Time passed slowly. Another year had passed.
This year, Wu Ye’s life was still as peaceful as ever.
He planted, refined pills, practiced divinations, and signed in daily.
Of course, the elders in the sect and his fellow disciples were already used to his style.
However, the elders of the Punishment Hall, the Deacon Hall, and the Training Hall would often use Wu Ye as a negative example.
This was a warning to the new disciples of the sect.
After all, in the eyes of others, Wu Ye’s actions were nothing more than eating and waiting for death. He did not look like he was here to cultivate. Instead, he was more like being on vacation.
However, Wu Ye’s peaceful days were finally gone one day.
On this day, Du Yu, Wu Ye’s master, and a seven-year-old girl returned to the herb garden.
“Little Ye, since you’re already at the Foundation Establishment Realm and my only true disciple, I’ll give you a task.”
Du Yu looked at Wu Ye’s tall figure. A gratified smile appeared on his face.
“Her name is Meng Chuchu. From today onward, she’ll be your junior sister.
“Chuchu’s parents were killed by the Ghost Spirit Sect. As her senior brother, you have to take good care of her.
“Little Ye, you’re more outstanding than me. Regardless of spirit plant cultivation or self-taught array formations, I can see your talent. I’m very relieved to let you look after Chuchu.”
Before Wu Ye could reply, Du Yu gently patted his shoulder and left on his sword with a look of approval.
For a moment, Wu Ye was stunned.
What was going on?
He suddenly had a junior sister.
This was a little too sudden, was it not?
Wu Ye sized up Meng Chuchu. The little girl’s cheeks were a little thin, her skin was dry, and her eyes were a little red and swollen. It seemed that she often cried.
However, Meng Chuchu’s tender face revealed a note of stubbornness and determination that did not match her age.
“Forget it, you can stay in the herb garden from now on and help me.”
Wu Ye said helplessly.
What else could he do?
Could he chase her out?
For a little girl with a tragic background, Wu Ye really could not bring himself to be heartless.
Although the current herb garden did not need anyone to do chores, he still had to go out to sign in.
He would just treat her as a gatekeeper.
“Yes, senior brother.”
Meng Chuchu nodded sensibly. Afraid that Wu Ye would dislike her and chase her out, she behaved very obediently.
At the same time, her small fists were tightly clenched, and her small face showed a determined expression.
She was already lucky enough to be saved by Grandpa Du back then.
Grandpa Du had even specially tested her aptitude and brought her to the elders on the various mountain peaks.
However, regardless of sword practice, pill refinement, or sword forging, the various elders were unwilling to accept her as a disciple.
The reason was very simple. Her aptitude was poor, and it was difficult for her to cultivate. Furthermore, she was a female disciple.
Now that she was able to perform miscellaneous tasks in the herb garden, it might be a good choice.
While everything seemed great, Meng Chuchu could not resign herself to the situation.
She was holding a grudge. She wanted to take revenge against the Ghost Spirit Sect!
Before she arrived at the herb garden, she had heard from the other elders that there was a lazy disciple who lived in the herb garden. The disciple had nothing to do and refused to improve.
However, she had no way to change the outcome just because she had a special constitution and was unable to cultivate.
“I’ll work hard in the herb garden first and familiarize myself with the environment.
“The Sword Control Sect has many cultivation techniques. I’ll definitely be able to learn a cultivation technique and embark on the cultivation path over the course of time!”
Although she was only seven years old, she had mature thoughts after the tragic experience of having her entire sect wiped out.
At this moment, she had already thought of her future path.
…
The sun rose and set. In the blink of an eye, another three years passed.
During these three years, Wu Ye had another task in addition to his daily tasks.
The task was to teach Meng Chuchu how to read, write, and calculate.
This year, Meng Chuchu was ten years old.
Although she had yet to grow up, one could already tell that Meng Chuchu was definitely a naturally beautiful girl.
In the past three years, Meng Chuchu’s attitude toward Wu Ye had changed imperceptibly.
In the beginning, she felt that her senior brother was just like what rumors had described. He did not do any proper work every day. He just idled around whenever he had nothing to do.
Therefore, she only respected her senior brother on the surface. Deep down, she treated him with disdain.
After that, she discovered many of her senior brother’s little secrets.
Once, her senior brother actually painted a talisman out of thin air, reviving a spirit plant that was about to die.
On another occasion, she saw her senior brother refining pills. The smell was even more fragrant than the second-grade pills that the elders of the Alchemy Hall practiced. Nevertheless, he was good at array formation, was he not?
On another occasion, she accidentally injured her back. Her senior brother conjured a bucket of spirit medicine for her to bathe in. Her injuries healed the next day.
Recently, her senior brother would occasionally share some cultivation world legends that even the elders of the Training Hall were unaware of.
During these three years, Meng Chuchu had discovered these secrets countless times.
In Meng Chuchu’s eyes, her senior brother was not as ordinary as the rumors said!
On the contrary, he was proficient in medicinal pills, planting, array formation, arithmetic, music, talismans, and many other aspects.
He had so many innate abilities!
Was this senior brother really an ordinary cultivator?
Although she did not see him cultivate, he was simply a perfect cultivation genius.
Unknowingly, she actually began to worship him.
He was like her teacher, who imparted all kinds of knowledge to her every day. This allowed her to live each day to the fullest.
He was also like her biological brother, enlightening her and humming some strange songs to her.
Sometimes, Meng Chuchu thought about staying by her senior brother’s side for the rest of her life without wanting to take revenge.
She wanted to stay with her senior brother in the herb garden and live a peaceful life. How comfortable and warm it was.
One day, Wu Ye called Meng Chuchu and asked seriously, “Chuchu, do you want to take revenge?”
“I’ll go down the mountain to find the Ghost Spirit Sect and exterminate it for you. What do you think?”
Wu Ye smiled and looked at the mature Meng Chuchu in front of him.
He remembered that when she first came to the herb garden, she was only seven years old. Her eyes were full of hatred.
In the blink of an eye, she was already ten years old. She could finally put down the hatred in her heart and embrace the joy of growing up.
However, during these three years, he could still occasionally see Meng Chuchu waking up from a nightmare.
It was obvious that in the depths of her heart, she would never forget the tragic experience.
After she heard Wu Ye’s words, her eyes turned red. She hugged Wu Ye and cried. “Senior Brother, don’t go.
“The Ghost Spirit Sect is not an ordinary demon sect. There are many powerful cultivators in the sect. It has branches all over the Northern Spirit Region. Those elders are all in the Golden Core Realm.
“You’re only in the Foundation Establishment Realm, yet you want to take revenge for me.. How can I bear to see you die?”
