Weird Guy

Gu Hua didn't leave until nightfall.

Her body was already frozen stiff, scorching pain continuously coursing through her body making her eyebrows pucker.

Not far from the waterfall, was a small cave. It should've formerly been a demonic beast's den, but since it was abandoned, it's now actually a very suitable place for Gu Hua to rest.

Entering the cave, Gu Hua cautiously examined her injuries.

Her two shoulders were already pounded grey by the waterfall, hands, and feet purple from crashing against the rocks as blood bled from a few parts of her body.

After one short day, she was already completely covered with cuts and bruises.

"This body's innate quality is really lacking." Gu Hua sighed. It would take a very long time if she wanted to speed up this body's cultivation.

Just when she thought she can finally relax a little bit after training hard for a whole day, she noticed a slight motion at the entrance of the cave.

It was a man wearing a mask standing at the entrance. The man was wearing all black clothing which makes it hard to spot him if he didn't make any movement. He also has very beautiful silver-white hair, with a pair of shiny blue eyes that looks like the colour of the sky!

Even with the mask on, you can tell that he is a very good looking man.

"Who are you?" Asked Gu Hua as she gets in her cautious mode.

"Just someone passing by. I just stopped to rest on that tree and who knew I can see something interesting." Said the man with an expressionless face.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you." After saying that, the man throws something at Gu Hua. It was something very small and doesn't look like it's dangerous.

So Gu Hua caught the thing that the man has thrown at her. It was a small jar, the kind that you keep the medicated cream in. She then looks up again, but the man is already gone.

'What a weird guy, I wonder what this is?' Gu Hua thought as she opened the jar and a very nice herb fragrance comes flowing out. She smells it and knows this is the top grade medicated cream for cuts and bruises. After cautiously examining the medicine she found nothing wrong with it. So she decided to apply it to her injuries.

On the other side of the forest, stood two men. One of them was the man with the mask from earlier.

"Master, are you staying in the forest again tonight." Said the other man with respect, he is one of the guards of the masked man.

"I won't be going back tonight, you should go back and if anything happens report back to me like usual." After saying that the man with the mask then turns around to leave. He left so fast that it looks like he just disappeared into the thin air.

Master has been weird lately, he has been paying a lot of attention to this young miss as the guard thinks to himself.

Master had been following this young miss since she had left her home. He even order us to get rid of some strong wild animals and beasts that we believe the young miss can't handle in secret when it gets close to her.

At first, everyone thought the master must have been bored so he took a little interest in this useless young miss. But today, she has gotten our interest too. We were able to see her hard work, her special way of training and most of all.

Although there were always many female cultivators encompassing them, it was very rare to find somebody who practised as hard as this young miss.
