Yu Bin. Immortal Of Water Land

The lights are on so the street doesn't look so dark , a car would pass from time to time . She was staying down tired on a bench waiting for the bus to take her to work . She seemed tired but she had the power to smile at a stranger who stayed down beside her . Talking with him , the time seemed to pass faster and a bus stopped in front of her. Saying Goodbye , the young woman got on the bus and sat on a bench looking on the window. The rain wasn't going to stop for a while . Maybe because of the calming sound of the rain , or maybe because of the tiredness she felt , her eyes slowly closed with a smile on her beautiful face. A smile that in no time became a grimace.

"Is she dead? "

"That's what I heard,"

The place has changed, was that a dream?

"Hey, did you hear? That evil woman died. "

"I heard that's good. She should've died a long time ago."

*It's good?* The faces of the people in that place ... why was she hurt about their thoughts?

"I heard she killed the queen and the king,"

"I heard that too. What kind of kid was she, to kill his own parents?"

*a killer? * The word was hurting her so much , but what was hurting her the most were the words *her parents* . So she clutched her heart, tears threatening to come out.

"I heard she killed Bao Fang too,"

"Wasn't Bao Fang her master?

" Yes, I heard she trained her,"

*Bao Fang?!* Why did the name sound so familiar to her ?

She clutched her heart harder and fell on her knees . The tears that threatened before started to fall one by one making their way on her cheeks.

"I can't believe this woman, she killed her parents, her master and I heard before she committed suicide she killed the prince of heaven too. "

*The prince of heaven? What are they saying?* Her eyes grew bigger and she felt like she didn't have air . *The prince of heaven * she said again and an unclear image appeared in her head. #he killed everyone # she seemed to remember a woman's voice saying sweetly but deathly.

"She committed suicide knowing that she could never be reborn again."

"Even if she will be reborn, she can never be immortal again,"

" That's good, that's good, it's better to never be reborn, after all, she was a sinner, she was a demon " another woman said

*She was a sinner? a demon?* Was true, that kind of person surely was ,but why was hurting her so much ?

The whispers spread like wildfire through the crowd, and she felt weaker and weaker . People exchange knowing glances and nod in agreement, as if they were all relieved by the news of the woman's death.

But who was this woman, and why was she so despised? No one dared to speak her name out loud, as if even mentioning her would bring bad luck. Some whispered that she was a witch, others said she was a murderer. The rumors were endless, but one thing was certain - she was not mourned by anyone in the town.

Whipping her tears she slowly got up and started to walk making small steps. She felt more tired , she felt uneasy. But then she heard a sound like someone was angry . The curiosity made her way and the young lady walked further.

"How dare these bastards talk about our princess like that. How can they talk about someone they never had the chance to meet. These idiots, let me kill them now..."

*Was he angry for the killer? But why?*

"Ziwan, stop. They don't know what they're talking about. They only know what they've heard."

"Brother Ruan, if they don't know, then why are they talking?..."

"Ziwan...Brother Ruan is right, they are just ignorant people..."

The group of loyal followers of the princess were outraged by the rumors and gossip spreading about her. They couldn't believe that people would speak ill of someone they held in such high regard. They were ready to defend her honor at any cost.

That made her feel better. Her heart seemed to still hurt but the pain she felt subdued much. She just closed her eyes for a second, and, opening her eyes, the image changed suddenly.

Clank* Clank* Two swords were engaged in a fiery fight. One woman and a young teenage girl to be more precise, were weaving their swords against each other. It wasn't a life-and-death battle, but it felt like one. Still what surprised her more was that teenage girl's face. She looked exactly like her. But how ?

“Resentment is born out of pain... Love can turn into hate, and hate can be melted by love. ". The old girl said, attacking the young one who, for a moment, lost her concentration, but quickly regained her focus and parried the attack, responding, "But forgiveness is the key to breaking the cycle of pain and resentment. It takes strength to let go of hate and choose love instead."

The old girl smiled, impressed by the wisdom in the young girl's words. She continued to push her in the fight, testing her skill and determination. The clash of their swords echoed through the training grounds, a dance of steel and determination.

"Yu Bin , tell me if you walk down the street and you see a person killing another person, what do you think?" The master said looking at her expectant .

*Yu Bin??!!* wasn't that her own name ? But how was that possible?

"Of course, a killer is a bad person, murder is forbidden. " the young Yu Bin answered in an instant,

" Of course, Yu Bin is right if you think so. Killing is absolutely forbidden no matter what. How you judge can be considered fair, just that ..." The master said, and taking a few steps in front of her, continued, "It is important to remember that everyone has their own reasons and circumstances that lead them to commit such a heinous act. It is not our place to judge them without knowing the full story. It is important to seek justice through the proper channels and not take matters into our own hands."

*True * the young lady said nodding her head. Whoever the old woman was , she was right .

"But, master? Isn't it forbidden to kill?

Is not bad? You just said it was wrong , Didn't you say that is forbidden?" The young Yu Bin asked angrily and confused walking toward her master

"Absolutely. " Her master answered without paying attention to her voice.

It looked like the old one knew the Young one very well and didn't get disturbed by her voice tone so the young lady smiled sadly.

"Yu Bin, killing is indeed forbidden and wrong. But sometimes, in certain situations, it may be necessary to protect oneself or others. It is important to understand the context and consequences of our actions before making a decision," her master explained calmly.

"What you thought was black for the killer was white because the person he just murdered killed his whole family and friends. His wife, his parents, his friends ... they were all killed by the person he murdered. "the woman who seemed to be the master of the young Yu Bin said and the Young one seemed to get angrier.

"This does not... The young girl looked at her master in astonishment. '' Her mind was churning, and she couldn't say a word.

"Yu Bin, let me tell you that you are now by the killer's side, but if I were to tell you that all the murdered people were inhuman people , would you still think the killer was in the wrong?" The master asked and the young Yu Bin wasn't the only one taken aback , the young lady was too.

"Inhuman people? What do you mean, Master?"

The master sighed and explained, "The people the killer murdered were all involved in human trafficking and drug smuggling. They were responsible for ruining countless lives and causing immense suffering. The killer, in his grief and anger, sought revenge for the innocent lives they had destroyed."

Yu Bin's eyes widened in realization. "So, the killer was actually seeking justice for the victims of these inhuman criminals?"

Master nodded. "Exactly. Sometimes, things are not as black and white as they seem. It is important to consider the circumstances and motives behind someone's actions before passing judgment."

"Yu Bin. You are the best disciple I ever had. Well, after him. Your skills are amazing, and your heart is so strong, but you should be careful in the future when I will not be with you because anyone can easily fool you ... however .... never change your heart. Keep your heart strong, your soul pure, and improve your swordplay. "

*after him ...* that word gave a pang in her heart . when the master said him , an unclear image appeared in her mind and without realizing she clutched her heart again.

"Master, are you going somewhere?"

"I wonder...."

"You wonder? "

The worry could now be read in Yu Bin's voice. Just the thought of her master leaving made her feel a sense of emptiness but she was not the only one. The young lady too , she felt like crying.

"Yes, I am getting old, and my time in this world is limited. But do not worry, Yu Bin. I have taught you everything I know, and I have faith in your abilities. You will continue to grow and become even stronger, even without me by your side."

Her master smiled, a sense of pride evident in her eyes. "I have no doubt that you will become a great Queen one day, Yu Bin. Remember, it is not just about skill with the sword, but also about having a pure heart and strong spirit. Keep those qualities close to you, and you will never falter."

The master said and the two looked at her , their eyes full of fondness.

"Master , wait for me" Yu Bin said hurrying to catch up with her master when...

"Mom, Dad ... why are you here?"

The words spelled by the young one made her heart skip a beat and with uneasy feeling she looked at the two figure , tears falling down her eyes unstoppable. Her heart was pounding and hurting. Why was it hurt so much? She didn't get it yet , what kind of dream was that ?

"Oh, wife, look at this little devil. She thinks we have no right to be here."

"Daaaaaaaadddddd, that's not what I mean .... but .... didn't you say you were going to Sun Land to visit Uncle? "

Teased by her father, Yu Bin forgot her worry. While one was happily talking with her parents, the other was on her knees rivers of tears making way on her cheeks.

"Ah, that ... change of plans, little devil. Your uncle had a sudden meeting, so we'll meet him another time ..."

"Mooooooooommmmm," Dad calls me devil again. The teenager complained to her mother , pouting her lips in a cute manner.

His mother chuckled, ruffling her daughter's hair affectionately. "Oh, don't mind your father, Yu Bin . He's just teasing you. We decided to surprise you by coming here instead of going to Sun Land. Isn't that exciting?"

Yu Bin's eyes widened in surprise, a smile spreading across her face. "Really? You came here just for me?"

Her parents nodded, their eyes filled with love and warmth. "Of course, sweetheart. We wanted to spend some quality time with you and explore this beautiful place together. Now, let's go and make some unforgettable memories, shall we?" Her parents said and the three walked around talking all kinds of nonsense but nonsense that made the young Yu Bin smile all the time while the young lady couldn't stop crying.

While the sun was setting down , the young Yu Bine and ger parents took their good byes and left together.

The image was so happy but why was hurting her so much .

The dream was strange but what was the strangest was the fact that , the master came right in front of her and gave her her hand helping her get up and whipping her tears.

"You grew up ! Yu Bin, don't forget what I taught you ! Not everything that's white, is actually white , nor everything that black it's actually black, but most important.... was not your fault. My dear Yu Bin" The woman said hugging her and she closed her eyes ,the sound becoming more and more far away making place to another sound .

"Miss wake up, miss... wake up, miss" the sound became more and more clear making her open her eyes.

Was just a dream. But was it just that ? Because if it was , why was still hurting her so much? ....
