Nian Wanzhou cried for about 45 minutes before finally peeking out from Wei Wenru's arms, still holding her tightly with lingering affection.
"I'm sorry, I..." Nian Wanzhou finally realized how embarrassing she had made, but she couldn't help it!
She was even more reluctant to leave her senior sister's embrace.
“It’s alright. I heard from the Sixth Elder that you’re missing your parents, right? I’m your senior sister. As the saying goes, an elder sister is like a mother. You can be like this…” Wei Wenru was unexpectedly gentle, holding the little dumpling without any intention of letting go.
The two junior brothers were stunned.
Senior sister? How can she be so gentle? She really has that gentle demeanor that only applies to children. I'm so envious.
Nian Wanzhou then raised her head, her eyes still red and swollen, looking like a pitiful little rabbit.
"Really?" Nian Wanzhou couldn't believe it, but her eyes lit up. This was great; she could finally express all the feelings in her heart!
Hehehe...
She patted Nian Wanzhou on the back: "Alright, don't be sad, come and eat! This is your first official meal, and your first time at the Tianji Sect! Come and try your senior sister's cooking~"
"Okay." Nian Wanzhou, with snot and tears streaming down her face, crawled out of Wei Wenru's arms and then wiped her tears away forcefully.
"Let me serve you some rice!" Wei Wenru said as she handed the little dumpling to Nian Wanzhou.
"Mmm~ Thank you, Senior Sister!" Nian Wanzhou nodded happily as she took the dumpling. "Senior Brothers, please sit down too!"
"Oh, right, this is... your senior brother, Song Yan." Wei Wenru then remembered to introduce the two junior brothers who had been overlooked, pointing to Song Yan standing to her right.
Song Yan was the person she initially mistook for her father, and Wei Wenru awkwardly avoided his gaze.
"This is Lexi, your second senior brother. You should have met him at the foot of the mountain."
"There is another one, your third senior brother. He is currently training outside and has not yet returned. I will introduce you to him when he comes back."
After she finished speaking, she called out to Song Yan and Le Xi, and the two of them walked to the table and sat down.
Le Xi pouted and frowned slightly at Nian Wanzhou with a hint of disdain.
Nian Wanzhou then obediently poured everyone a cup of tea, showing great care and consideration, before sitting down and waiting for everyone to eat together.
Just like when I was at home.
Nian Wanzhou felt extremely satisfied. She realized that she was very lucky to be able to meet her parents in this world, eat her mother's cooking, and pour water for her father.
She suddenly remembered what the Heavenly Dao had said: if this world collapsed and the villains broke through the defenses, it would affect her parents in that world. From this perspective, there was a reason for it, because her senior sister and senior brother were her parents in that world.
This outcome is far from ideal.
She initially agreed only for her parents' sake, but now it seems she has no choice but to do it.
She couldn't bear the thought of her parents in this world also having an accident.
"Come on, try my cooking. I made quite a few dishes today!" Wei Wenru warmly greeted Nian Wanzhou while picking out some dishes for her to taste.
"Thank you, Senior Sister!" Nian Wanzhou didn't stand on ceremony and immediately picked up a piece of food and put it in her mouth. "Wow, Senior Sister's cooking is so good, it's delicious!!"
That's true, Wei Wenru's cooking skills are really good.
You can tell by looking at those two fellow disciples wolfing down a southern fish; their hands were moving so fast they were blurry, as if they were afraid of missing out on food.
After the meal, everyone gracefully rested and wiped their mouths, leaving not a single grain of rice on the table.
...
The junior students all cleaned up the dishes on their own, while the senior sister took her junior sister Nian Wanzhou to play in the courtyard.
When Nian Wanzhou followed Wei Wenru into the courtyard, her senior brother brought out several plates of fruit. She sat on a stone bench, munching on the spiritual fruit and laughing out loud from time to time, thoroughly enjoying herself.
Wei Wenru stood beside her, resting her chin on her hand, watching her eat with a doting expression: "Wanwan, from now on, your senior sister will teach you. When you reach your senior sister's level, your master will personally teach you."
Wei Wenru personally taught all three junior brothers to the sect. Only when they reached the Foundation Establishment stage were they formally led into the sect of personal disciples by their master to learn the essentials of sword cultivation from their master.
Because... this master is rather lazy.
He leaves many things to his daughter to handle.
"Why wasn't it my master who took me on?" Nian Wanzhou asked, blinking as she munched on some fruit.
“Master is very busy. He was injured when he was killing demons and monsters before, and his health is not very good now, so I will take care of you.” Wei Wenru explained patiently, her eyes looking at Nian Wanzhou with great tenderness.
"Okay!" Nian Wanzhou nodded in understanding.
She had heard about her master's personality; he was very easygoing, liked a free and unrestrained life, disliked being constrained, and... had a childlike nature.
That's good. Since Master is injured, she should rest and recuperate properly. When she is able to gain more experience in the future, she can buy some tonics for Master, Godfather, and fellow disciples to help them recover.
However, it seems that my senior sisters are all sword cultivators.
She happens to be a body cultivator, so will teaching her like this be okay...?
Nian Wanzhou's face scrunched up. Had her choice of body cultivation caused them trouble?
Looking at her expression, Wei Wenru assumed she was worried about her master: "Don't worry, Master is a dual cultivator of sword and body, so he's tough and resilient. He'll be fine after some rest."
"Senior sister, I... I chose body cultivation, am I causing you trouble?" Nian Wanzhou asked anxiously.
So that's what you were worried about.
Wei Wenru patted her head: "No, that's not true. We sword cultivators also need to cultivate our physique, otherwise our sword energy will be weak and useless. So you don't need to worry about causing us trouble. Everyone needs to train their physique, it's just..."
"You will experience more and more difficulties in your practice."
"I'm not afraid of hardship!" Nian Wanzhou said with a smile. She had endured the pain of chemotherapy and surgery in the past, so she was definitely not afraid of this.
She was very happy to be able to run and do vigorous exercise again.
Seeing the determination in Nian Wanzhou's eyes, Wei Wenru was even happier. It seemed that her junior sister was a teachable talent!
As expected of the treasure that the Sixth Elder picked up, it is indeed extraordinary.
"Alright, let's start with the basic body tempering tomorrow." Wei Wenru made the decision. "Once you've gotten used to it, I'll send you to train with the new disciples. You can ask me anything you don't understand then."
"Okay!" Nian Wanzhou readily agreed, secretly resolving in her heart that she would definitely live up to expectations.
Since the newly initiated disciples had not yet all completed their tests, and there was no distinction between inner and outer sects, Nian Wanzhou was able to train with them.
