It has been two years since the opening of Chien Wan's secret identity. For two years Chien Wan never saw Ouwyang Ping again. Not that he had heard nothing about Ouwyang Ping. During these two years, the martial world was busy talking about the actions of a warrior girl who always carried a golden harp. Every time there is trouble, the girl always appears accompanied by the twang of the harp strings are very melodious. People started to know him as Harpa Kencana.
Everyone in the Nada Valley felt very confident that the girl was Ouwyang Ping. It's just that they never met and saw the girl firsthand.
During these two years, Chien Wan was trained by Mr. Ouwyang Cu with the magic sciences of Nada Valley. All his intelligence was passed down to Chien Wan. He felt satisfied because Chien Wan was very talented and the longer the greater.
But increasingly the day Mr. Ouwyang increasingly doubtful. Could Chien Wan be the heir to the Nada Valley? Chien Wan's talent and ability was beyond doubt. But the young man was too quiet and sullen. Lord Ouwyang was doubtful, would the Nada Valley progress if led by such a lackluster master?
All of Mr. Ouwyang's worries subsided when Sui She told him she was pregnant. And when the baby he was born turned out to be a boy, all the anxiety of Mr. Ouwyang was gone. If Chien Wan fails, there will still be her sister!
The boy is now almost a year old. That kid is so handsome and funny. It is a new light in the Ouwyang family. Mr. Ouwyang Cu named him Ouwyang Lee. The boy immediately became the favorite of all residents of Nada Valley. Even Mr. Ouwyang who is usually cynical and sniffling, immediately fell in love with him since he was born.
A Lee is very plump and agile. Her jovial nature was marked by a smile that almost always fell on her lips. Both her parents and her brother loved her very much. Especially Mr. Ouwyang Cu.
“There is no baby as handsome as A Lee!” exclaimed Mr. Ouwyang Cu with satisfaction and pride every time his grandson was bathed.
“A Lee can not yet be called handsome, Father,” said Ouwyang Kuan amused.
Mr. Ouwyang insisted, “You are wrong! I'll bet, A Lee is the prettiest baby in the world. Look at fifteen more years, surely all women will bend their knees before him!”
Sui She shook her head. “Dad, I don't want A Lee to be like that. He does not need to be handsome, but he must have a noble and virtuous personality,” he said slowly.
“You just calm down! A Lee is of the Ouwyang family. He will definitely grow as we hope!” sergeant Tuan Ouwyang Cu pongah. Then he asked A Lee to carry him. “I want to carry it. Get him!”
Sui She handed over her son who had just been dressed.
Mr. Ouwyang Cu cradled her with excitement. “Cute boy!” his praise. Suddenly his face changed. “Setan cubik!” the meaning made Sui She and Ouwyang Kuan shocked.
“Dad, what's up?” sui She asked worriedly.
Mr. Ouwyang's face looked furious. “Your son is a little devil, Sui She! Time he's bed-wetting me!” yells.
A Lee looked at his wry grandfather's face while chuckling.
Mr. Ouwyang's anger instantly disappeared. He also opened up, making Ouwyang Kuan and Sui She look amused.
Chien Wan walked into the room. His heart was delighted to see the joy of his family with the presence of this new son.
Mr. Ouwyang saw it. “Hey, Chien Wan! Here you are!”
Chien Wan approached. “Ya, Cake?”
“Today you will start practicing the Celestial Light Science!” said Mr. Ouwyang. “You must be alone at the foot of the hill to learn this theory of science!”
Chien Wan was glued.
The Nada Valley was not discovered by an Ouwyang. Its inventor was Lauw Cin, a silatologist and music expert who was almost matchless in his day. Unfortunately, he had no wife or son to continue his position. He had a disciple surnamed Ouwyang who was very talented and loved by him, so the Nada Valley was passed down to him. Since then, the Ouwyang family has been hereditary heir to the Nada Valley.
“Grandfather, it looks like I can't learn it.”
Those words were spoken very calmly by Chien Wan. He had already thought about it carefully. And he decided not to study that science. Science can only be passed on to one person from each generation. From teacher to student. If he inherits it, A Lee's chance is lost. But not necessarily he can master that science.
“What did you say?!” mister Ouwyang gusar.
“I'm only interested in science that uses flute as a base. Grandpa himself knew that, didn't he? I have no interest in studying the science of bare hands. Let the knowledge be passed down to A Lee,” said Chien Wan calmly.
Mr. Ouwyang furrowed his brows. “You sure?”
Chien Wan nodded steadily.
Ouwyang Kuan spoke up. “My son, you will be appointed as the Master of Nada Valley. You should have studied that science, not A Lee.”
Chien Wan turned her head and saw her father looking worried. He saw A Lee who was playing himself on his mother's lap. When looked at by Chien Wan, suddenly A Lee raised his face. Their gazes met and Chien Wan shuddered. His sister's eyes were sharp and shining, just like his grandfather's. Undoubtedly, A Lee was the most deserving of being the Nada Valley Master.
“I never wanted to be the Master of Nada Valley, Father.”
Ouwyang Kuan was shocked. “What do you mean?” yells.
Sui She looked at Mr. Ouwyang Cu, worried that her father-in-law was angry to hear Chien Wan's statement. “Don't talk like that, Son.”
“Dad, Mom, Grandpa.” Chien Wan looked at them one by one. “Since A Lee was born, I feel a burden on my shoulder being released. I could not refuse the task of being the heir to the Nada Valley because there was only me. But after A Lee was born, I felt he was better suited to this responsibility. Since childhood I was not educated to lead. Frankly, I felt unable to. While A Lee. if since childhood he was educated to become a leader, he will take on this responsibility with pleasure and do not consider it a burden.
“Thus, he will be a much better Nada Valley Master than I am. Of course I will always help him if he needs help. But Nada Valley will not progress if I inherit it because I do not have the ability.”
His parents and grandfather were shocked to hear it. Just this time Chien Wan spoke all that time.
The assertiveness of Chien Wan made them unable to say anything more.
“So what do you want, Chien Wan?” ask Mr. Ouwyang finally.
“Let me wander, Cake. I want to find Ping-er.”
No one could say anything because they were too shocked. During these two years, not once did Chien Wan mention Ouwyang Ping's name. Now even say you want to look for it. Does that mean Chien Wan no longer considers Ouwyang Ping as her lover anymore?
There was nothing his parents and grandfather could do but allow it. They are relieved that Chien Wan can finally forget the story of her past.
But it's actually not that easy.
Deep down, Chien Wan still had deep feelings for Ouwyang Ping. Although he was aware that the feeling was strictly forbidden, he could not avoid it. Every time he wished for his love for Ouwyang Ping to disappear, but his hopes were in vain. Love is not as easy as it is lost, it is not as easy as it changes.
