Chapter 40 If Life Were Only As Beautiful As Our First Meeting



Ye Qingcheng muttered to herself.

However, she soon realized that she was wrong.

Even after Ye Qingcheng took in three more disciples, Gu Jian did not distance himself from her at all.

He has become more sensible than before.

Knowing that it was not easy for her to teach her three disciples, he took the initiative to assume the responsibility of being the eldest disciple.

Besides helping his junior sisters and brothers with their cultivation and daily life.

Every morning he would get up early to collect spiritual dew, make it into spiritual food that could replenish his spirit and soul, and then send it to her.

At this moment, Ye Qingcheng, who was in the secret realm, realized that it would take so long to prepare a small bowl of spiritual food.

Every morning, Gu Jian would get up at 3 AM to collect spiritual dew containing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. By the time he finished preparing a small bowl of spiritual food, it was already 7 AM.

This surprised Ye Qingcheng.

She always thought that Gu Jian's spiritual food wouldn't take much time, at most a quarter of an hour.

It actually takes a full two hours?!

Ye Qingcheng thought to herself that it must be because Gu Jianxiao was not familiar with the technique.

But then she discovered that the same thing would happen when Gu Jian grew up a bit.

These procedures are very complicated, especially collecting the spiritual dew, which takes a very long time every day.

"No wonder Jian'er's spiritual food is so delicious; he put so much thought into it."

"For a while, I felt that Jian'er was listless when he listened to my sermons. It turns out that he gets up so early every day."

"Back then, Jian'er was so good to me, and I was good to him too!"

Ye Qingcheng thought to herself, and continued reading.

After a moment, she was slightly taken aback.

The reason is simply because, in the images, she wasn't as good to him as he thought.

When allocating funds to disciples each month.

She gave the best spiritual medicines and fruits to her fourth disciple, Ye Chen, the second best to her second disciple, Liu Ruyan, and the third disciple, Ai Youwei.

The rest was given to Gu Jian.

When the fourth disciple, Ye Chen, made a mistake.

When he was little, she would coax him; as he grew older, she would accommodate him and understand him.

However, when Gu Jian makes a mistake.

She usually punishes him directly.

The severity of the punishment exceeded her expectations.

For example, Gu Jian accidentally dropped the spiritual fruit that he was asked to give to his fourth disciple, Ye Chen, on the ground.

In the video, she severely punished him with fifty lashes.

It was only because the fourth disciple, Ye Chen, said that the eldest brother did it on purpose.

For example, when Gu Jian and his fourth disciple Ye Chen had a conflict.

Even though Ye Chen provoked her first, she ended up demanding an apology from Gu Jian after she "learned" about it.

The reason was simply that Ye Chen was the youngest junior brother.

As the senior disciple, Gu Jian should give way to Ye Chen.

"How could I? How could I treat Jian'er like this, treating them so differently?"

"That's impossible."

"It must be because Jian'er made some unforgivable mistakes that I have some prejudice against him."

Inside the secret realm, Ye Qingcheng's expression turned grim.

She couldn't believe she would treat Gu Jian like that.

She activated the power of the Reincarnation Mirror and looked ahead again.

No matter how many times she looked at it, she couldn't see it.

In the scene, Gu Jian has always been filial to her since she was a child.

That feeling was like treating a close relative, like one's own mother.

But she became increasingly harsh on him.

After reviewing the footage several times, Ye Qingcheng realized that it all seemed to have started with taking on her fourth disciple, Ye Chen.

Ever since Ye Chen came to Misty Peak.

She became cold and indifferent towards Gu Jian, and reserved all her kindness for Ye Chen.

"Why is this happening? Chen'er is my disciple, and Jian'er is also my disciple. Why am I treating them differently?!"

"Although Chen'er started learning the skills a few years later, he is only one year younger than Jian'er."

"The two of them are almost the same age."

"It must be because Jian'er is the senior brother. Yes, that must be it. Jian'er is the senior brother, which is why I am stricter with him. I do this for his own good."

Ye Qingcheng tried to convince herself with these words.

However, it was unsuccessful.

Because, if it is for Gu Jian's own good, the main approach should be to teach him, with punishment as a secondary measure.

However, the version of himself in the picture didn't teach Gu Jian much.

He was only punished directly when he made a mistake.

After the punishment, he was made to reflect on his actions.

The tenderness that was once given to Gu Jian when he was a child seems to have been transferred to Ye Chen as well.

Seeing all this, Ye Qingcheng couldn't accept it.

What she found even more unacceptable was that even in this state...

Gu Jian remained as filial to her as ever.

Except when she is alone, she will show a wronged and lonely expression.

At other times, he remained the perfect senior brother, and he went to great lengths to please her.

It seems that in his mind, this method could win back her kindness towards him.

Upon seeing this, Ye Qingcheng was somewhat disarmed.

Tears streamed down my face.

Ye Qingcheng was a little sad, thinking that Gu Jian had gradually changed as he grew up.

They became less obedient than when they were children.

But after looking at it, I realized that it was her who had changed.

"Old friends change so easily, yet people say it's the old friend's heart that's fickle. Jian'er has never changed; it's me who has changed?"

Ye Qingcheng couldn't accept it; her heart was trembling.

She suppressed her heartache and continued watching.

This time, Ye Qingcheng saw herself lying in a hospital bed.

Several years have passed since the last scene.

Gu Jian was taking care of her.

"This was three years ago, when I failed to break through to the Saint Realm and suffered severe Dao injuries. At that time, Chen'er was in seclusion, while Youwei and Ruyan went out to train. Only Jian'er stayed by my side to take care of me."

“I told him that after this Dao injury, I would never be able to break through to the Saint Realm in this lifetime. Jian’er comforted me, saying that there would definitely be a chance, and that my Dao injury would heal quickly.”

Seeing this scene, Ye Qingcheng felt another pang of pain in her heart.

Of the four disciples, only Gu Jian stayed behind to take care of him.

It's obvious who treats you best.

But then Ye Qingcheng discovered that Gu Jian's actions after she was injured were not the same.

The image on the Moon Goddess Mirror changed once again.

Gu Jian was sitting alone in his cave, flipping through books.

Those are books on formations.

He flipped through the pages, muttering to himself with a solemn expression.

"Master suffered severe Dao injuries, and his blessings and fortune have been greatly diminished. Under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible for him to break through to the Saint Realm in this lifetime, and he may even perish."

"Unless someone transfers their blessings and fortune to Master, it is irreversible."

“I am a young supreme being with extraordinary luck and exceptional blessings. If I were to transfer my blessings and luck to my master, he would surely recover.”

"..."

"The technique of transferring blessings is called the Star Shifting and Immortal Marriage Array. It is a Heaven-level array, and with my array skills, I can set it up."

"Once the grafting is complete, my fortune and luck will plummet to rock bottom. I will never be able to climb the Great Dao again in this life, but for my master, it's all worth it!"
