In Ai Youwei's opinion, there was nothing special about her first meeting with her senior brother.
When the eldest disciple returned to the sect after his training, he happened to see her.
Seeing how outstanding she is, it's only natural to do her a favor and help her join a sect.
But now, the scene before my eyes is so heartwarming.
Especially compared to her adoptive mother's attitude, it seemed even warmer.
It's like sunshine entering my heart.
However, Ai Youwei also had some doubts.
Am I not the Profound Yin Sacred Body?
How come you couldn't even pass the entrance exam back then?
However, after thinking about it carefully, Ai Youwei realized that she had not yet awakened her sacred body at that time.
His talent also seems average.
It's reasonable that he didn't join the Misty Sect.
In the secret realm, Ai Youwei clenched her fists tightly and looked into the Moon Goddess Mirror.
Within the Heaven-Mending Mirror, Yang Rong was utterly astonished, then sneered, saying, "Little brat, what are you talking about? You think you can bring people into the Misty Sect? Judging by your appearance, you're only ten years old, at most a menial disciple of the Misty Sect."
"A menial disciple can bring people into the Misty Sect? Don't be ridiculous."
She was stunned as soon as she finished speaking.
All the disciples in the square ran over and called this young senior brother.
More voices came through.
This young man is said to be a personal disciple of the Sect Master of the Misty Sect.
They said she was blind to the great man she was talking about.
Some people mocked her.
Yang Rong became increasingly astonished, and her expression turned sour.
But a moment later, her face changed to a friendly expression as she turned to the young Gu Jian and said, "Young master, I apologize to you. I was blind to your greatness and hope you will forgive my rudeness."
"I was just anxious, that's why I said those things."
After saying that, she came to Ai Youwei, her harsh expression softening. She patted Ai Youwei's head and said, "Youwei, since the young master is helping you, then you should go into the mountains with him."
"Remember to go home and visit your mother often when you're not cultivating, and bring her some treasures back with you."
"After all, your mother has spent a lot of time and effort raising you over the years."
"Oh, right, take these travel expenses and buy yourself some good food later."
The mother, now gentle again, took out some silver coins from her bosom and placed them into Ai Youwei's small hand.
Six-year-old Ai Youwei had never seen so much pocket money before.
She stopped crying and smiled happily, saying, "Mother, I understand. When I've succeeded in my cultivation, I'll come to see you. Youwei will bring back lots and lots of treasures for you."
"Mommy, hug me."
Young Ai Youwei asked her adoptive mother for a hug again.
This time, her adoptive mother did not refuse and picked her up.
This appears to be a scene of maternal love and filial piety.
But Aiyouwei in the secret realm was stunned.
It was because she discovered that her adoptive mother was not as close as she had imagined.
When he hugged her, his face showed disgust.
Her change of attitude seemed to be due to Gu Jian's appearance, who said he would take her into the Misty Sect.
"How could this be? Didn't Mother love me very much? Even though I'm not her biological daughter, she's always been very good to me since I was little."
"Back then, I also thought she was great. Even after I joined the sect, she still gave me so much pocket money..."
"It's not what I thought?"
Thinking of this, Ai Youwei's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and she continued, "No, it must be because she was under too much pressure. In those years, the Ouyang family, where my adoptive parents lived, spent a lot of resources to raise me."
“My adoptive father also had high expectations for me. His love for me was deep, and so were his expectations. It’s normal for him to have such high expectations of me. Yes, that must be it.”
"..."
Ai Youwei talked to herself, trying to convince herself in this way.
Then, the scene in the Heaven-Mending Mirror also changed.
It was Gu Jian who brought Ai Youwei into the Misty Sect.
Young Aiyouwei was full of curiosity about everything around her.
Hearing that the older brother who brought her in was the sect leader's personal disciple made her even happier.
In front of a cave, young Ai Youwei blinked her big, watery eyes and asked, "Big brother, am I considered a disciple of the Misty Sect now?"
Young Gu Jian nodded and said, "Yes. That's how it is now. But since I didn't pass the entrance exam, I'm only considered a menial disciple."
"However, now that I've brought you in, I will definitely help you become a formal disciple. Next, I will have my elder deacon help you set up a cave dwelling, where you will live from now on. I will also help you improve your talent."
"Once your talent improves, you can participate in the sect's assessment and become a formal disciple of the Misty Sect."
The girl, Ai Youwei, smiled sweetly and said, "Yes, big brother, I'll listen to you. But why are you so nice to me?"
"Because... I saw myself."
"Because I saw myself."
Ai Youwei didn't understand at first, but now she vaguely knows some of it.
I heard that back then, the eldest brother was also a child that Master had picked up.
Because she couldn't bear to see her adoptive mother treat her badly, she took action and brought her into the Misty Sect.
Inside the secret realm, Ai Youwei watched all of this, tears welling up in her eyes.
She felt that her senior brother was incredibly kind to her back then.
He was so good to himself when he was nobody.
Seeing all this, Ai Youwei felt a pang of pain in her heart.
The scene in the Heaven-Mending Mirror changed once again.
Although Ai Youwei was only a menial disciple when she first joined the sect, no one made things difficult for her because of the care of Gu Jian, the senior disciple personally taught by the sect leader.
Many disciples would volunteer to help her with tasks that were usually assigned to her as a servant.
Ai Youwei had always believed that it was all because of her charm back then.
People do that because I am incredibly cute.
But now that she's seen it, she realizes it's all because of Gu Jian.
If it weren't for Gu Jian...
She was still that little piece of trash who was ridiculed and could never seem to get started.
For the next year, young Gu Jian frequently visited Ai Youwei's cave.
He personally taught Ai Youwei to read and write, and also brought many spiritual fruits and medicines for her to eat.
Ai Youwei saw this when Gu Jian arrived.
Many of the servant disciples who lived on the same mountain peak as her were filled with envy.
It also greatly satisfied the vanity of the young girl, and her face was always beaming with happiness.
She would always eat all the spiritual fruits that Gu Jian brought.
Those spiritual fruits were something that other menial disciples could only dream of but never obtain.
Inside the secret realm, watching all this, Ai Youwei was deeply moved.
Even from her current perspective.
She also felt that she was very happy at that time.
"That hypocritical senior brother was actually quite nice to me back then."
"But things changed later."
Ai Youwei muttered to herself.
Then, as expected, she saw Gu Jian reveal his hypocritical side.
In the mirror of the heavens, he actually demanded that she take off her clothes.
But she was so young then, only six years old.
He had ideas about himself when he was so young.
But Ai Youwei soon realized she had made a mistake.
