Chinese Academy of Sciences, backyard.
Leaning on the windowsill, looking at the dried lotus flowers in the pond outside the window, Jiang Shuying had a sad look on her face.
It has been more than two months since I came to the capital.
It has been more than two months since I entered the National College.
However, at this moment, her mind began to wander.
Sometimes, she even began to doubt whether her choice to go to Beijing this time was the right one.
From the time she can remember, she has been following her master and living a wandering life.
Sometimes, she didn't understand why she had to live such a life.
Ever since she was a child, her master had always told her that she was carrying the blood feud of the Jiang family.
Find your enemy and kill him with your own hands.
Only then can her relatives rest in peace.
However, she really has no memory of those relatives in her mind.
In other words, she had no memory at all.
Her grandfather, Jiang Chaonan, was the first number one scholar in Dashun since the founding of the People's Republic of China and a literary giant in Dashun.
He is also the only one in Dashun who has two poems at the same time and is included in Wenfengtai.
In the hearts of Dashun literati, Jiang Chaonan is a legend.
However, Jiang Shuying knew that Grandpa's legendary identity seemed a bit embarrassing.
Perhaps it is a bit embarrassing because of the identity of the Jiang family.
Twenty years ago, my grandfather was already the official secretary of Dashun.
Moreover, he is still the person who is very likely to be promoted to become the Prime Minister of Dashun.
However, that night, there was a bloody storm, and everyone in the Jiang family was slaughtered.
All seventy-six members of Jiang Chaonan's family were killed by the Shadow Sect.
The master said that if she had not happened to pass by and rescued her as an infant, there would not have been a single person alive in the entire Jiang family.
But if this is the case, even if the Jiang family declines, even if it is no longer glorious, as a descendant of the Jiang family, she should not be ungrateful.
However, since she was a child, her master has never allowed her to show herself as Jiang Chaonan's granddaughter.
The master even kept warning her that if she wanted to avenge her family, she must never let anyone know her identity.
This made Jiang Shuying very confused.
She didn't understand that since his grandfather Jiang Chaonan was such an outstanding person and someone who was highly valued by the late emperor, why as his descendant, her identity should not be revealed to others.
Of course, she couldn't help but listen to her master's words.
After all, her master is her only relative in this world.
She believed that the master would never harm her.
Therefore, since childhood, at the request of her master, she has worked harder than other peers.
In fact, at the beginning, the master wanted her to practice martial arts.
The master believes that only by possessing peerless martial arts can there be hope for revenge.
Only then will you have the strength to kill your enemies with your hands.
Therefore, the master wanted to impart to her everything he had learned throughout his life.
However, no one expected that her physique was inherently unable to condense Qi.
There is almost no possibility of cultivation.
In other words, there is no possibility of practicing to become a master.
Therefore, the road to martial arts training was cut off.
However, the master did not give up.
She said, fortunately, Jiang Shuying is a woman.
Since revenge cannot be taken with force, perhaps there is another way to go.
Therefore, the master took her to travel all over Dashun, even to Mu Country and Yun Country, and visited countless people.
Therefore, she is only twenty years old and is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
However, just after she mastered the art, something happened suddenly when her master said she was going to take her to find her enemy.
That night, they arrived at Wangjiang.
The master said that he met an old friend when he went out.
However, when she came back, she was seriously injured and dying.
It was also at that time that the master told her for the first time to give up revenge.
Jiang Shuying almost turned to stone when he heard this.
The next moment, the master suddenly put his hand on the top of her head and absorbed all his energy into her body.
By the time she reacted, the master had already passed away and had no life left.
Looking at the master's gradually cold body, Jiang Shuying suddenly realized that she wanted to cry, but there were no tears in her eyes.
She just sat next to the master's body and looked at her quietly.
This look lasted all night.
She was confused and hesitant.
For more than ten years, the master has been taking care of her.
For more than ten years, her master has been telling her what she wants to learn and what she wants to do.
But at that moment, she was the only one left in the world.
She understood that the master could no longer take care of her.
It's impossible to tell yourself what to do anymore.
At that time, she had a choice.
Because the master has asked her to let go and stop taking revenge.
Because she didn't care about the Jiang family in her heart.
She can give up.
However, she still chose to continue.
She felt that since she was from the Jiang family, she naturally had to bear the Jiang family's blood feud.
Although, she didn't know who the enemy was.
In her heart, she was very confused.
I don’t know who she wants to seek revenge from, and I don’t know how to take revenge.
She didn't know what the master went through before his death, but she believed that it all had something to do with Wangjiang.
Since the master died in Wangjiang, she started looking for clues from Wangjiang.
If you want to inquire about information, naturally you should go to a mixed bag of places like brothels, teahouses, restaurants and okiyas.
So, she found Wangjiang Art Museum.
With Jiang Shuying's talents, she became famous throughout Wangjiang in just a few days.
Although she does not sell her body as an artist, and does not even accompany her to eat or drink with her, Wangjiang Art Museum Liu's mother still treats her like a guest.
Naturally, Liu’s mother must treat her like a distinguished guest.
Because of her arrival, the business of Wangjiang Art Museum has increased several times, and the wealth is rolling in.
Many people would spend huge sums of money just to see her, Jiang Shuying.
Among them was the most domineering young master in Wangjiang, Mr. Duan, Duan Wenjun.
When she thought of this, Jiang Shuying couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.
She thought about how she felt uneasy when Mother Liu introduced Duan Wenjun to her.
This young master Duan's reputation in Wangjiang is really bad.
Moreover, he is arrogant and domineering.
No one dares to offend him.
Jiang Shuying has been thinking about what she should do if this young master Duan breaks the rules and wants to be the overlord.
The master gave her a set of skills, but they were of no use to her.
It seemed that apart from her physical condition, which seemed to be better before, and her strength, she couldn't feel any other benefits.
So, she secretly hid a pair of scissors by the bedside.
If that dandy young master acted recklessly, she believed that with her current strength, she would still have a chance to fight.
Kill him and escape from here.
Anyway, over the years, she has followed her master everywhere and she is used to it.
However, she didn't expect that the dandy young master would immediately declare his sovereignty over her after seeing him, but he had no intention of blaspheming her.
From the first moment he saw Jiang Shuying, Duan Wenjun declared that she was his woman.
Moreover, he did not act nonsense, but said that he should use his sincerity to impress the beauty's heart.
Then, his sincerity came.
Spend money like water and spend thousands of dollars.
Not only Jiang Shuying, but also the other girls at Wangjiang Art Hall benefited from his favor and made a lot of money.
It was also because of Duan Wenjun's declaration that she felt less troubled.
Some of the young men who wanted to tangle with her before seemed to be afraid and began to behave themselves...
Thinking of this, a faint smile rippled from Jiang Shuying's face.
