A/N:This is my take on Li Mu Bai and Yu Xui Lian's first meeting in the manga/comic. Just to let you know this scene is from the first book of the manga/comic. For those of you who have read the manga/comic, you probably know where this had come from. If you haven't read the manga/comic buy it if you wish or find it online, which ever you like.
Thick smoke coming from burning incense rose quietly to the clear morning skies. Prayers from the locals, travelers, visitors alike lifted with the smoke, as it ascended to the heavens. It was said that the incense would carry the prayers to deities and gods from above. Amongst them was of a sixteen year old named Yu Xiu Lian. Xiu Lian made a short trip to the city's temple while on an errand for her father. Her mind was troubled when she had witness her father's weakening strength during a battle against a band of his old enemies. Normally he would have been able to fend off the attackers within few stances, but after more than twenty stances he was not able to gain the upper hand. Luckily Xiu Lian was able to convince her mother to come along with them. With the twists of her 'twin dao', plus youth she was able to greatly injure two out of the four attackers in a number of seconds. This occurrence started to worry Xiu Lian greatly, which was why she went to the temple to ask the heavens to grant her father good health in the future. In finishing her request Xiu Lian respectfully put her palms together, bowing three times to the statue of Buddha. She stood up from her mat and turned towards the wide opening of the temple, leading back to the reality of the world outside the sanctuary.
Xiu Lian descended the long set of stairs, towards the below carriage; waiting patiently for her.
"Hurry up! She's going to leave soon," the urgent voice exclaimed, belonging to a man dressed in green that was few steps below her, the companion next to him replied with a quickening of his pace. Xiu Lian thought the man who had spoke was referring to one of the many girls in the temple. However due to her womanly instincts mixed with a bit of curiosity caused her head to turn a little towards them. She just wanted to take a minute glance at the men before continuing down. Her brown eyes met with another set of eyes.
"That's her!" The man in green refered to her with a smile.
FYI:
Yu Xiu Lian(actual pin-yin from the novel)/Yu Shu Lien (movie spelling)
I will stick to using the pin-in version of her name in this story.
