She only needs one small chance.

She had tried too many places, only to be met with ridicule, disdain, and even beatings and humiliation.

She never gave up.

"Little beggar, I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?"

"Do you want to die?"

"What are you all doing?" Jiangnan walked by.

"Senior Brother." Several outer disciples bowed and greeted Jiang Nan upon seeing him.

The disciples guarding the mountain gate are also outer disciples; if they don't improve, they will be expelled from the mountain in a few years.

This is far removed from the status of an inner disciple.

Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to force their way into the mountain gate of a regional overlord's grotto-heaven; a few outer disciples guarding the gate are sufficient.

Even inner disciples wouldn't be able to withstand someone who is truly confident enough to force their way through the formation.

“Girl, come with me,” Jiang Nan said.

The others dared not stop them any longer.

They recognized Jiang Nan; he had previously been an outer disciple, just like them, except that Jiang Nan was in the Spirit Herb Garden.

Now that you've become an inner disciple, you can have one servant with you.

"Tch, what's so great about them? They just got lucky and made it into the inner sect." A disciple scoffed after the two had walked away.

"Keep your voice down. Inner disciples are far different from us. Even if they kill us, we'll die in vain," someone said, with envy in their voice.

They also longed to enter the inner sect like Jiangnan.

But in reality, those who haven't entered the inner circle within one or two years usually don't have another chance.

They all started learning in their youth, and now that they're adults, their chances are slim.

Jiangnan, too, somehow got lucky and entered the region; everyone was very envious.

“Girl, you are…” Jiang Nan looked at the girl.

Is this the Empress when she was a child?

Many parts are similar, but there are also some differences.

Or perhaps there's very little information about the Empress's formative years, and some things are simply unknown.

Does it have a name?

The girl's large, black eyes, like gemstones, were fixed on Jiangnan.

It was as if they wanted to see if this person was good or bad, or whatever.

But this is also an opportunity, a unique opportunity. Although I have been deceived countless times in similar ways before, this is still an opportunity.

She was unwilling to let it go.

"No?" Jiang Nan smiled.

"Don't be afraid, I mean no harm."

“Little girl?” Jiang Nan suddenly said as he walked, looking into the girl’s eyes.

To his surprise, the girl showed no reaction whatsoever.

Isn't that so? Or has one's mindset been cultivated to be so firm that it is unaffected by external things?

Jiangnan feels like the latter.

What has happened?

"It seems we can't call her 'little girl' anymore." The girl has grown up a lot.

She was just very thin and looked rather small.

His back view also looked exceptionally thin.

Actually, she's already quite tall.

If it were the Empress, wouldn't she have already begun her cultivation at this point?

No wonder she is known as the most talented woman in history.

Throughout history, the only emperor to achieve supreme power was one who attained it in mortal form.

Unparalleled elegance, timeless beauty.

Jiangnan looked at the girl, and the girl was also looking at him, wary of him, never hiding it.

Lacking real ability, she couldn't hide her thoughts, so she simply stopped trying.

Seeing Jiang Nan looking at her body, the girl's expression changed slightly for the first time, and she frowned slightly.

It's as if they're saying, "Is he some kind of weird uncle?"

"What uncle? I'm just an older brother at most." Jiang Nan blinked.

The girl's eyes flashed with a cold light, revealing a murderous intent.

She only has one brother; no one else deserves him.

She was once a kind little girl who was willing to address everyone politely.

These years of wandering the world have left me heartbroken countless times.

"I understand." Jiang Nan nodded. It was most likely that it was the Empress when she was young.

My brother is the one I care about most.

Not for immortality, but only to wait for your return in the mortal world.

He defied fate and lived life after life.

It's all for the happiest time I spent as a child in a small mountain village, relying on my brother for everything.

I hope it can be reproduced.

It's just the simplest expectation.

In his spare time these days, Jiangnan also looked at some basic information about the sect.

Nanling, a remote corner, does indeed seem to be some location that resembles the birthplace of the Empress.

Of course, it's only a suspicion; it's been too long, and I don't remember much, so I can't make any judgments.

"She's definitely not a little girl anymore, she's grown up a lot. How about a big girl?"

"Hey, isn't it funny?"

Chapter Thirteen: Big Girl

“Girl, I’m a good person… Oh, that sounds a bit sleazy,” Jiang Nan said.

"There are other good things in this world, and not everyone is bad."

“It’s alright if you don’t speak. If you want to cultivate, I’ll guide you through the basics,” Jiang Nan said.

The girl's eyes flickered with emotion once again.

This talkative guy makes me a little wary, but also a little curious.

"You haven't eaten for days, have you? Let me take you to eat first, and then you can change into some clean clothes..." Jiang Nan said, looking ahead.

"Huh?" An old woman walked by and looked at the girl.

"It's this girl. She really persisted for seven days and seven nights?"

"hehe, not bad."

"It was decided beforehand that if you persisted, I would guide you into the field. I didn't expect you to have already entered."

"It must be fate," the old woman said.

“Elder Ying,” Jiang Nan said.

"Hmm." The old woman nodded, looking at the girl. "Girl, no matter what your aptitude is, I admire your will."

"Young in age, but incredibly resilient."

"Are you interested in cultivating with me?" the old woman asked.

The girl looked at Jiangnan, as if trying to see what he meant.

Jiang Nan didn't know either, because he had been working as a menial disciple in the outer sect and his memories hadn't been awakened.

I've only been here a few days, and I don't know many people yet.

Elder Ying had seen him once before, when he went to the Spirit Herb Garden to get medicine and saw him from afar while he was at the outer gate.

I don't know the specifics.

All I know is that he's very low-key and mysterious, and he hasn't taken on any disciples on the entire mountain.
