Beijinglia finds a rare painting about Tiger Valley in Master Xiao's Temple. She told her mother about it.
She said, "Mom, it was so beautiful painting. Master said that it has something uncommon which was only for me."
"He gives you all the respect. Do Master Xiao asked you about that uncommon thing?" Her mother asked.
"Yes mom. But I couldn't find it." Beijinglia said.
"Okay that's fine. Well, you have now completed all your project work?" Her mom asked.
"Yeah mom, now I don't have any. I am free now." Beijinglia said.
"That's nice. Go for sleep now, it is late night." Her mother said.
"Okay mom, but I have a question?" Beijinglia said.
"Fine, ask me that." Mother replied.
"Mother, whenever I meet with Xiao, he used to ask about you first. But this time, he won't. What could be the reason?" Beijinglia answered.
Her mother said, "My girl, you're of 20 years old, and still you talks so childish. I think you got the symptoms of your father."
Beijinglia laughed and said, "I am the only loving daughter of you mom. It is my responsibility to keep you happy." This made her mom smiled. She said, "Fine; I think he got forget to ask about me. You have met him after a week this time. Before it, you were not losing a day to meet with Master Xiao." Then Beijinglia nodded her head. She said that it can be the reason.
He mother usually won't spend much time with Beijinglia, but after her father's death, she started to accompany her. Even her little sister isn't available too.
Beijinglia's Mother remembered that Beijinglia was dearest to her father. So it's obvious for her to grow undying emotions towards her father. In result, she just decided to become a Montara Fighter like what he thought of her, without thinking of the consequences that she would beheaded.
For girls, being a Montara Fighter is an illegal thing. Then mom asked her, "Yeah..........Beijinglia, as a mother I am saying you, please try to lose your thinking about Montara Training." This made Beijinglia in doubt. She asked, "What are you saying mom; why?"
"Beijinglia, I only want your safety. You aren't safe in this town with this thing." But after a while, Beijinglia said, "Mom, it was my father's dream to protect all. I can't deny it. I have to know more about it, and I am on my success. At this stage, how can I think to leave? Mom, I respect you a lot. But no any authority has the power to change my thoughts, EVEN IF I DIE." This made her mother enraged. She exclaimed, "Are you out of your senses Beijinglia?! How can you use such words before me! Never say this again." And her mom hugged her and cried. Beijinglia asked, "Mom, are you crying? Please don't." But her mother said, "I... DON"T WANTS TO LOSE YOU BEIJINGLIA....... I'VE ALREADY LOST MY HUSBAND...YOUR LOVING FATHER." Her mother leaves her. Beijinglia said, "Mom, I am not going to fail you. You are my only hope. I know already that my father is no more. But his dream was only for me to be a Montara Fighter." Then her mother said, "I am not trying to interfere in your ways. I just want an answer from you to my question that where you'll take your training? No one is going to teach you the true skills. And Girls are banned to have such trainings, you know. I am already in known that Master Xiao will not be available for you these days."
"How you knew it mom?" Beijinglia asked.
"He called me. Now speak, what's your plan? Where you'll have your training?" Her Mother asked.
This made Beijinglia's mouth shut. She won't answer anything; only this -"I don't know well about it." This made her mother feel so silly for her. Beijinglia said, "Mother, I don't know about what you want to convince me." Then her mother said, "I want to listen this from you. Don't you even get it?" But she was confused that what her mother is talking about. She asked, "Mom, what you are talking about?" Her mother finally says, "I would like to know from you. Would you like to be training in Tiger Valley?"
Master Xiao has a great plan for Beijinglia's start up. He wants that she may get the real training in his absence.
..."I will give you the way, Beijinglia."...
Master Xiao travels through the Tiger Valley's heritage place, The Central Town; where there is the Temple of Princess Swan, the Samson (it's also called as 'Ere Temple as it was made in the time of Ere dynasty); where teens take training. He has to move on different place in Tiger Valley, but also thought to accelerate Beijinglia's life.
He went to that place and met with Master Lee after many years. Master Lee took him to their living room which was quite big and traditional. Master Lee said, "I am glad to meet with you again, Master Xiao. Is everything okay in Beijing Town?"
"Yes, everything is fine. Well, what about your works here? Do you still give the training?" Master Xiao asked.
"No. Now I got on my age. This time I had my three students who are all trained and are able to sharpen their skills on their own. Only some of days I do try to train them." Master Lee said.
"That's nice. But where are your students?" Master Xiao asked.
"I have sent them in the forest plain to get some herbs and medicated plants. Those are very helpful to make medicines. And all of them do prepare for the food too." Master Lee said.
"Good to hear this. They do need it given the hardships and tasks they had to go through. (Changes the topic) Well, I have different reason to come here, with an important thing which I want to tell you." Master Xiao said.
"Yeah, speak to me." Master Lee said.
"It can be hard to accept, but it is my request." Master Xiao said.
Then Master Lee said, "What is it?"
"It's about a girl, who's really important to me. She has lost her father, and lives alone with her mother, in Beijing Town. Her name is Beijinglia. I have to give her the help to continue her studies. She is observant, agreeable and intelligent.... And recently, she has decided to choose a rigid way to continue her life, and is capable to deal with it." Master Xiao explained.
"(Impressed) The way you praise her, she seems to be an ideal one, Master Xiao. (Back to topic) So; what it has that you need my favor? I don't think It's that hard to accept." Master Lee said.
But master Xiao said, "(Hesitates) ... She wants her further training in Tiger Valley."
As Master Lee listened to him, he gets stunned.
At the same time, Master Lee's students returned to the Temple back. One of them named, Rex; came to Master Lee and found Master Xiao too. Master Lee introduced him to Rex, and he greeted Mater Xiao.
Rex said to Master Lee, "Master, we all have brought the necessary items." Then Master Lee said him to get all those on its real place. And Rex said, "Okay master." And he went from there.
After a while, Master Lee said, "(Furious) Why you want me to train her, Xiao?! This place is forbidden to those unholy vile humans of Beijing Town!"
"(Unaffected with his anger) Vile is a foul word for that girl, Lee. Once you meet her you'll know. And let me tell you, it has a deep relation from you. Her mother is the one whom you know very well. I think, her name was Anza, right?" Master Xiao said.
This name shocked Master Lee. He said, "(In shock) How you know her?"
"From that time when she came with her husband and her only daughter on the summer Festival, it was her first celebration in her married life... Alas, he is no more." Master Xiao said.
Master Lee sighed and after a while, he said, "Aki, died...... He was the grandson of my younger brother......... Well, there is a deep reason behind my thinking to be the Master, I was an adult at that time...... just on the first sight she fell in love with me, I loved her too but; I have to be pure from inside forever. I don't want to make myself get in any sin, so I let her with Aki."
Then Master Xiao said, "They both really loved each other. Well, on coming to the topic; I want to hear from you. I can understand that Aki and Anza are the best couples, but you were her first love. And you don't want to let her down. (Speaks with concern) Even Anza wants her daughter to become strong here, Lee."
"(Shocked) What... is it really true, or are you just bluffing?"
"It's true. Since her husband's death, I've been like a backing for her family and Beijinglia thinks of me as her second father. Anza always trusts my ways of helping them. So why would I lie to you?"
Master Lee was out of words. He couldn't think of any other ways to speak with him.
So, Master Xiao said, "… Tell me, are you fine with her daughter's training here in Tiger Valley?"
After a long discussion, it was still hard for Master Lee to admit it easily. But, after giving it some thoughts, he finally said, "As you wish."
