Watching Gu Hua's performance, An Haden smiled. "You've done a good job out there but it looks like you had offended all of the General's Household again. It's a rather dangerous spot for you to return to now."
"Since I've come out, I never had any plans on returning to the General's Household as for Gu Ming it would be best if he stays in General's Household till I returned."
Gu Hua's eyes were cold. Even if she were to tell General Gu that she wasn't trash, it was unlikely that anything would change. He had always despised her since the day she was born. But it was different for Gu Ming since he was the only heir of General's household.
An Haden's smile widened, "Well if wifey has nowhere to go, then my An manor will always welcome you."
"You still want to marry me don't you love your life" Gu Hua raised her eyebrows and asked.
An Haden bent his body moving close to her ear as he slowly replies in a serious manner "No I only love you"
Gu Hua had a rare blush on her face. An Haden saying words of love in such a deadly serious manner and it was in front of so many people, even if Gu Hua was calm, she felt somewhat shy.
As they chattered, the drafting feast had finally came to an end. Gu Hua chose not to return with General Gu and the others, but instead with An Haden.
"Wifey, how about you stay in An manor from now?" An Haden blinked, his voice full of smiles.
Gu Hua tossed a glance at him, "Not interested."
Finished speaking, she turned back and ignored him, directly going back to the General's Household.
This time, she only wanted to pack her things together. There was no more meaning in continuing to stay at the General's Household.
An Haden watched Gu Hua's figure disappear off into the distance, a trace of seriousness present on his handsome face.
'It's haven't been long and I started to miss you already'
.....
Yesterday Gu Hua had left General's Household after saying farewell to Gu Ming for demon forest.
After travelling for the whole night, she had finally arrived at the nearest town outside the capital.
Sunshine City.
On both sides of the street, there were many shops. The dusky afterglow of the sunset lightly sprinkled on the red brick, green tiles or on top the brightly coloured pavilion cornices, adding a bit of haziness and poetic quality to the prosperous Sunshine City.
Gu Hua needed to establish her own power. Since she currently possesses the new ideologies from the 22nd century, then she could start from business and hold the economic lifeline in order to control her own destiny. No matter where it was, money was an indispensable must.
What she needed most now was her own subordinates, but this couldn't be rushed. Fortunately, she was only fourteen years old. Many things could be taken slowly.
"Beat him"
"Break his legs"
"Beat this bastard to death"
At the moment Gu Hua passed by a small alley, she heard the sounds of beating and verbal abuse from inside. Leaping onto the wall of the alley, Gu Hua observed the scene happening on the ground.
They were all children, at least in Gu Hua's eyes, they were still children. Several fifteen or sixteen years old, robust boys were kicking a fourteen-year-old boy who had fallen to the ground. Gu Hua observed while listening to these boy's verbal insults.
Gu Hua even noticed when every time those children cursed the boy on the ground a "bastard", the boy on the ground would reveal a fierce wolf-like expression in his eyes. The hatred in his eyes was very agreeable to Gu Hua. She liked people who refuse to admit defeat and were stubborn.
In the process of being beaten, although the boy tried to fight back and escape many times, but to no avail. But even so, the boy did not seem to give up planning an escape.
The courage of the few boys was getting bigger and bigger, one boy picked up a stick while other picked up a stone from the ground to smash it towards the head of the boy on the ground. Even if he did not die from this blow, but it will surely lead him to traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury.
The boy on the ground did not even faint or close his eyes, he just looked at his bullies with wide eyes, but the despair that flashed within those eyes did not escape Gu Hua's notice.
The moment the boys were going to land another blow, with the slight moment of Gu Hua's hand the boys were encircled by many types of swords floating in the air.
"Scram!" an ice-cold voice sounded as Gu Hua wearing a black hooded cape stood in front of the boy and reprimanded the several other boys.
Seeing Gu Hua standing there and the swords encircling them seems to have frightened the life out of boys as all of them ran for their dear life without looking back.
Gu Hua did not even look at those boys, turned around and looked towards the boy on the ground.
"What is your name?" Gu Hua asked the boy on the ground.
This boy was very thin, looked frail and weak, and the contours of his face was not very symmetrical, but quite handsome, even has an eagle-hook nose. Brown hair grew very low, covering most of the forehead. A pair of big, black eyes looked very lovable, but when it was angry, it flashed with the most ferocious hateful expression, showing its fierceness.
"I don't have a name" the boy's mood seemed very low when speaking about his lack of a name.
"Will you come with me?" Gu Hua extended her very small but white as white-jade hand.
The boy looked at the hand stretched out in front of his eyes, seemed to see the future, but glanced at his dark, dirty hands and lowered his head. Gu Hua did not press. The boy wiped his hand on his own dirty clothes, then placed his hand in Gu Hua's hand, his expression firm, said "Alright!"
"From today, your name shall be Li Qing and I am sure that you will carry it with pride in the future," Gu Hua said her tone of voice was filled with seriousness.
He is going to be the blade she needed, a blade that could break open a way through any obstacle.
"Master, I, Li Qing will pledge my life and loyalty to you henceforth" Li Qing's hand was still in Gu Hua's hand as he knelt on the ground and respectfully said. This girl is his redemption, his master. He will no longer be the "bastard" everyone hates. He had his own name. He was called Li Qing.
"No need to pledge your life." Gu Hua smiled
"As long as you stay by my side I will never let you die."
"Also, don't address yourself as a servant. I prefer if you call yourself my subordinate. What do you think?"
"Yes, Li Qing understands." Li Qing smiled from his heart as the look in his eyes changed from respect to determination. At that moment he resolutely decided that in life or death, heaven or hell, no matter what he will always follow his master.
"Li Qing I want you to stay here in an inn until you are completely healed and when all your injuries are healed come and meet me in Demon Forest. Your training will officially begin there." Gu Hua said handing over a money pouch to him.
"Yes, Li Qing understands" Li Qing nodded his head in approval. What his young miss is saying, he understood a little.
For him to become strong enough to be able to protect young miss, first he needs to take care of his health and injuries.
