The little fox led in a young woman dressed in a blue belted robe.
She had willow brows and almond eyes, red lips and pearly teeth, a tiny beauty mark at the corner of her eye, and a delicate little nose set on a porcelain-white face so flawless it looked as if it could be damaged by the slightest touch. Her waist was slender and her legs long, her figure graceful and lithe. In a few years, she would surely become a beauty of one in ten thousand.

She carried a precious sword in her hand and wore a man's hair crown, her long ponytail hanging down behind her. The combination was somewhat incongruous, making her look like a chivalrous young woman who had just entered the martial world.
The girl raised her eyes and swept them over Fox Spirit, Snake Spirit, and then Lu Bei. Her smile blossomed like a flower, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons.
"Junior Uncle-Master, I've come to see you."
"Junior Uncle-Master..."
Lu Bei rubbed his chin. "Miss, of course I'm delighted to have such a well-behaved and sensible niece-disciple as you, but... who are you?"
"Ah!"
The girl gave an embarrassed smile, coughed lightly into her fist, and introduced herself solemnly. "I'm Wei Yu of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, disciple of Master Bai Jin."
"So you're Senior Sister Bai's prized disciple. Why didn't you say so sooner? Come, let your uncle-master have a look at you."
Lu Bei instantly perked up. He pulled Wei Yu over and praised her from head to toe, praising the girl until her feet seemed to float off the ground. All she could do was grin foolishly, nearly forgetting her own surname.
