You Jingjia
Monks have little luck with having children. It took You Shaojie and Zou Jinzhi many years of companionship before they had a child, You Jingjia.
Ever since Zou Jinzhi became pregnant, You Shaojie has never closed his mouth.
He usually liked to make little gadgets by himself, and this time he decided to make a sword for his unborn child himself.
Zou Jinzhi did not suffer at all during her pregnancy, and the couple believed that the child was very sensible, until You Jingjia got into trouble for the first time when she was two years old.
You Jingjia is very smart. She could walk when she was less than one year old. She never cries or makes a fuss, and there is no sign of her potential to cause trouble.
When she was two years old, she kicked over some snacks that Zou Jinzhi had just made. Seeing her mother looking at her angrily, the little girl blinked and reached out for a hug.
Zou Jinzhi couldn't bear to be mean to her, so he just lied to her and let it go.
When You Jingjia was ten years old, Zou Jinzhi finally couldn't stand it anymore. While You Jingjia was sneaking out to play, she grabbed You Shaojie and brought him into the house.
"Don't you know a lot of people? I can't bear to find a master for your daughter."
You Jingjia was used to being naughty, but every time she got into trouble she would blink her eyes and call "A'mother" obediently. Zou Jinzhi couldn't bear to scold her.
If this continues, she will get sick sooner or later.
You Shaojie was also having a headache: "Where can I find a master for her? Forget it, I'll go ask."
You Shaojie and Cang He were acquaintances and had a close friendship. Thinking that the other party was a sect leader after all and had a wider network of contacts, he decided to go and ask.

You Shaojie and Canghe hadn't seen each other for a long time. When he came, he saw him playing chess by himself, and he couldn't help but feel itchy.
You Shaojie was a terrible chess player, but that didn't stop him from enjoying the game. Right now, he was itching to play, and he even felt like he might win, even if he had divine help.
"Why are you here today? Aren't you going to travel with your wife and daughter?" Canghe looked up at him.
You Shaojie rubbed his hands and sat down opposite him: "I just happened to walk over here, it's not far away, so I came to see you. Come on, play a game with me."
Cang He did not refuse. If someone was looking for trouble, he would of course oblige him.
An hour later, the two looked at the chess game on the table in disbelief.
"I, I, I... I won?!" You Shaojie was so shocked that he stuttered.
Cang He couldn't believe that he would lose to such a bad chess player, but the facts were right in front of him.
Across from him, You Shaojie was so smug that he couldn't wait to announce it to the world. Cang He was speechless and choked.
"You also promised me a request, didn't you forget it?" You Shaojie said arrogantly.
A long time ago, Cang He was still a proud young man. He once promised You Shaojie that if he beat him in chess, he would grant him a request.
Cang He nodded: "Of course. As long as I can do it."
"My Jingjia is ten years old this year. It's a good time for her to start practicing Taoism. It's just right for her to join your sect." You Shaojie smiled and was not vague.
Cang He: ...?
He was a little speechless, but nodded: "Then bring the child here in a few days, I will take him in."
"You accept it?" You Shaojie exclaimed in surprise.
His original intention was to let his daughter enter Xuanxiao Sect so that he and his wife could leave with peace of mind, but he didn't expect Canghe to take her in on his own initiative.
"..." Cang He was stunned for once. He finally realized that what the man had just said was "I will become your sect's disciple."
But the words were already spoken, so how could he take them back? Helplessly, he nodded in agreement.
Never mind, just one more disciple.
After returning home, You Shaojie shared his joy with his wife, took out the Moon-Chasing Sword that he had forged long ago, and polished it again and again.
Although he knew that he would have to send his daughter to the sect for training sooner or later, when that day finally came, he still couldn't help but feel reluctant.
I worry that my daughter doesn’t have enough to eat or wear, that she is being wronged, and that she misses her parents.
Zou Jinzhi hadn't expected it to be finalized so quickly. She felt bad.
Although her daughter is now at an age where people hate her and dogs hate her, she still thinks her daughter is cute rather than naughty. How could she feel good if she really had to send her away?
"Father! Mother! I'm back!"
Zou Jinzhi's forehead twitched and she closed her eyes. She guessed that You Jingjia wanted to say "I'm back from getting into trouble."
Sure enough, a mud monkey rushed in from outside the house.
You Shaojie and Zou Jinzhi: ...
After packing up his daughter, Zou Jinzhi took Zhuyue and sat beside the couch, saying softly, "Nannan, look."
You Jingjia reached out to touch the scabbard curiously.
Zou Jinzhi carefully drew out his sword and took his daughter's hand in his. "It's called Zhuyue. Your father forged it for you personally. There's no other sword that suits you better than this."
Three days later, You Jingjia, carrying the Moon-Chasing Sword, was led by her parents to the Solitary Zhao Peak of Xuanxiao Sect.
————
The apprenticeship ceremony went unusually smoothly, but Zou Jinzhi always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
After spending a few days with their daughter, the couple said goodbye and left. They had wanted to travel for a long time, but their daughter's young age had prevented them from leaving.
Hua Fangyi grew up under Canghe's care, so Canghe did not seem at a loss when facing this ten-year-old girl.
However, he really didn't know how to find the right balance when it came to teaching people how to practice martial arts, so he simply gave it to Ling Qingqiu.
After all, Ling Qingqiu is almost a hundred years old, and I have learned a lot from him, so it is time for him to exercise.
Ling Qingqiu:......
He also knew that refusing would be futile, so he had no choice but to accept his fate and take the task.
In the first month after You Jingjia arrived, he learned a set of swordsmanship.
Before Cang He had time to think of how to praise her, he heard people say that this girl took her sword and chopped the trees in the back mountain into pieces.
Looking at the well-behaved little girl in front of him, Canghe finally understood what You Shaojie told him before he left.
"Hey, Ah He. If my daughter gets into trouble, just punish her. She understands reason. If you punish her and talk to her nicely, she won't do it again next time."
Cang He sighed. What else could he do? This was a little girl, not a boy. He couldn't hit her. He could just punish her by making her plant some trees.
Canghe is not good at reasoning, so he lets Wan Wuji talk to You Jingjia properly.
You Jingjia nodded vigorously: "I understand, Uncle Master. I will definitely not make the same mistake again next time."
So, when she planted trees, she damaged the roots of other trees, and a lot of trees died.
Cang He: ...
So this is what you mean by “I won’t do it again next time”?
The next month, You Jingjia lost the sword manual that Ling Qingqiu had compiled for her with great difficulty.
Although Ling Qingqiu didn't blame her, the little girl felt sorry for her senior brother and was eager to make pastries to apologize to him.
Then he blew up the kitchen.
Ling Qingqiu was really afraid of her, and he kept reminding her not to leave his sight. Only then did You Jingjia sit down obediently and listen to her senior brother's lecture.
When Canghe heard that she blew up the kitchen, he actually felt that it was not surprising.
Habits are really scary things.
————
You Jingjia had only been Canghe's disciple for a few years, but Canghe actually felt that he had aged a lot.
You Jingjia is really someone who is used to getting into trouble.
Today they blew up the inner sect's alchemy room, tomorrow they burned down the outer sect's thatched cottage, and the day after that they scared away the black bird in the Beast Valley.
Cang He never thought that such a well-behaved girl could actually give him more headaches than teaching Ling Qingqiu how to practice martial arts.
————
Twenty-year-old You Jingjia loves to be a hero and can't stand all kinds of evil deeds, so she likes to read some stories about heroes and righteousness, but as she read, she became obsessed with stories about love.
Just a few days after her birthday, Canghe felt that it was annoying for her to stay in the mountains, so he allowed her to go down the mountain and play for two days.
As a result, not long after the man left, the trouble he had caused came back to haunt him.
In the world of cultivation, there are sects formed by cultivators, and naturally there are also families.
In a family, there are outstanding people who are admired by everyone, and naturally there are also arrogant and spoiled young men.
Not long after coming down the mountain, You Jingjia happily joined the market. The market was much more lively than on the mountain, and You Jingjia's love of bustle was finally released.
However, not long after, she saw a man dressed as a monk pulling a girl.
The girl was delicate and weak, with tears in her eyes, and she tried hard to pry the man's hands apart.
You Jingjia heard the woman beside her sigh, "Alas, poor girl, being favored by this man, I'm afraid she won't have a peaceful life anymore."
The man was from a nearby monk family and was a lustful person.
When You Jingjia heard this, she, who always hated evil, immediately stepped forward with her sword in hand.
The man was a drunkard, so naturally he was no match for the diligently trained disciples of the sect. After being beaten up by You Jingjia, he went home and cried.
So, that family went to Xuanxiaomen and asked Canghe to compensate them.
You Jingjia was urgently recalled. She realized she had gotten into trouble, and stood in front of Canghe with her head lowered, not saying a word.
Cang He was truly troubled by this disciple. Ever since she entered his sect, this little girl had caused a lot of trouble.
But the person just stood there, blinking his eyes, and calling "Master" obediently, and he couldn't say anything harsh.
You Jingjia knew that she had gone too far this time, but that person was really too much.
Seeing that Cang He was getting angry, she quickly said, "Master, please stop talking! I really have been reflecting on myself three times a day!"
Cang He took a sip of tea, finally feeling somewhat relieved. He nodded: "So, what did you save?"
You Jingjia took a look at his expression, straightened her back, and said in a resounding voice: "I am not wrong!"
“Pah.”
Canghe crushed the teacup.
In the final analysis, the other party was more at fault, but it was You Jingjia who started it first.
You Jingjia was symbolically punished to copy books. Canghe stepped in personally, but the other party was not in the right, so he had to leave in shame.
————
As she grows older, You Jingjia becomes more and more beautiful.
She looks more like Zou Jinzhi, with a naturally cold face, but she has a quick-tempered personality.
After making some progress in cultivation, You Jingjia said goodbye to his master and went down the mountain to travel.
The world of cultivation has always admired the strong. You Jingjia is young, beautiful, straightforward, and has outstanding cultivation, which has attracted the favor of many male cultivators.
When she was young, You Jingjia also wondered whether she would find someone to accompany her for life like her parents.
When this time really came, she felt that she should be free.
Life is so difficult for women in this world. Only if she is strong enough will so many people admire her.
Strength is the foundation of her existence. She, You Jingjia, has never needed to rely on men to make a living; she herself is the pillar of the family.
Although she had such thoughts, she never told Lin Zhuo. Lin Zhuo was very simple in love, and she didn't want Lin Zhuo to be influenced by her.
Even if she showed disdain for Xie Zhitiao, she knew that if Zhaozhao had to be with someone, there would be no better candidate than Xie Zhitiao.
He loved her more than himself.
On their wedding day, she stood by and watched them bow to each other, and only then did she finally feel at peace.
From now on, they will all be happy.
