The attention of the senior and junior students gradually shifted to the newly arrived junior sister.
Bai Ying was ignored and disliked by her fellow disciples, and even her most beloved senior brother began to distance himself from her.
When the spirit stones in the cultivation room disappeared again, Bai Ying clutched the empty box and went to find her senior brother.
The other person casually flipped through the account book, the scent of ink mingling with the aroma of tea wafting over: "Junior Sister has a special constitution and needs more spiritual energy to nourish her." He suddenly looked up, his gaze behind his glasses as icy as ice, "You are the senior sister, you should know how to be considerate."
The rain outside the window had started falling at some point. When Bai Ying stepped out of the door, she bumped into her junior sister laughing and joking with the others. The jade hairpin in her hair was so bright that it was hard to open one's eyes.
On her birthday, Bai Ying overheard the servants' conversation while helping out in the kitchen.
"I heard that Junior Sister's birthday is in a month, and Master specially transported Mermaid Tears from the East China Sea, saying he would give them to her on that day."
But on that day, no one remembered Bai Ying's birthday, because she was an orphan. Even if she had a birthday, it would be fake, arbitrarily set. And who would care?
Bai Ying's hands trembled slightly as she kneaded the dough, her nails digging into the soft flour. She cooked herself a bowl of longevity noodles, wishing herself a happy birthday.
The most devastating moment was that full moon night. When the junior sister placed the gilded hairpin into Bai Ying's palm, she said, "Senior sister, this is for you."
But in an instant, she collapsed into her senior brother's arms, sobbing in front of everyone: "That was a keepsake left to me by my mother, and my senior sister stole it..."
"Senior sister, I know you hate me, but you shouldn't have touched my mother's belongings!"
Bai Ying's fingers, gripping the hairpin tightly, were already bleeding, but she only received a cold rebuke from her senior brother: "A thief who steals things, does he deserve to stay on the main peak?"
Zhou Ying's screams were swallowed up by an invisible barrier.
She watched as Bai Ying was led to the dilapidated woodshed behind the mountain. As they passed the courtyard filled with blooming roses, she heard her junior sister's coquettish laughter: "That girl thought I really gave her the hairpin! How ridiculous!"
"No...don't do this..."
Zhou Ying cried in her dream, but no one heard her.
She watched helplessly as Bai Ying grew increasingly silent, as the once lively and cheerful child gradually became more and more withdrawn.
Zhou Ying noticed that the junior sister was targeting Bai Ying at every turn.
Hearing Bai Ying's fellow disciples say all sorts of nasty things to her, she stood in front of Bai Ying like a female beast.
"You fools, why can't you find out the truth instead of just believing everything you hear!"
But no matter how fiercely she cursed, it was useless; she was powerless to do anything about it.
She could only watch helplessly as they punished Bai Ying for the sake of that so-called junior sister.
"Bastards, you bunch of bastards!"
Bai Ying's life in the entire Huayang Sect was like living in hell.
Those heartless bastards, all they know how to do is bully Bai Ying all day long, and they always side with that so-called junior sister.
They believed whatever their junior sister said.
No matter how Bai Ying tried to explain, no one believed her.
Especially Bai Ying's senior brother, who always punished Bai Ying for the sake of his junior sister, even gave her her residence to be used as a garden. This forced Bai Ying to move to the back mountain alone.
Looking at the lonely and helpless Bai Ying, Zhou Ying wished she could appear in front of her immediately, hold her in her arms, and comfort her deeply.
"Xiao Ying, my daughter. I thought you were living a good life in the sect... What kind of life have you been living?"
Zhou Ying was in tears.
Her daughter was having such a hard time, but she knew nothing about it. Since adopting Bai Di, she had never gone to see Bai Ying again!
If she had found Bai Ying sooner, how could Bai Ying have ended up living such a life?
"my daughter......"
Zhou Ying was practically in tears.
However, she did not expect that this was not the worst of it.
She overheard her junior sister with a young man named Xiao Yu.
"Brother Xiao Yu," the junior sister said, fiddling with the young man's sash, "why don't you go after Bai Ying? Wait until she's completely devoted to you..."
The young man chuckled: "And then?"
"Then dump her in front of everyone!" The junior sister laughed heartily. "I want everyone to see just how despicable she is!"
"You beast!" Zhou Ying's eyes were bloodshot as she lunged at the two of them like a madwoman.
"Bastards! Bastards! I'm going to kill you all!"
But no matter how angry she was, no matter how much she wanted to kill them, it was all in vain. She couldn't touch anyone and could only watch helplessly as Xiao Yu got closer and closer to her Bai Ying!
That damned bastard, knowing that Bai Ying is now abandoned by everyone, keeps appearing in front of her to show her care and concern.
No matter how much Zhou Ying cursed, Bai Ying quickly succumbed...
She did many things for Xiao Yu, even refining his natal magic weapon while seriously injured.
Finally, she even put on a wedding dress, wanting to marry him...
But on that day, Bai Ying didn't get the wedding she dreamed of. Instead, she was met with revenge, betrayal, and being turned into a joke.
Zhou Ying watched Bai Ying go crazy, watched her suffer.
I felt like I'd gone mad.
She wished she could draw her sword and kill all these bastards.
I also wish I could slap myself twice.
Why wasn't she by Bai Ying's side when Bai Ying needed her most?
No one stood in her way!
She could only watch helplessly as Bai Ying was hurled at by everyone, stabbed through the chest by her junior brother's sword, and then collapsed to the ground...
Zhou Ying stared in shock at everything before her, feeling as if her heart was being torn apart along with Bai Ying's.
She rushed in front of Bai Ying and roared like a madwoman.
"my daughter!"
