Characters Present

Phoenix

Lin Zhaoyu

Su Mei

Start

The Immortal Phoenix came back with a young girl. Lin Zhaoyu was surprised.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

She's special.

🔇 N/A

The Phoenix responded to her astonishment.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

Unpack her things, find a place for her, and teach her the Blade Swara.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

But she's so young...

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

She can talk and she knows how to read.

🔇 N/A

The Phoenix pointed at the child. The girl, however, looked towards the sky and was enthralled by something else.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

She's special.

🔇 N/A

The Phoenix repeated those words again.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

I've prepared a place for the little one. She's a stubborn girl. I only got her to sleep with some candy.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

Good.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

Are you going to adopt her, Empyrea?

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

Perhaps.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

......

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu glanced outside the door and asked softly:

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

Her parents...

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

Dead.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu knew what the word meant.

🔇 N/A

3 months passed.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

The child is a fast learner. She made astounding progress in Blade Mantra in these three months.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

I've said it before. She's special.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

Haha... and it took me almost two years... I guess I am not smart enough...

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

You started late and I wasn't teaching you properly.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

......

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

We should give her a name, Empyrea...

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

How did you get your name?

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu did not expect this question. She lowered her head after a brief silence.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

My father paid a scholar for words from the Book of Odes. Zhaoyu, the morning rain, the bringer of rainbows...

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

Then it's decided.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

Go and buy the Book of Odes.

🔇 N/A

The Immortal Phoenix ordered Lin Zhaoyu to bring the girl to Taixuan Temple.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

She'll take your surname. Lin. What do you think?

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

Ah... I...

🔇 N/A

Little Girl

I have my own surname.

🔇 N/A

The girl suddenly spoke.

🔇 N/A

Little Girl

It's Su. That's my mother's surname. I shall take her name for myself.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

......

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

What is your name?

🔇 N/A

Little Girl

My dad named me, but I'll not call myself that.

🔇 N/A

The Phoenix flip opened the Book of Odes and came to the Air of Qin: Reeds by the River.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

"The one you seek waits by the Mei of the river..." Mei... do you like this word?

🔇 N/A

Little Girl

Mei of the river? What does that mean?

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

The Mei of the river is the old word for the riverbanks, the place where water and land meets.

🔇 N/A

Little Girl

The place where water and land meets...

🔇 N/A

The girl thought about the word for a while.

🔇 N/A

Little Girl

I'm neither land nor water, not a farmer nor a fisher, someone who can't rely on anyone...

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

You don't like it? I'll find another word, then.

🔇 N/A

Little Girl

It's alright. I'll take it.

🔇 N/A

The girl glanced at the Phoenix. She then walked towards Lin Zhaoyu and bowed deeply.

🔇 N/A

Little Girl

Greetings, Zhaoyu. I am Su Mei.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu did not know how to respond, but the Empyrea closed the Book of Odes and looked as cold as ever.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

Su... Mei... you should only pay your respects to the Empyrea. She'll be your parent from now on.

🔇 N/A

The girl stood up and exclaimed:

🔇 N/A

Little Girl

I won't forgive my mother's murder! The Empyrea is no parent of mine. Chase me away or enslave me. It matters not!

🔇 N/A

The young girl's words rang as loud as steel. Lin Zhaoyu did not expect her to act this way.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

I'll neither chase you away nor enslave you. I only want you to master the Blade of Taixuan and fight monsters.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

Your decision to respect me or not matters little.

🔇 N/A

The Phoenix closed her eyes and said nothing more. The girl stood there frowning while Lin remained silent.

🔇 N/A

Little Girl

My mother's murderer is no parent of mine, but I must repay you for your kindness, Empyrea.

🔇 N/A

Little Girl

A teacher must be given proper title. I, Su Mei, hereby acknowledge you as my Master.

🔇 N/A

Su Mei then knelt and prostrated herself before the Phoenix.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

......

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu looked displeased as though something bothered her deeply.

🔇 N/A

The Phoenix knew the reason and called her name.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

Zhaoyu.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

Yes, Master...

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

Come here.

🔇 N/A
