"Is this me? How did I become like this?"
Su Mengyao muttered to herself, but then added, "I might have gotten a little carried away. But it's nothing. After all, my status has indeed risen. I'm no longer the little girl I used to be, which is perfectly normal."
Even so, Su Mengyao's face still burned.
This change doesn't seem very glorious.
Su Mengyao continued reading.
To her relief, most of the following scenes were harmonious.
Even so, she acted more assertive than before.
However, her relationship with Gu Jian remained stable.
Sometimes, after she had asked him for a big favor, she would reward him with a kiss.
"It's just a different way of getting along, nothing serious."
"After all, people grow up and mature."
"I can't stay that little girl forever."
Su Mengyao drew a conclusion.
However, she felt a vague unease in her heart.
Because so far, young Gu Jian has treated her as well as he did when they first met.
Even better.
She felt that Gu Jian truly loved her back then, which was why he acted that way.
Every change in anyone has a reason.
Why did Gu Jian change his attitude towards me?
Did I really do something to betray him?
With her doubts, Su Mengyao continued reading.
The scene shifts to two years later.
That year, Su Mengyao turned fourteen.
The girl, with her fresh and ethereal beauty, has blossomed into a lovely young woman.
At that time, her figure had not yet fully developed, but she was already hailed as the most beautiful girl in the human realm for thousands of years.
Through the Spring of Reincarnation, Su Mengyao saw herself and followed her mother to the Misty Sect.
Because of matters related to cultivation, the mother sought out Ye Qingcheng, the sect leader of the Misty Sect, to exchange ideas on cultivation.
Because her fiancé, Gu Jian, was in seclusion for those two days.
Aside from spending time with Liu Ruyan, with whom she had become best friends two years ago, Su Mengyao also spends time with Liu Ruyan.
He would often wander around the Misty Sect alone.
That day, the young girl Su Mengyao met a young man.
He claimed to be the fourth disciple of the Misty Sect Master.
In the Valley of Reincarnation, Su Mengyao recognized him at a glance; he was Ye Chen.
That was the first time she met Ye Chen.
To Su Mengyao's surprise, despite being the Holy Maiden of the Tianyao Sect and always acting superior to others, she was surprisingly friendly to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen in the Spring of Reincarnation is also very eloquent.
Praise her in all sorts of creative ways.
That day, the girl Su Mengyao spent an afternoon with Ye Chen, and she laughed most of the time.
"Ye Chen, you're quite an interesting person, much more interesting than your senior brother."
"It's getting late, I'll head back now. I'll come find you again tomorrow."
"Alright, Holy Maiden Yao'er. See you tomorrow, I'll be waiting for you here."
Ye Chen was very attentive and escorted Su Mengyao out of the valley.
Ai Youwei and Liu Ruyan were both stunned.
Now they know that Ye Chen is a despicable person, as despicable and disgusting as can be.
She even schemed against her senior brother.
But Su Mengyao was so friendly to Ye Chen, and even found him interesting?
The two couldn't help but look at Su Mengyao.
Ai Youwei became increasingly annoyed with Su Mengyao.
I feel like she betrayed her senior brother a long time ago.
Su Mengyao frowned and said, "Why are you all looking at me like that? Back then, it was the first time I met Ye Chen, and I didn't know what kind of person he was."
"I was friendly to him, but it was just out of politeness."
"Is that so?"
Liu Ruyan and Ai Youwei were skeptical.
"Of course it's true."
Su Mengyao spoke, but felt somewhat guilty.
She didn't know why, but she felt a sense of familiarity when she saw Ye Chen.
Even though I haven't seen him many times, I still think he's a reliable person.
Su Mengyao didn't know where this feeling of closeness came from.
She couldn't figure it out either, so she continued watching.
Through the Spring of Reincarnation, she saw that she and Ye Chen got along very well over the next few days.
On this day, the young girl Su Mengyao saw Ye Chen again.
Upon seeing Su Mengyao, Ye Chen smiled and asked, "Holy Maiden Yao'er, have you been in contact with your senior brother these past two days?"
The young girl, Su Mengyao, shook her head and said, "I heard that he has gone into seclusion. I can't contact him even using the communication jade slip."
Ye Chen shook his head and smiled, saying, "What seclusion? Saintess Yao'er, you've been fooled."
"Were we deceived?"
"Um!"
Ye Chen nodded, looked at Su Mengyao, and said, "There are some things I don't want to say because I'm worried that saying them will affect your relationship with Senior Brother. However, I can't bear to see you being deceived all this time."
The young girl, Su Mengyao, was immediately taken aback. "What are you talking about? What do you mean by being deceived?"
Ye Chen said, "Senior Brother, he's actually not a good person."
"What?"
The young girl, Su Mengyao, was immediately surprised.
Ye Chen continued, "Senior Brother didn't go into seclusion either. He was punished by Master and placed in solitary confinement."
Confinement?
The girl, Su Mengyao, asked in surprise, "Why are you being put in solitary confinement?"
Ye Chen said, "Half a month ago, our senior brother led hundreds of fellow disciples to a secret realm for training. They encountered an extremely powerful spirit beast. As a result, our senior brother ran away alone. Most of the people who went with him were killed by the spirit beast!"
"For this matter, Master severely punished Senior Brother. It was all because Senior Brother was greedy for life and afraid of death that so many fellow disciples died. Do you think he was a good person?"
Are they afraid of death and clinging to life?
The young girl, Su Mengyao, was stunned. "Gu Jian shouldn't be that kind of person."
Ye Chen sneered and said, "Holy Maiden Yao'er, you can know a person's face but not their heart. You think he's not that kind of person just because he's good at pretending."
"Besides, does Saintess Yao'er think I'm the kind of person who would lie? What good would it do me to deceive Saintess Yao'er like this?"
"Everyone in the Misty Sect knows about this. Saintess Yao'er can just ask around and she'll find out. And..."
"Oh." After thinking about it, the girl Su Mengyao felt that the other party had no reason to deceive her.
She looked at Ye Chen and asked again, "Anything else?"
Ye Chen said, "Before that, something else happened."
"What's up?"
The young girl, Su Mengyao, pressed for an answer.
Ye Chen said, "Two months ago, Senior Brother secretly sneaked into Senior Sister Youwei and Senior Sister Ruyan's valley to peep at them taking a bath."
"The eldest brother even stole their undergarments that they had left by the stream!"
"What?"
Su Mengyao's eyes widened, and her dreamlike face showed an expression of disbelief.
Ye Chen sighed and said, "Actually, Senior Brother has done many other evil things..."
The young girl, Su Mengyao, immediately became excited and asked, "What did you do?"
Ye Chen said, "He stole the personal clothing of the disciples and elders of Misty Peak. A lot of undergarments were found in his room. It's disgusting!"
"..."
