A New Journey

"No. I don't want to burden a busy person like you to teach me. I can do well by myself." Su Qing said while looking down as she cleaned off the dust from her body.

"Just now, you called me 'Master'. I guess this is the first word you said to address me as."

"If you don't want me as your master, then why did you call me that?" Yuan Si sat up as he asked Su Qing with a complaining stare.

"It's just… I had a master who looked exactly like you. That's why." Su Qing didn't wish to continue this topic. So she ended her words shortly.

"It seems that this person means a lot to you. Am I right?" Yuan Si stood up slowly as he asked Su Qing with a soft voice.

"..."

But Su Qing turned her back towards Yuan Si as she said, "He doesn't."

"It's been a long time since we came here. We are wasting your time, let's head to the destination together since I'm free now." Su Qing didn't look back at Yuan Si anymore as she started to prepare for the journey afterwards. 

"... Alright. Let's go." he looked at the lonely back as a pain made its way towards his heart. 

Su Qing already started to walk as she picked up the bamboo bag on her back.

Yuan Si also picked up the veil as he placed it back on his head before he started to follow her silently.

After three days later, 

The both of them finally entered the Capital city together. 

During this long time journey, Su Qing didn't talk with Yuan Si much, just minding her own business.

"Looks like we are almost close to our destinations, we will part ways soon." Yuan Si was the one to start the conversation first as Su Qing refused to talk with him willingly since that day.

"Mmhm… I guess so," Su Qing stared at the City gate blankly as she replied to him back.

"What about it? Have you made your decisions now? Do you wish to join my squad?" Yuan Si asked the girl once again.

'How can I sit still when you go somewhere all by yourself and start fighting with people?' He thought as he threw a quick glance at Su Qing. 

"I don't think so. I still have some unfinished business here in the Capital. I wish to take care of them furst. And about the Young Master's proposal, I'll think about it later." Su Qing forced a smile on her face as she turned over to look at the veiled man by her side.

Ever since that day, Su Qing was feeling confused by her own thoughts that overlapped with each other constantly. 

What she experienced was already something worthy of an unbelievable experience, because time space traveling is something that only can be in a fairy tale or atleast as a theory.

But never for real…

After going through such a bizarre experience, Su Qing was already going crazy over all this. And now, she was seeing the people's she has been in touch with in a different dimension and in a different state.

But what happened has already happened, no matter how much she thinks, she can't undo what's already happening. 

"What about your scar?" Yuan Si asked when he saw the expression on Su Qing's face becoming more tense.

The scar given by Rong Jin was still on her face, the one he drew with a poisonous dagger. 

Su Qing touched her face unconsciously as she felt the scar, then took out a handkerchief as she put it on her face to use it as a veil.

"This will do." Su Qing hid her face behind the cloth as she looked at Yuan Si with her bright eyes. 

"You won't take care of it altogether? Why don't you use the scar remover I gave you?" Yuan Si frowned when he saw what she did.

She can take care of the scar right away, he didn't wish to see the thing that wasn't given to her by himself.

"I know what you are talking about. I'll use that when the right time comes." Su Qing assured Yuan Si as she turned around to hide the smile in her eyes.

'But if I use it right away and remove the scar off my face, then how can I make and see a good drama?'

"Hmm… ok. But there is something more I want to know," Yuan Si said once again.

"You didn't tell me your real name yet, Wu Sheng." The words that came out of his mouth made Su Qing look at him with wide eyes. 

"How did you know it's not my real name?" Su Qing asked him with a bewildered look.

Well, it does matter that he suspected her name being fake, but after staying together for this long, why does he ask it now?

"Su Qing, it's my name." she said with a small voice as she sneakily glaced at the weird guy.

Then, she turned back as she prepared to start walking. Su Qing thought if she left without a farewell, then it would be rude of her. 

"Well then, it's farewell for us. If it's fated, then we will meet again someday, Young Master." Su Qing said as she started walking away slowly. 

"Hmm… we will indeed meet again, Su Qing." Yuan Si rolled out her name as he smiled from beneath the veil.

***

"So… We are finally in our separate ways now," Su Qing sighed with a bored expression as she yawned.

It's been more than two hours since she bid farewell to Yuan Si and started walking to her final destination, from where her start of a new journey in life will begin.

And of course, her final destination is…

The Su family! 

"I'm coming soon… Just you wait!" A malicious dark intent flashed in her eyes as she smiled.
