"Little Ge'er, you've come down the mountain to sever all ties with your family, so you must be careful. It's a pity your senior brother is in seclusion, otherwise we could have asked him to help you."
"It's alright, Master, I can manage on my own."
The handsome man before him sighed, then reached out and stroked the person's hair: "If anything happens, remember to summon your master or senior brothers and sisters, understand?"
Wan Ge nodded obediently: "I understand, Master. Don't worry, I'm very powerful. Didn't you say that ordinary people can't hurt me?"
“Ordinary people can’t hurt you, but the people you’re going to get close to are not ordinary people. Also, you can’t use magic indiscriminately after you go down the mountain. You can only use it to protect yourself. So how can your master not worry?”
He was genuinely worried about his little apprentice, who hadn't been in contact with anything down the mountain since he'd taken her in.
"My martial arts skills are also very high. After I return home, I will definitely send messages to my master from time to time."
"Alright, alright, hurry down the mountain, or it will get dark. Your master put a bag of gold leaves in your bundle; you'll need them down the mountain."
"good."
Money is never needed on the mountain; gold and silver are the least valuable things there.
So I never paid any attention to Wan Ge before, but I had heard from my senior brothers and sisters who had gone down the mountain that gold and silver were very important things down there.
She nearly starved to death in the village when she was two years old, and then her master took her up the mountain. From then on, she never had any contact with the people down the mountain.
Now that her cultivation has stalled, her master says it's because she hasn't severed her family ties. So her master arranged for her to go down the mountain to sever those ties herself and have her parents sign a letter of severance. That would complete half of her mission.
Wange has no memory of her parents, since she was abandoned in the village right after she was born, and she doesn't think she has ever seen what her parents look like.
She had no feelings for her parents, so she didn't think much of it when they signed a letter severing all ties with her.
…
Wan Ge returned to the manor that her family had sent her to. Her master said that as long as she returned here, someone would take her to see her parents.
As soon as Wan Ge stood at the door, she heard a voice inside say, "Damn it, so much time has passed, where is Miss? Have you lost her?"
The person kneeling on the ground was trembling all over. Just as they were about to speak, the woman standing next to the old woman spoke up: "Look! Isn't that the young lady?"
Upon hearing this, the old woman immediately stood up and put her teacup aside.
Then she walked to the door and saw Wan Ge standing there. The old woman was surprised when she saw Wan Ge's face.
This face used to resemble the lady's face by about 60%, but it was even more beautiful than the lady who was famous throughout the capital at that time.
She perfectly inherited the lady's strengths while eliminating her weaknesses. Her face looked exceptionally perfect, and the nanny was stunned by her beauty.
Based on the fact that she looked six-tenths like the lady, the old woman was certain that the person in front of her was the second young lady who had been sent to the country estate.
"Second Miss, you're finally back! How could you, a young lady from a respectable family, run around like this?"
"That's right, that's right. How can a young lady like you run around like this?"
"Wandering around?" They clearly lost him a long time ago. Do these people not know what he has been through?
But it's alright, since I'm going back to sever ties with my family anyway.
"Miss, don't stand there, get in the carriage quickly, we're taking you back to the capital to enjoy a life of luxury."
"You would be so kind?" If they were really that kind, they wouldn't have abandoned her in the first place, leaving her to fend for herself on the estate.
"What are you saying, Miss? Let's get in the car."
Wan Ge nodded and boarded the carriage.
…
Zhuangzi lived quite far from the capital city, and it took him three days to finally reach it.
Wan Ge felt like she was about to get dizzy from being jostled around in the carriage. If she had known it would be this slow, she would have been able to go faster even using her light-footed skills.
Wan Ge felt like she was about to fall asleep in the carriage when she suddenly heard someone outside the carriage shout, "We've arrived at the Prime Minister's residence."
Then an old woman lifted the carriage curtain and said to Wan Ge, "Miss, the Prime Minister has arrived. Let's get off the carriage."
Wan Ge nodded and, with the old woman's help, got off the carriage.
Everyone in the Prime Minister's residence was waiting at the gate. Among them was a man with a hint of disdain in his eyes, but he was stunned for a moment when Wan Ge got out of the carriage.
When the Prime Minister saw Wan Ge, he also felt a moment of disorientation.
It's as if I'm seeing my wife when she was young, but I think she's even more beautiful than she was back then. My wife was the most beautiful woman in the world back then.
They really are their offspring; they've grown up to be so good-looking.
Although the other person was dressed in a plain blue robe without any sleeves, he exuded an air of nobility that was hard to conceal.
The person standing next to the Prime Minister asked incredulously, "Father, is she really my sister? Wasn't she just a country girl raised on a farm since she was little? How can she be so beautiful and have such an elegant air..."
The other party's every move is no less refined than that of a lady from a noble family. The fact that she was raised on a farm and still managed to develop in this way suggests that her parents must have had someone take good care of her.
After all, she is her parents' own daughter, and they shouldn't mistreat her.
When the Prime Minister's wife saw her, she was also somewhat incredulous. Her daughter was even more beautiful than she had been when she was young. Her elegant demeanor was not at all like that of someone raised in a country estate. Her bearing seemed to be even better than that of her own daughter, whom she had carefully raised.
