He Jingjing was nominally Wu Xiuyun's maid, but in reality, Wu Xiuyun didn't need her to do anything. Cultivators possessed magical skills; they didn't need to wash clothes or clean their houses every day. Simply performing the "Dust Removal Technique" would take care of everything. Wu Xiuyun spent nine out of ten days in seclusion, cultivating, and had no need to rely on He Jingjing.
With the title of "the master's personal disciple and favorite maidservant," He Jingjing lived a comfortable life. The only thing that made He Jingjing feel regretful was that she would never see Wen Ziqing again. For two lifetimes, He Jingjing's only obsession was to marry Wen Ziqing. After arriving at Yushan Sect, He Jingjing realized the gap between cultivators and ordinary people. He Jingjing is now a cultivator. Although she is only a cultivator with five spiritual roots, she is still a member of the high-ranking cultivators, isn't she?
Once you become a cultivator, the difference between you and ordinary people is as great as heaven and earth. The world of cultivation has always been dominated by men and women, and as long as female cultivators don't have too strange tempers, they are always sought after by male cultivators.
As for the beauty of female cultivators, the cultivators didn't place much importance on it. After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, cultivators had another chance to reshape their bodies. Even the ugliest female cultivator could use this opportunity to adjust her appearance. Without having to become a peerless beauty, it was easy to achieve an above-average appearance.
He Jingjing's obsession has always been Wen Ziqing, even though her current status is much higher than Wen Ziqing (in He Jingjing's opinion), when she has free time, He Jingjing still feels a dull pain in her heart when she thinks that she has no chance to be with Wen Ziqing in this life.
In the first few days after arriving at Yushan Sect, He Jingjing was filled with ambition, hoping to quickly become a master of the Xuanmen sect. Wu Xiuyun's ferocious attack left He Jingjing stunned. For the first time, He Jingjing realized that women could also possess powerful strength.
He Jingjing's spiritual roots were too pure, only 35 percent, and her affinity with spiritual energy was too low. Every day, He Jingjing sat cross-legged until her body numb, yet she couldn't feel even a shred of spiritual energy. After ten days or half a month, He Jingjing lost her patience, spending less time cultivating and more time gossiping with the menial disciples.
To curry favor with He Jingjing, a prominent figure in Wu Xiuyun's life, the menial disciples of Xiaoyao Peak were relentless in their confidants. From these menial disciples, He Jingjing learned that cultivators like her, with only five spiritual roots, were essentially "useless." He Jingjing understood the meaning of "useless," and it seemed she was destined to never achieve immortality.
He Jingjing's heart began to stir again. Since she couldn't become an immortal, she might as well find a reliable and capable man to spend her life with! He Jingjing thought so.
He Jingjing had arrived more than a month earlier than Wen Ziqing and had already known about the strange gate in the Langyuan Secret Realm from the gossip of other menial disciples.
When He Jingjing heard the news, she was even more dejected than Wen Ziqing. Reaching the middle stage of Qi training wasn't easy at all. If the gate to the Langyuan Secret Realm couldn't be opened, she couldn't return home. She couldn't become an immortal, and she couldn't return home either. So, did that mean she had to find a male cultivator she liked in the Langyuan Secret Realm?
He Jingjing withdrew her thoughts from Wen Ziqing and began to select male cultivators that she liked. Unfortunately, she was a useless person with only five spiritual roots. The male cultivators with high cultivation levels looked down on her, and He Jingjing also looked down on the Qi training disciples with low cultivation levels. For a time, He Jingjing felt that her life began to become bleak.
Somehow, ever since arriving at Yushan Sect, He Jingjing had lost contact with her "system." Without the constant guidance of her "system" by her side, He Jingjing felt completely lost. After all, He Jingjing's confidence in following Wu Xiuyun to Yushan Sect stemmed from her possession of an all-powerful system.
Over the past month, He Jingjing has been trying hard to adapt to an unfamiliar environment. She has a lot of things she wants to say, but she doesn't dare to tell the errand disciples of Xiaoyao Peak. She is almost suffocating to death.
Facing Wen Ziqing, He Jingjing felt like she had endless things to say. Even though Wen Ziqing had deliberately arranged for them to meet in an open courtyard, even though there wasn't even a cup of tea, even though Wen Ziqing had a cold expression the entire time, even though he only responded with "hmm" and "oh," nothing could dampen He Jingjing's fiery heart.
After not seeing each other for a year, He Jingjing felt that Wen Ziqing had matured a lot. He had begun to reveal the calmness and sternness he had in his previous life when he was in a high position. At this moment, just looking at Wen Ziqing's handsome profile, He Jingjing felt that she could not get enough of looking at him.
Wen Ziqing hated He Jingjing to death. He had told him several times that he had things to do, but He Jingjing acted as if he hadn't heard him. She kept chattering away, especially when she called him "Brother Ziqing." Her voice was so sweet, and her eyes kept blinking at him, giving Wen Ziqing goosebumps.
Wen Ziqing only wanted Zhou Yuanyuan to call him "Brother Ziqing." When his little girl called him "Brother Ziqing," her voice was like a gentle brush, brushing Wen Ziqing's heart with itch. He couldn't get enough of it. Forget about women other than the little girl! Wen Ziqing felt he couldn't handle it.
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land should have been a pleasant surprise, but when this old friend turned out to be He Jingjing, Wen Ziqing felt completely frightened. Wen Ziqing remembered that Zhou Yuanyuan didn't like He Jingjing, and if his little girl didn't like someone, Wen Ziqing certainly wouldn't like her either.
Wen Ziqing had lived two lives, and although he had never been in love, he could still sense the burning love in He Jingjing's eyes. If it weren't for He Shumin, Wen Ziqing would have wanted to kick her out.
"Ziqing, have you finished your homework for today?" The arrival of Taoist Baopu relieved Wen Ziqing's embarrassing situation at the right time.
"Not yet." Wen Ziqing hurriedly stood up as Baopu Taoist strode into the courtyard. No matter how much Wen Ziqing disliked Baopu Taoist, his dedication to teaching him these past few days was genuine. For the sake of "teaching and learning," Wen Ziqing was willing to give Baopu Taoist the respect he deserved.
"Didn't I tell you not to slack off in your cultivation before I left?" Baopu Taoist's voice was filled with suppressed anger. Whenever he thought of Wen Ziqing's delay in cultivation due to He Jingjing's arrival, Baopu Taoist wouldn't even glance at He Jingjing, as if she were nothing but air.
"Yes, then I will go to practice." Wen Ziqing nodded to Taoist Baopu and walked into the bamboo house.
