"So, Hanshuang, your family is all far away, and it's very likely you'll never be able to go back in this lifetime?"
Xunmi pretended to be surprised, but in her heart she still felt some pity for her.
Some people think time travel is great, but you only know the truth once you actually experience it.
Often, life isn't as perfect and happy as we imagine; instead, there's a lot of heartache.
She's doing alright; she doesn't have many relatives in real life, only a group of business partners.
Ouyang Hanshuang is different; she has loving parents and close best friends.
The only thing to be thankful for is that she has a younger brother, so even if she were gone, her brother would still be there to accompany and care for their parents.
Ouyang Hanshuang held a teacup, her beautiful face filled with loneliness.
Not knowing if she would ever have a chance to go back, she slumped weakly onto the table.
Xunmi patted Ouyang Hanshuang on the shoulder, offering silent comfort.
"I will teach you how to cultivate. Only by having the ability to protect yourself can you live a carefree life."
Seeking out sudden inspirations, they enthusiastically slammed their fists on the table and made suggestions.
Originally, the female lead's master was Elder Tianxuan of the Liuguang Sect, but now Tianxuan has taken Liu Zhenxin as his disciple.
Sending the female lead there again would be like sending a lamb to the slaughter.
It would be better for her to teach herself. Besides, she's already a Spirit Saint, which is quite powerful.
If all else fails, she'll take some time to infiltrate a reclusive family and see if she can find a good teacher for the female lead.
Ouyang Hanshuang perked up upon hearing this; she was considered a strong woman in modern times.
Naturally, he wanted to rely on himself, and his heart burned with excitement as he exclaimed, "Master!"
Faced with those bright, sparkling eyes and that resounding "Master," Xunmi felt ashamed.
She actually managed to win over the female lead so easily, and she even made her her apprentice. She's a little flustered _(:зゝ∠)_
"I wouldn't call him Master. We look about the same age. Just call me by my name."
"I am currently at the Spirit Saint stage, and the type of cultivation I practice may not be suitable for you, so I can only teach you some basics first."
"Wait until you find a suitable master before you become his disciple."
Ouyang Hanshuang was not disappointed by the search: "According to your custom, it seems that it is someone who will teach and guide you."
"Whoever is your master, I don't care about age. I understand that the strong are respected."
Only by becoming strong can one avoid being controlled by others.
What happened today is a good example. She was targeted as soon as she arrived, and she didn't think it was a coincidence.
As for the woman in red who saved her, she did have some doubts.
But her aura was so pure, and her clear, bright eyes were sparkling.
The subtle, detached feeling that seems almost imperceptible speaks volumes about the person's character.
Of course, there's also the possibility that the disguise is so convincing that she'll just have to accept her bad luck.
"Alright, since Han Shuang calls me Master, I will teach her everything I know."
Xunmi stared intently at Ouyang Hanshuang, his sharp gaze piercing deep into her eyes, "But I have only one thing to say: I will not accept betrayal."
"Yes, Master." Ouyang Hanshuang knelt on the ground and respectfully poured a cup of tea for Xunmi.
For Xunmi, this was the first time a young woman had ever been formally accepted as a disciple, and she couldn't have been more thrilled.
He helped Ouyang Hanshuang up, saying, "I will protect you until you are able to or no longer need to."
This was her promise, not only for the mission, but also as her responsibility as a master.
In two months, the exchange conference between the Guiyuan Sect and the Liuguang Sect will begin.
She planned to take her newly trained apprentice to the Liuguang Sect as a guest elder, just to annoy Liu Zhenxin.
If the Liuguang Sect doesn't want her, then she'll go to the Guiyuan Sect and get them a thousand or so powerful pills.
During the exchange meeting, let them slap Liuguangzong's face hard, hmph.
The search for something more perverse is quickly turning into a red bean bun.
It's white on the outside, but when you break it open, the inside is all black!
For the next month, Xunmi fed Ouyang Hanshuang the Marrow Cleansing Pill, and then, like a baby, watched with schadenfreude as the female lead rolled on the ground in pain.
After she got through that difficult time, I taught her a quick way to get started.
It has to be said that the female lead is indeed the female lead; her cultivation speed is twice as fast as others.
In just one month, she has advanced from a Spirit Practitioner to a high-level Spirit Warrior and is about to break through to the Spirit Master level.
That speed is absolutely incredible, making Xunmi extremely envious.
Martial arts are also involved, but we're still stuck at the martial arts stage.
The two leisurely traveled to Liuguang Sect, enjoying the scenery along the way.
"Hey, have you heard? The Liu family was attacked."
'It seems even the reclusive spiritual saints had to be mobilized to barely repel the enemy.'
'Didn't they produce two geniuses in their family? How could this happen?'
"It's said that the illegitimate daughter of a collateral branch of the Liu family offended someone she shouldn't have."
...
Xunmi wasn't paying attention to what was said after that; she felt a slight tremor in her chest.
It must be the original owner's emotions. After all, even if the Liu family was ruthless, they had raised her for more than ten years.
Even when she was young, they provided her with all the resources they could.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have broken through to the Spirit Lord level at the age of sixteen, if she hadn't been secretly harmed by Liu Zhenxin.
Perhaps the original owner will become a spirit immortal or even a demigod, ascending to the highest position.
"Master, are you alright?" Ouyang Hanshuang asked with some concern.
The day after she became an apprentice, her master told her his true identity, and she was furious upon hearing it.
How can a cousin be like this? She's clearly inferior to others in every way, yet she's just jealous.
And yet, with such a cruel and vicious heart, he crippled someone's cultivation, severed their meridians, and pushed them off a cliff.
If it weren't for Master's good fortune, he probably would have died there long ago.
And that cousin happened to be the one who wanted to kill him.
All she could say was: Damn it!
"It's alright. We'll just be passing by the Liu family on our way to the Liuguang Sect, so let's go take a look."
He searched and rubbed the jade flute, his eyes somewhat dazed.
After spending a month together, Ouyang Hanshuang had come to know her little master very well.
They are very protective and soft-hearted towards those they consider important, but they can also be extremely violent.
No, I should say they really like to resolve things with force.
╮(╯▽╰)╭ Who made Master so attractive? He's been surrounded by admirers all along the way.
It's mentally exhausting.
Ouyang Hanshuang, you've gone too far. Half of those people were clearly targeting you.
You always resolve things with a single punch, but when you can't, you run to your master to complain.
Then Xunmi will unleash its ultimate move, wiping out the entire enemy team; they're completely overwhelmed.
Unfortunately, these two culprits didn't want to wear masks or veils, and swaggered off on their way.
It's no wonder they're being targeted! ┑(￣Д￣)┍
Sadly enough, Ouyang Hanshuang never thought she was particularly beautiful, so she never even considered it.
Having traversed so many worlds, Xunmi had become completely accustomed to it and no longer paid attention.
The result was that they were followed by little tails all the way.
