The Lu family is located on Yingxiu Peak.
Ayao sat by the window, looking at the bright moon in the sky.
"A gentle breeze is coming, a gentle breeze is coming..."
After returning to the Lu family, A Yao kept thinking about Xu Fengzhi, who had saved her. She held the bottle of pills Xu Fengzhi had given her; these pills were extremely effective. After drinking them, she secluded herself to heal her injuries for a period of time. Not only were the injuries she sustained on Zhaoyao Mountain healed, but the foundation damaged by the electric torture in the water prison was also repaired.
She was very curious as to why Xu Fengzhi was helping her so much.
The pill he gave was clearly very expensive, and he just gave it to a stranger like that? He's really generous, A Yao thought to herself.
That day, Xu Fengzhi had a female disciple from the Shenmeng Sect escort A Yao back. A Yao saw the corpses of demonic beasts scattered on the ground, all killed by Xu Fengzhi. She asked the female disciple from the Shenmeng Sect if they didn't want these demonic beasts, and if so, could she have them instead?
The female disciple said they didn't need these, but Ayao could take them all if she wanted. Ayao unceremoniously put them all into her storage bag, and then the female disciple escorted her to a safe place. After the Shenmeng Sect female disciple left, Ayao kept a small portion of the demonic beasts Xu Fengzhi had killed for herself, and sold the rest.
She sold over three thousand high-grade spirit stones, which was a huge sum of money for her.
Thinking about how Xu Fengzhi saved her, gave her expensive pills, and even made her a fortune because of him, but... but...
She didn't even say thank you to him.
She didn't even say thank you to him.
Ayao wondered how she should thank him. But then she realized that he was the young master of the Divine Dream Sect, lacking nothing, and his cultivation was many realms higher than hers. She knew she couldn't possibly help him in any way, and she felt a wave of frustration.
After feeling frustrated, Ayao lay on the table and thought to herself: I can't stay at the Foundation Establishment stage forever, can I?
When she reaches the stage of Core Formation and Nascent Soul, perhaps, perhaps she can repay Xu Fengzhi for saving her.
With this thought, Ayao felt much better.
Time passed slowly, and A-Yao secluded herself on Yingxiu Peak for a while. The maids who served her were secretly hoping she would go into seclusion. They felt bad for her just seeing her. A-Yao now felt bad for them too, and she wanted to tell her mother to send the maids away. However, she figured her mother probably didn't want to see her, or even hear her.
She never forgot the look of disgust in her biological mother's eyes.
It's as if the child isn't their own, but some disgusting, filthy thing.
One day, above the sea of clouds, A Yao encountered Lu Yun Shen and Lu Yun Xing.
Ayao saw them and tried to walk around them, but the two of them chased after her. Lu Yunxing said angrily, "What do you mean? You run away as soon as you see us? What have you done wrong?"
Seeing Lu Yunxing's angry and ferocious expression, and recalling his gentleness towards Lu Xuening, A Yao felt a pang of pain in her heart. This was her own brother, the brother who treated her like an enemy, and who would maliciously interpret everything she did.
Seeing that A Yao remained silent, Lu Yunxing became even angrier: "Who are you trying to impress with this deadpan look all day long?"
"Fourth brother, don't be like this," Lu Yunshen scolded Lu Yunxing.
Lu Yunxing sneered: "She just doesn't learn her lesson. It seems she didn't spend enough time in the water dungeon before."
The mention of the water dungeon made Ayao tremble. She was terrified, terrified of entering that place. She still remembered the feeling of being on the verge of death; she had almost died there.
Seeing that A Yao's face had turned pale, Lu Yun Shen glared at Lu Yun Xing and said, "Don't scare her."
Lu Yunxing snorted coldly, and with a flash of light, he transformed into a golden rainbow and vanished. Lu Yunshen looked at A Yao, who was riding on a flying sword, and smiled: "That's just how your fourth brother is, don't take it to heart. Little Seven, how have you been lately?"
Are you alright?
Hearing this, Ayao's eyes stung again, and she tried hard to hold back her tears.
Are you alright? She endured such torture every day in the water dungeon; she almost died, she almost died! He asked her if she was alright. She almost died in the water dungeon, and then almost died on Zhaoyao Mountain. He asked her if she was alright.
"I'm fine, just being alive is good enough," Ayao said, feeling wronged.
Lu Yunshen could hear the grievance in A Yao's voice, but he misunderstood and said, "You still hold a grudge against Xiao Ba, don't you?"
"If I said yes, would Third Brother be planning to throw me into the water dungeon and lock me up there until I die?" A Yao said, looking at Lu Yun Shen, her tears finally bursting forth.
Looking at her red eyes and her thin, frail body, Lu Yunshen felt a pang of pain in his heart. He said, "No, I didn't mean that. Why would you think that? I just wanted you and Xiao Ba to get along."
"Third brother, tell me how I should get along with her. Should I kneel before her like a dog?" A-Yao asked, crying.
"Xiao Qi, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't be so extreme, okay?" Lu Yun Shen was angry.
Ayao remembered what the maids had said.
"She's not even as good as Miss Eight's dog."
I'm afraid she wouldn't even be worthy of being Lu Xuening's dog.
Ayao's vision was already blurry, and she ignored Lu Yunshen, flying away on her sword. Lu Yunshen watched her retreating figure and called out, "Little Seven—"
On the sea of clouds, Lu Yun Shen watched A Yao depart, his handsome face filled with helplessness and disappointment. "Little Seven, Little Seven, why are you so stubborn?" He sighed and flew towards Purple Extreme Peak. He took out a box from his storage bag; inside was a pair of jade bracelets, which he had bought for two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones—excellent defensive magic treasures.
Xiao Ba will definitely like it when he sees it.
Lu Yunshen's lips unconsciously curled up into a smile.
————
In a deserted valley, a thin girl dressed in white sat under a pine tree, hugging her knees and sobbing uncontrollably. She cried her heart out.
Ayao didn't understand why her family would treat her so cruelly.
She thought of Xu Fengzhi again, a complete stranger who treated her better than her own parents and her brother. She really wanted to leave this place. Since they didn't care about her anyway, she thought it would be better to leave and die outside than to stay here.
But she couldn't make up her mind. Deep down, she still had a hope that her parents and her brother would one day treat her well.
Time passed just like that, and five years went by in a flash.
Five years later, Ayao had grown much taller, but because she was frequently thrown into the water dungeon, she still looked thin, with a haggard and pale face, and a lifeless appearance.
Because of her good looks, although she had been tormented all along, as she grew up, a certain elegance appeared on her slender face, though she couldn't compare to Lu Xuening and other girls.
Ayao had been wanting to thank Xu Fengzhi, and at the banquet in Tianshui Palace, she finally saw him again.
