My mother was living in the Cloud Recesses, she was from Lan Sect. But I were living with my Dad in Lotus Pier. I studied the cultivation path in Gusu and went back to Lutus Pier. I even had a sister, Lan HimJu, she was living with my mother. Mum and Dad broke up when I were five, it was very hard for me to be disvorced from my two year old sister, it wasn't enough to visit eachother. So Lan HimJu would arrive in Lotus Pier around five in the afternoon to visit Father and me. I were really excited to see her, we planned to go nighthunting together. My Dad called me and I went downstairs. My Father was a sword smith, so were I. "MinMin, we have a new customer, please take his order. That customer was a close Jiang Sect disciple. But I were pretty sure he wasn't a Jiang from bloodline. The most Jiangs were killed by the Wen Sect long time ago. But not me and my Father, we went to a small village for bringing a sword to its owner. Thats luck! I'm half Jiang half Lan, like my sister. 

I told my customer I will take his order and bring the sword when I finished my work. So he left. Three hours left to Lan Jius arrival, so I decided to repair that sword until she would come. I finished when Lan Jiu arrived. "What a good timing.", I laughed. She was my younger and more proper sister. Always dressed in those white robes, with a very serious face. Her long brown hair was pinned in a beautiful hairstyle and decorated with white lilies. She looked like a princess with those calm olive coloured eyes. I glanced at myself. My hands were dirty, also my clothes. My own light curled black hair was pinned into a ponytail. Even my eyes had the colour of dust. Something between grey and light blue. There were nothing special about my appearance. But I didn't care about stuff like that, I were just a smith who also were able to cultivate. "You are working to much.", my sister said. "Sorry sis, but we're not as rich as you are." My face turned dark for a short moment. "Why you never said something, It is not like we wont share our money.", she sighed. Me too. "You know, Father doesn't like that." But I didn't want to fight now, so I asked her to come with me to the Jiang Sects estate. I knew she were fallen for Master Jiang Cheng, everytime she sees him, her face will turn red. "Lets bring that sword to a disciple from your beloved Jiang Cheng." As I said her cheeks turned red and I laughed. She wasn't the perfect calm Lan disciple she always pretends to be. "Jiang Miju, he is way to old for me!" She's always saying that. "Age is just a number!", I shouted. "Now hurry up, won't you?" 

We went to the sects estate and entered trough the huge gate. "So where is that customer?", Lan Jiu asked. "I don't know. We will just give that sword to someone who knows him and then leave." I were really surprised when we met Jiang Cheng himself. I glanced at my sister, who blushed immediatly. "Master Jiang,", I bowed, "we are here to bring back that sword I repaired.", I explained. I handed over the sword. My beautyful sister also bowed. "My Name is Lan HimJu.", she said with a calm voice. "My sister.", I simply said. Then we got interrupted by one of the disciples. And a young boy, who looked like a Jin Sect disciple with his golden robes and the vermillion mark on his forehead. "Master, we found him!" Both breathed heavily. Found who, I aksed myself. My sister and I looked at eachother for a moment. "Uncle, it was really the ghost general!"
