She's waiting for me there.

My name is Gu Hongfei and I am 13 years old.

I walked forward hurriedly, followed by two junior sisters.

"Brother Gu, please wait for us."

"Fourth Brother, it's no use for you to go find the eldest brother now."

I stopped and said angrily, "It's not okay to let them bully me like this all the time. I have to go talk to my senior brother."

Then, keep moving forward.

When we got to a courtyard, I shouted, "Big Brother, the sect next door stole the fruit I just picked. Please help me teach them a lesson."

After entering the house, dozens of bookshelves come into view, leaving only a narrow aisle in the huge house.

There are all kinds of books on the shelves, and the bookish air they emit hits you in the face.

"Big Brother, where are you?"

"I'm coming."

A young man in a green robe walked out from behind the bookshelf with a smile on his face.

I repeated what I had just said with a look of grievance on my face.

He just smiled and patted my head: "It's just some fruits, just give them. Although our Wuwangzhai is not a famous sect, we can still afford these. I will make you something delicious later."

Ning Qinghua pouted and said in a childish voice, "Big Brother, this isn't about the fruit, it's about face."

"Face is worthless."

Jiang Miaoke tilted her head and asked, "But those people say that the people from Wuwangzhai are cowards."

"Just let them say what they want. Come to my place more often to study in the future. Don't be so aggressive. You might end up hurting yourself."

I said unconvincedly, "Only by practicing martial arts can we teach them a lesson. Studying is useless."

The eldest brother patted my shoulder and said, "What's the point in teaching them a lesson? It's better to resolve a feud than to create one."

Then he pointed to a waterfall cascading down from the top of a mountain in the distance.

"Can you cut off the waterfall with one sword and stop the water for 5 seconds?"

I lowered my head and muttered softly, "No, you can only cut off and not stop."

"You guys?"

Jiang Miaoke and Ning Qinghua shook their heads in frustration: "No."

"That's all. Your skills are too weak. I heard that those who practice martial arts can stop the river for several hours with a single sword strike."

"Huh?" Our three eyes widened. "So powerful?"

The eldest brother nodded seriously: "So, you must not fight with others, otherwise you will definitely get beaten."

I had no choice but to nod and turn to walk out.

He whispered, "I see. You are about the same age as us, why do you always talk so much nonsense?"

Jiang Miaoke sighed, "I'd better not go out anymore. They cursed us so harshly, saying we were bastards without parents."

"Well, it's still in the sect..."

Suddenly, I felt the breath around me stagnate, as if the air was sucked out, and I couldn't even speak.

After a few seconds, this situation disappeared.

I looked back in confusion, and saw that the eldest brother was still smiling and sorting out the broken books.

I shook my head. It shouldn't be the eldest brother. He is just a scholar. Maybe he doesn't even know martial arts. He just came a few years earlier than us.

Wuwangzhai is our sect, and we are all orphans picked up by our master when he was traveling.

It is said that this place was ranked among the top three famous and upright sects a hundred years ago, but later fell into decline for unknown reasons.

Now that the master has passed away, everyone in the sect has left and dispersed.

Including the eldest brother and a few of us, there are only about a dozen people.

But it’s not bad either. Without the strict rules of other sects, we can live a free and easy life.

Ning Qinghua pouted and asked pitifully, "Brother Gu, are we really not allowed to go out anymore?"

I clenched my fists and said, "Don't go out too much. It's too dangerous outside. Once you've mastered your skills and defeated the nearby sects, I'll take you out to play."

"Well, good luck to you."

But the next day, I heard news from outside.

The huge sect next door has been destroyed. It is said that no one is left alive, and even the ancestral graves have been dug up.

Such behavior is definitely the work of those evil cults.

I was shocked. It was just as my senior brother said, the world of martial arts was dangerous.

I called the two junior sisters over and told them, "Don't go out to play anymore. It's dangerous out there, okay?"

They also heard the news and nodded continuously.

And so, five years passed.

We have all been practicing Kung Fu diligently, and even when we go out to play, we are always very cautious and never dare to fight with others, for fear of bringing disaster to the sect.

The eldest brother is the same as usual, reading those crappy books every day and not practicing martial arts. I really don’t know what he will do if he encounters danger in the future.

Fortunately, I am here. My sword energy is now enough to make the waterfall hover in the air for half an incense stick of time.

That day, I was picking wild fruits at the mountain gate, thinking of taking them back for my two junior sisters to eat.

Suddenly, two figures came running from a distance, both with wounds on their bodies, and their white dresses were stained with blood.

When they came closer, supporting each other, I was immediately stunned by their appearance. There were actually people in this world who looked like my two junior sisters.

One of them said weakly, "We are being chased. Can we go in and hide?"

I immediately remembered what my senior brother said: don’t cause trouble.

I was about to shake my head when an elegant voice came from behind me.

"Ladies, I wonder which sect or school you are from. Could you please tell me?"

"Qingxue."

"Lime."

The eldest brother frowned slightly: "Are you two saints?"

When I heard the word "saint", I immediately felt like I was facing a formidable enemy.

Don't be fooled by the nice sound of the word "saint". In fact, she is a member of the evil cult, and it can be said that she is irreconcilable with the famous and upright sects.

Qingxue nodded with a pale face: "We were forced into marriage by the cult, so we escaped. I hope you can save me, sir. We have nothing to do with the cult anymore."

The eldest brother looked at the two women in front of him with a calm expression, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Qing Ning said coldly, "Sister, let's go. Otherwise, if those people come after us, I'm afraid this place will be implicated as well."

"Yeah, that's true. Now it's not just the Demon Cult, even the people from Tianxu Pavilion have received the news."

After saying that, the two sisters turned around and were about to leave.

"Wait, both of you come in, I will protect your lives."

I turned and looked at him in shock.

Is this still the senior brother who always taught us not to cause trouble?

Tianxu Pavilion claims to be the most prestigious and upright sect. A few random servants from the other side can easily destroy our sect.

There is something wrong with the eldest brother today.

Qingxue gave a gentle smile.

"I don't know your name, sir."

"Chen Yun."

From then on, we have been with those two saints... no, they are witches.

They lived together with the evil woman who had seduced the soul of the senior brother.

That year, I was 18 years old.
