After coming out of the cave, the girl walked very slowly, but did not stop, and the plants everywhere she passed would be strangely yellow, on the contrary, the "hair" on her head became more and more lush and verdant, as if she had experienced a spring rain.

There is no one on this downhill trail that people often pass by on weekdays, and it is obviously when the big competition in the door is approaching, so it stands to reason that there should be more people than usual.

But the girl did not show the slightest curiosity, and walked down slowly, step by step, each step as if she were performing a solemn ceremony.

Just as she was about to reach the bottom of the mountain, two female cultivators in their twenties came from afar and were talking happily.

The girl glanced up.

They are all her fellow sisters, ranked according to the entry time, one is fifth, and the other is sixth, because the flower spirit of the two is a lotus plant, so the two are almost inseparable, like twins. Because they just broke through the Chengdan period together some time ago, these two people were also selected by the big competition in the door.

Seeing that the two of them were getting closer and closer, the girl finally stopped and hid behind a big tree next to her, and the two of them were chatting happily and didn't notice that there were other people on the road.

"I think this time the big sister in the door will definitely come out on top!"

"Of course! Originally, I was still worried about Senior Sister, who would have thought that the master would be willing to take out the spirit core that had been treasured for decades for her, and when Senior Sister stabilized the cultivation of Cheng Dan in the later stage, coupled with the 'Spirit Flower Symbiosis Technique' that even the sect master praised, she would definitely succeed! ”

"In the past, the two of us were able to beat the senior sister in terms of flower spirits, but we were surpassed, and I was a little unwilling."

"Who made us not as favored as Senior Sister, we can ask for such a precious thing as soon as we open our mouths, if we can have a spirit core, maybe it will be more effective than Senior Sister."

"Tsk, let's practice hard, the first can't think about it, but we can still compete for the second and third, if the top three are all from the master's door, then the master's face will also shine!"

"I think so, who in this sect can be as mind-to-heart as the two of us? The two of us together even the master has to deal with it with all his might, let alone others? So...... Hey? What's going on with these plants, how are they all dead? ”

"Huh? Really...... Fifth sister, you see, not only here, but all the way up, it seems that all the plants on the side of the road have died! ”

"Is there a thief? Recently, there has been no peace in the sect, and many people covet this big competition in the door, so let's report to the master as soon as possible! ”

"Let's go, let's go back to the master!"

……

When the two of them left quickly, the girl slowly came out from behind the tree, raised her strange face and stared at the direction they left for a long time, but her slightly trembling body showed that her mood was not as calm as her face appeared.

Suddenly, the girl snorted and bent down, staggered a few steps to the side as if she was unsteady on her feet, and leaned against the tree, looking like an internal injury erupted.

By her, the tree, which had already withered a little, withered and withered at a very fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, all the leaves withered and withered, and the thick branches that the two hugged quickly dried up and cracked. By the time she finally stabilized and stood up straight, all that remained of the tree, which had been thriving a few minutes ago, was its trunk, which looked as if it had been struck by lightning, and it seemed to fall down with a slight push.

Without looking at the scene she had caused, the girl took a few deep breaths of air and slowly exhaled it, turning around and walking out of the valley.

Originally, she wanted to ask her master for a reason, and she was ready to pay all the costs, but the conversation between the two senior sisters just now had already given her an answer, so she changed her mind, she wanted to leave here, find a suitable place to re-cultivate, and then, she had to personally ask for what she had lost!

After living in the Hundred Flowers Sect for ten years, the girl was almost familiar with every plant and tree here, and it didn't take much effort to leave the Hundred Flowers Sect from a little-known path.

But after leaving the Hundred Flowers Sect, she was at a loss. Since the day she followed her master into the sect, she has hardly left the sect, and the only place she is familiar with in the entire Zhaoyang Mansion except for the Baihua Zong is the home that has abandoned her, where should she go?

Family......?

The girl suddenly has a goal.

At first, she had a deep hatred for her home, but in the end, under the persuasion of her master, she gave up the idea of revenge. But now that the image of the master in her heart has collapsed, and the former preaching has lost its convincing power at all, she suddenly wants to go back and see what the home that once abandoned her is like now.

The penniless girl took advantage of the night to take a few pieces of clothing from a house and wrapped herself tightly, and I don't know if it was because she was seriously injured, walking on the road, she was not too tall and became more and more rickety, like a down-and-out homeless man step by step towards the south.

She walked like this for four months, and everywhere she went, the grass was withered, and the trees were yellowing and falling as if they were in late autumn. At the beginning of the fifth month, she finally walked to her birthplace and found the home where she lived as a child.

I have to say that she was very lucky, she didn't encounter any accidents along the way, and she also received donations from many well-wishers along the way, which calmed her down a lot when she was full of resentment.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar vermilion gate not far away, the girl sat down against the wall, held the crutch that was taller than a human in her arms diagonally, and began to be in a daze.

Because she was the daughter of a concubine, and her mother was not favored by her father, she did not walk through the vermilion gate since she was a child, and could only enter and exit through the small side door for servants, and she had to be careful, otherwise she would not be abducted and sold so easily. The only time she entered the house through the gate was when she was rescued and sent back by the master, and she still vividly remembered how frightened she was at that time, because to her, the gate was like an insurmountable abyss, and the one-foot-high threshold was like a moat between her and the true owner of the house. When she lifted her legs and stepped into the door, her legs trembled, and she almost fell to her knees on her feet—but she did not kneel at the end, because the master had taken her by the hand and given her strength.

Just as she was thinking, the door opened, and out of it came a young man who looked familiar but couldn't recognize who.

The man was dressed in expensive clothes, and on his right hand was followed by a half-grown child who was also dressed in good clothes, probably not yet four years old, and it was a little difficult to cross the threshold, so he had to reach out and help the man.

After staring at the man for a long time, the girl finally remembered who he was, he was the eldest son of that family, her nominal eldest brother, and the one she called him "Big Young Master" when she was a child.

His sons are so old......

The girl sighed silently in her heart.

Immediately, her gaze fixed on a few people who came out of the side door.

To be precise, she was looking at one of the middle-aged women who were a little short.

The men came out of the side door and followed the man, who seemed to be the entourage who had gone out, and the group came straight to the side where the girl was.

Watching them get closer and closer, the girl sat motionless, her head slightly bowed as if she was dozing off. For such a homeless person, passers-by will rarely bet on it.

But children are different, children's curiosity is always very strong, and they always want to get answers from adults when they see what they don't understand. Like what......

"Father, why is that man's clothes so torn?"

"They are inferior people, inferior to the subordinates of our family, and they don't have the money to buy good clothes." The man replied.

"But won't he be cold in the winter?"

"Probably."

"So what to do?"

"I don't know, I heard that there are many poor people who freeze to death in winter, maybe you won't be able to see him this time next year."

"Ah...... That's so pathetic, can I send him some clothes? ”

"You don't have clothes the size of his."

"They have." The boy stretched out his hand behind him and looked at his father with an expectant expression.

The man glanced at his son, then at the girl, then at the people behind him, and finally fixed on the woman who had attracted the girl's attention before: "You go over, take off your clothes to him." ”

The boy was stunned, pulled the corner of the man's clothes, and asked, "That's an elder brother, why do you want Aunt Xing to take off her clothes?" ”

The corners of the man's mouth twitched, and his tone rose slightly: "Because she is a slut who is not even as inferior as an inferior person." ”

The boy didn't understand what his father was talking about, but he nodded his head in agreement, and then turned his head to stare at the woman, waiting for her to put his father's orders into action.

The woman's face was pale, her lips trembled, but she said nothing, her hunched back pressed down to show her obedience, and bypassed the father and son, and walked step by step in the direction of the girl, untying the ties of her blouse as she went.

The woman's clothes were actually very thin, and after taking off her blouse, she was left with only a shirt that had been sewn many times and wore on her body, which looked inferior to that of a girl.

Just as she reached out and was about to put her blouse on the girl, the girl suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist!

Both disappeared from their places at the same time.

"Huh? Father, where did they go? The boy turned his head and looked around.

The man did not answer.

The boy looked up and saw his father's pale face, and beads of sweat that kept sliding down his forehead.
