Finally My True Self(4)

Lu Fang Xiu and Lu Xian Yun were on their way to history class with his friends. Three friends and the rest are fans.

The three of them, Cang He, Bei Ping, and Teng Zian had gotten to know Lu Fang Xiu better as Lu Xian Yun forced them to keep an eye on her while he was gone.

In the history class, Lu Xian Yun had been called to help his master, Lan Ming with something. He had asked them politely and hard to keep an eye on Lu Fang Xiu for him.

Lu Xian Yun was gone the whole school day. Lu Fang Xiu was with Cang He, Bei Ping, and Teng Zian when she was not with her siblings.

The three men got quite fond of the weak and strong girl. They wanted to protect her, yet also kneel in respect. They even allowed (made) her call them big brother.

It was time for the class which worried the Lu siblings more than magic and archery. It was Martial arts class.

Lu Fang Xiu still hadn't checked if she still had her former strength and agility, but since the body was so weak she was very sure she didn't have her former strength or agility.

Lu Fang Xiu began to play with her hands. She wasn't worried or nervous. She just couldn't wait for the class to begin.

Bei Ping thought Lu Fang Xiu were worried and patted her head. «Xiao Xiu'er. You don't need to be worried. We big brothers will help if anything happens.»

Cang He and Teng Zian nod with a smile. Lu Fang Xiu just nod. She stopped playing with her hands and walk into the training ground.

Many of the SS students greeted them. That was also one of the reasons the emperor put Lu Fang Xiu in the SS class.

The SS class was known to be kind, mannered and respectful. They never looked down on others or judged their backgrounds.

They knew how to treat both teachers, fellow students, and other important figures. Students who broke any of the rules were kicked out of the class without question.

The SS class were very protective of fellow classmates. New or not. If one of the students in the SS class were bullied or hurt, the person responsible would get the strongest students in their heels or in worst scenario expelled.

Throughout the day, Lu Fang Xiu had gotten to know everyone in her class. They were like a little family or a group of close friends.

Lu Fang Xiu had already noted the students in her class as her people. Li Yin could only smile at the events. In the past life Lu Fang Xiu never really had that many people in her life or that she had approved.

Only the squad and Jin Cheng were accepted as Bai Fang Xiu's people. Seven people in total, but now she had so many more and Li Yin were happy for his mistress.

...

Lu Fang Xiu change into the fighting clothes she and Kun Ju prepared. A wine red short qipao with dark red floral embroidery, a red ribbon tied her hair in a braid that reached her just under the butt, and a pair of dark red stockings that covered her legs.

The others had also changed, but Lu Fang Xiu was the most eye-catching. When fighting, one usually wore something dark, but Lu Fang Xiu wore red.

Lu Fang Xiu knew she got a lot of attention for it, but she didn't care. She just stood there with the air of a royal. Not caring what others thought.

The students in the SS class saw Lu Fang Xiu as their little sister. They knew of the rumors about her and had tried to stop it, but they still continued. Some had even started to look down on the SS class.

«Okay, class. Today we will train hand-to-hand combat. I have with me the second best fighter our Jade Academy, Jian Juan.» Jian Juan was in the SS class before, but broke many rules and was kicked out.

Even though the SS class isn't supposed to dislike or hate. They do dislike Jian Juan. He broke more than one rule and tainted the SS class's reputation.

He looked down on everyone. Used his status to get what he wanted, bullied other weaker students and skipped classes. It's a miracle he even got to stay in the school.

Jian Juan looked at his former classmates and spotted a newbie. He smirked. «Lăoshi Han, I want to fight that gal.» The SS students got tense and some even gasped.

The teacher tensed as well. He hadn't told Jian Juan about Lu Fang Xiu yet. So, of course, he didn't know that she was the emperor's daughter.

Lăoshi Han was just about to explain but was stopped by a strong voice. «I accept the challenge.» Lu Fang Xiu took a step forward.

«Xiao Xiu'er are you sure?» Jian Juan smirked. "So she is that bastard's little sister." Lu Xian Yun had said something about a meimei Xiu'er one time before when he still attended the SS class.

Jian Juan was the second strongest while Lu Xian Yun was first. Jian Juan didn't think or care about who their father was. Only beating Lu Xian Yun and become the strongest.

Lu Fang Xiu didn't care about anything. She wanted to beat this guy. This guy had tried to kill her brother once before and she would not tolerate it.

Lu Fang Xiu jump on the platform with ease. Her veil fluttered, but she had it strapped both on top and bottom so it wouldn't fall or fly off.

The students awed at Lu Fang Xiu when she jumped. Jian Juan just rolled his eyes in disdain.

He jumped too, but not as high as Lu Fang Xiu. Lăoshi Han raised his hand giving signal for them to start.

Jian Juan smirked as he got ready. There was no weapons or powers allowed. He began to attack, but Lu Fang Xiu jumped over him doing a flip.

Lu Fang Xiu didn't use any elemental powers. She looked at the ground and tried something. She lightly tapped her foot on the ground like she did in her past life. It cracked.

Lu Fang Xiu couldn't believe she still had her former strength, flexibility, and agility. They must've been delayed when she first came here. She smirks and walks up to Jian Juan.

Jian Juan felt a little scared but quickly shook it off. How could he be afraid of Lu Fang Xiu? She was just an ugly, weak little princess that hid her ugly face.

Jian Juan snickered and got ready to fight. Lu Fang Xiu stopped in front of him. «Aren't you going to fight? Are you scared?»

Jian Juan tried to mock Lu Fang Xiu, but she didn't even react. She just stood there with a cool air. He smirked and sped forward to kick her, but instead of hitting her he hit air.

Before Jian Juan could react the air was sucked out of him. Lu Fang Xiu had ducked and hit his stomach with a flat hand.

Jian Juan flew backwards and landed on his back losing his breath. Lu Fang Xiu rolled her eyes. "Weak." That was the one word in her mind. Weak. Not just Jian Juan, but also herself.

Lu Fang Xiu may still have her former strength, flexibility, and agility, but her body was still weak. It won't take long before she faints again.

Lu Fang Xiu grits her teeth in frustration. She hated it. Hated the weakness. The loss of her past work. Past achievements. She wanted to train, but her body was too weak.

Lu Fang Xiu walked over to Jian Juan and stepped on his chest. «Still want to say I'm weak?» Her voice may have been soft, but her words were ice cold.

Jian Juan saw the air that Lu Fang Xiu emitted. It was that of a ruler, not some puny little girl.

Lu Fang Xiu walked off the platform and walked over to her brother's friends. «That was very good Xiao Xiu'er.» Cang He nodded agreeing with Bei Ping.

Teng Zian looked over at Jian Juan and Lăoshi Han. Jian Juan was glaring at them but stared at Lu Fang Xiu with admiration and something else.

Lăoshi Han was talking to Jian Juan about. «You can't just challenge every person you meet, and especially not-- Jian Juan! Are you even listening?»

Lăoshi Han hit Jian Juan's head. «Aiyo.» Jian Juan held his head and got out of his daze. «Jian Juan, you will train your focus and endurance today after school.»

Jian Juan slightly bowed his head. «Yes, Master.» He glared at the SS class. Lu Fang Xiu didn't even bother to look at him as she had other things to think about.

The class she had alone. Music class. None of her siblings was any music prodigy. Only two were qin prodigies, but they had a separate class for qin players. Lu Fang Xiu since young been able to play any instrument.

Be it qin, flute, zither or erhu. Lu Fang Xiu could master them all. It's too bad that musical talent was not something one could show off as something special.

Lu Fang Xiu and the rest of the SS class continued sparring. She ended up sparring with Cang He's third meimei, Cang Xi.
