xiao Feng asked.
"I'm good, just a little bit bored." Yang Ying dropped her face. "No one came here. Only you."
Bai Xiao Feng smiled, "They were busy. They will come soon."
Yang Ying raised her face and called, "Master."
"Yes!"
"I didn't steal his money and I didn't accuse your son."
Bai Xiao Feng just gave a smile but her smile was not happy at all.
"I can swear. I really saw him meeting with my eldest senior."
"Though I believe you, it has no use because you don't have anything to prove it."
Hearing that, Yang Ying sighed. The master was right; she had no evidence or witness, how could she clear her name?
"Forget about it," Bai Xiao Feng motivated. "Consider that you are taking a special class. Here, there are a lot of books, you can read and study from them. If you like, I can suggest some books that I have read."
"I know not all the letters."
"What's about writing?"
"Poor as the same as reading."
"Then I can come here to teach you reading and writing when I am free."
"I want to learn martial arts."
"Well," Bai Xiao Feng hesitated, "you are a disciple of the Left Palace. I cannot teach you martial arts."
"But the master said she didn't want me to return to her palace," Yang Ying said in a sad tone.
"Let's do this." Bai Xiao Feng held the hand of the girl. "I cannot teach you sword but I can teach you some basics. It's not wrong with the rule of the sect."
"Great." Yang Ying clapped with a smile of joy. "You are pretty and kind. That's why the fifth teacher loves you."
Bai Xiao Feng grinned her cheeks up, "Your mouth is sweet. Who teaches you?"
"I learnt while I worked in Wan Hua Lou."
"Was it tiring working there?"
"Not at all." Yang Ying shook her head. "Most of all, we stayed late at night and we got up late in the morning. Just some days when the stuff was about to run out of stock, I needed to get up early to help buy the stuff."
"Did you get a salary?"
"No. Mother Wang said because I lived in her house and ate her food, so I had to work to pay her. My money source was the tip from the male clients who were going to Wan Hua Lou. They gave it to me when I brought food or wine to them."
"Did they give you much?"
"It depends. But most of the time, I got a good amount because I usually praised them, they were happy, so they gave me money, then I saved it."
"What about your parents?"
"They died when I was about ten years old because of wild robbers."
"Don't you have relatives?"132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M7ogqvsRG
"I have, but after my parents died, everyone came to divide my parents' property and sent me to live with one of uncles. That uncle had a wife and children. He and his wife forced me to serve their kids and gave me a lot of work to do and they scolded me and beat me everyday, so I ran away and met with the crew of Wan Hua Lou, then they agreed to take me with them."132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUiGh5TSsR
Yang Ying dropped her face after she narrated this part.
"My poor baby," Bai Xiao Feng said, then she ran her hand gently over the head of the girl.
"Can I hug you?." Yang Ying raised up and stated.
Hearing this made the heart of Bai Xiao Feng feel very sweet.
"Yes." She nodded.
With a big smile, Yang Ying jumped to embrace her female master.
"You are as warm as my mother," she stated and tightened her arms.
The same, the wife of Gao Zhang Shan hugged the girl with love from the bottom of her heart. In her life, she always wanted a daughter, but she got a son. Now it seemed heaven was nice to her by giving her this little girl. She was really thankful for this gift.
While the two females were having a warm time together, at the corner, the head of Purple Jade was standing and watching over them. In his left palm there was a bag which he put some cakes into.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aVnmOcvtQ
On the court day, he shouted at Yang Ying to shut up, he didn't mean it, he just wanted to help her. If he did not do that, she would continue saying words that caused people more anger, then he would not be able to keep her in the sect. However he did not feel well that he raised voice at her, so he brought cakes to her as an apology.
When he arrived, he saw Bai Xiao Feng was with her and he also heard her life story making his heart sad and fall heavier on her.
Not only him; on the other side, Gong Xun was watching over his top senior. He saw his brother's eyes looking at the lassie and also saw the bag in his hand which he could guess that his senior wanted to give it to Yang Ying. Seeing that, his mind was filled with jealousy.
Suddenly, a male disciple ran to report, "Sect master, there is trouble."
"What is it?" Bai Bingwen asked.
"The evil sect is attacking our mountain."
At that moment, Bai Xiao Feng heard it. She released the girl and hurriedly came to her senior. Even Gong Xun also came to join them.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZLOLAzxVc
"Does the evil sect attack us?" Bai Xiao Feng said.
"Yes, they are attacking our front gate. Third master and fifth master are going to see," the disciple said.
"Let go," Bai Bingwen stated, then all of them left - only Yang Ying standing with a question in her head.
'Why did the sect leader master and fourth master come here?'132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8MgGwBZkQ
