The Princess And The Lord

Su Miou Lin frowned unlike Fifth Elder, he didn't think the matter had to be that big and he thought his grandfather was just exaggerating the situation, she didn't care what people said because she knew the truth wasn't like that therefore her family should believe her.

"Why do you care what people say, who dares to say bad things to our family other than who cares if no one wants to marry me so what, I also don't want them either, I only want to marry Master Jin. Kai!" She raised her chin arrogantly with her arms folded in front of her chest.

"Are you out of your mind!" The Fifth Elder widened his eyes in disbelieve.

Su Feng and Su Sheng were also stupefied of how clueless Su Miou Lin was, but in Jin Hua's opinion, they shouldn't be so surprised since they raised her to be a simpleton and naive girl so what do they expect?

Like Jin Hao once said to her 'If you give banana you got monkey'

Su Feng then patiently tried to explain "Cousin, the problem is that Jin Kai is much older than you and he already has a concubine and child, he is no match for you"

Su Miou Lin thought that reason is ridiculous, thus she got angrier she waved her hand "But Master Jin Kai doesn't have an official wife yet so why can't I marry him, and what's wrong with the age difference as long as we love each other that shouldn't matter, there's a lot of couples who have a big age difference, anyway!" Su Miou Lin stamped her feet on the ground furiously, she didn't expect her family to reject her relationship with Jin Kai and she didn't understand why? isn't all of the women in the Misty Lake clan scrambling to marry the Jin family then why didn't her family want the same?

"Love?" A wave of helpless anger appeared on the old man's face, "What does a fourteen-year-old girl know about love!" he pointed his finger at Jin Hua "You really....really let me down!"

"Grandfather!" tears welled up in her eyes, in his entire life this was the first time her grandfather had scolded her this much even when she had a fight with one of the concubines of the Jin family her grandfather still defended her regardless, but now...

"I hate you, Grandfather!" Su Miou Lin covers her face and storms out of the main hall in tears.

"Cousin!"

"Lin'er!"

Su Feng and Su Sheng shout at the same time, the Fifth Elder watches her beloved granddaughter leave in tears he instantly feels regret for being too harsh on her, but that because the problem is much bigger than anyone could understand and the truth is his heart is worried for Su Miou Lin safety that's why he was so angry.

The Fifth Elder flick his sleeve and shook his head in remorse, everyone also feels dejected, they don't know Su Miou Lin will show such a strong reaction about Jin kai.

Jin Hua who was left out all alone look at them awkwardly "Uhm...."

They simultaneously looked at Jin Hua who was standing alone in the corner of the room, Jin Hua smiled awkwardly realizing that no one had noticed his presence until now, it was quite rude actually.

"Who are you?" Su Feng's face asked in a peremptory tone.

Jin Hua cupped her fists as she introduce herself politely "My name is Xiou Yan, I am the new disciple of the Third Elder" 

"You are Bu San Giu's disciple?" there was a tinge of disbelief and relief in the Fifth Elder's voice.

Jin Hua nodded with a smile "Yes, I came here because of Young Miss Su's invitation, she said she wanted to introduce me to you but I never thought…. I'm sorry." Jin Hua swallowed her words expressing her regret.

"No, it's not your fault…" Su Sheng waved his hand "It's our fault for not paying attention to you, it's not your fault at all" Su Sheng gave a conciliatory answer, it because they were too agitated that they didn't pay attention to the stranger that coming with Su Miou Lin honestly at first she thought Jin Hua was the new maid or something and he didn't bother to ask, so obviously it was their fault.

"How is that old man's condition right now?" The Fifth Elder suddenly asked.

Jin Hua didn't answer right away because he still had doubts about the Su family's stand in this whole situation, then she replied uncertainly, "Master is... alright"

The uncertainty in Jin Hua's voice made the Fifth Elder sigh deeply, "After what happened to his last disciple, I didn't think he would take another disciple again....well, it's a good thing" he muttered to himself.

Jin Hua furrowed her brows, Fifth Elder realized that he had spoken too much, he deliberately cleared his throat, "Well, I hope you can be filial to your master and you don't disappoint him"

"Yes of course…" Jin Hua bowed her head respectfully but then she glanced at the Fifth Elder inquisitively, "If I can dare….. may I know what happened to my master's last disciple…. "

Jin Hua actually knew who the third elder's disciple was and he had met her once, the disciple was roughly her age, she was taken five years ago by the Third Elder from the outside, the woman's name was Chi Zu and she was an orphan, people said that her village was attacked by a group of bandits and leaving Chi Zu as a lone survivor, she was later found by the Third Elder when she was dying, later the Third Elder saves her, he fixed her wound, gives her new name and made her as his disciple.

The Chi Zu in Jin Hua's memory is an ordinary woman, she is not too beautiful but not ugly either regardless she has an attractive smile and gentle eyes. 

Chi Zu is also not very talented in cultivation or martial arts she also didn't have any other skills like alchemy, armament master, array master, or a beastmaster so she is quite mediocre, therefore some people questioned why Third Elder raised a disciple like Chi Zu because when compared to the other Third Elder disciples and his family Chi Zu's abilities paled in comparison.

However, the Third Elder didn't seem to care he still loved Chi Zu like his own granddaughter but then three years ago out of nowhere suddenly Chi Zu died in her own room, some say it was because she was practicing forbidden art that caused her to dead but other said she took her own life because she can't handle the pressure for being the Third Elder disciple, in the end, both rumors were strongly denied by the Third Elder himself, still and all, now no one knows what really happened to Chi Zu.

The Fifth Elder and Su Sheng exchanged wary glances, they looked hesitant but then Jin Hua sincerely pleaded, "Please…I wonder if there is a knot in my master's heart that I need to know" Jin Hua's quiet voice, thick with genuine concern for the third elder.

Her sincerity make the Fifth Elder silent, to be honest, he also didn't know what was really going on at that time but the Third elders changed ever since his last disciple died and that's when he started to distance himself from Jin Kai even though it wasn't that conspicuous but he slowly withdrew himself under the pretext of concentrating on his cultivation and not long after the rest of his family also began to withdraw and not meddle in the clan matters so much anymore.

Some people said it was the Third Elder's form of support for Jin Kai by not interfering with Jin Kai's decisions but the fifth elder thought differently, even though he often fought with the Fifth Elder but that didn't mean he hated that old third on the contrary he might be the only person in the clan That makes him comfortable to talk and acted as he pleases.

Therefore the Fifth Elder knew very well the Third Elder characters, he knew that if the third elder agreed to something he will not beat around the bush instead he will stand with that decision and went head-on regardless of what happened but his attitude towards Jin Kai was different, he did not hinder Jin Kai's decision by he also did not support  Jin Kai decision either and that was very strange in the eyes of the Fifth Elder.

And that's when the Fifth Elder took the same steps as the Third Elder and he started to have a suspicion about Jin Kai especially about his collaboration with Lao Min Na.

He knew from the first moment she saw Lao Min Na's pretty face that this girl was bad - bad news.
