" Daddy, can I do whatever I want now that Qia Yun is gone?" Qia Zi asked excitedly." Of course, do you want her jewellery? Take them all, it doesn"t matter anymore since you are my only daughter!" General Qia replied, laughing happily.
Madam Qia smiled coyly, "Don"t take them, Mum and Dad will buy you nicer jewellery! If i don"t, my name will not be Hu Jing! But make sure to take the Mother Pearl, that beautiful thing was wasted on her! Only you, my daughter, is worthy of that precious treasure!"
Qia Zi quickly rummaged through the pile of jewellery that once belonged to Qia Yun, looking for the pink and blue pearl that she always loved, however, the pearl was nowhere to be seen.
Qia Zi raised her eyebrows in surprise, where was the pearl? General Qia, noticing that his precious daughter had stopped rummaging through the jewels, asked what the problem was.
" The Mother Pearl is gone!" Madam Qia exclaimed loudly before panicking and bursting into tears. General Qia sighed and comforted Madam Qia.
" It seems like that stupid girl took the pearl along with her to die, what a waste of a perfectly good pearl!" General Qia explained to his daughter and wife.

Hearing that the pearl was gone, Qia Zi started kicking her legs and screaming for the pearl, messing up her delicately decorated hair and causing her dress to crumple.
While the family was crying, Xiao Li stood at a corner. She clenched her fists, upset that Miss Qia Yun"s father would kill his own daughter and not feel anything while just because his other daughter didn"t get her jewellery, his heart broke. Xiao Li smiled bitterly and disappeared into the shadows, leaving the Qia family to their grief over a pearl.
Xiao Li walked slowly back to Miss Qia Yun"s room, sighing heavily, feeling that Qia Yun died a wrongful death. She whipped out her sword ready to join Miss Qia Yun in the underworld.
" s.n.a.t.c.h!" Xiao Li"s delicate sword was s.n.a.t.c.hed out of the air.
" Who"s there!"
A man wearing black from head to toe appeared in front of her, replying casually, " Me" while holding out her sword.
Xiao Li s.n.a.t.c.hed her sword back before spinning it around leaving its tip pointed straight at the man"s neck vein.
He laughed as if he wasn"t intimidated by the sword that could end his life quickly. His arms still behind him as if he was on a stroll.
" Who are you?" Xiao Li asked warily.
" I"ll tell you if you can beat me in a sword fight!"
" Then, bye. I have no use of knowing your name anyway."
" Hold on, fine, I"ll tell you who I am!"
Xiao Li paused for a moment before turning her free hand to indicate to him to speak.
" I"m Li You!" He continued, " And if you put that sword away, maybe I can sit and continue as my legs are wearily from standing!"
Xiao Li examined him before nodding and sheathing her sword away.
