I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

"What's wrong?" Looking at Yun Qingyi, who was crying pitifully, Ci Gui was at a loss and took out a handkerchief to carefully wipe her tears.

Yun Qingyi didn't speak, tears welling up in her eyes uncontrollably.

With a sense of helplessness, he pulled Yun Qingyi into his arms and patted the girl's back rhythmically, as if comforting a child.

After being comforted, Yun Qingyi gradually calmed down. Only then did she realize that she was actually in Ci Gui Huai, with a faint fragrance of bamboo lingering around her nose.

After a while, she felt a little embarrassed, looking at the white robe in front of her, which was soaked with tears and snot that she had wiped on it.

For a moment, Yun Qingyi didn't know whether to stay in Ci Gui's arms or accept the reality that she would be discovered sooner or later.

Before Yun Qingyi could even process what was happening, Ci Gui felt the quietness in his arms and pulled her out. Just as he was about to ask her something, he noticed a wet, glistening patch on his chest, and his vision went black. At that moment, his brain completely shut down.

Yun Qingyi quickly cast a cleansing spell on Cigui and chuckled, "Master, I'm sorry I got your clothes dirty, but it's okay, look, they're clean now."

“It’s…nothing.” Ci Gui uttered two words stiffly.

After a while, his expression finally calmed down.

He looked up at the girl in front of him. Although she had stopped crying, her eyes were still red. He patiently asked, "What's wrong? Were you bullied here?"

Yun Qingyi shook her head: "I am your disciple, how could I be bullied here?"

After saying that, her eyes dimmed and she said, "I just miss home a little."

I miss my maternal grandparents who raised me.

I can't believe how fast time flies. It feels like New Year's Eve was just yesterday, like I just finished eating the wontons and dumplings my grandma made.

"Do you miss home..." Ci Gui murmured.

Then, taking Yun Qingyi's hand, he said, "So, shall I take you home to see the world now?"

"No, it's enough that Master is here with me." Although she was very grateful that Ci Gui said he would take her back, Yun Qingyi did not want to return to the Yun family in this world.

"Alright, I'll stay here with you. If you have any worries, or if you're missing anything or want anything, you can tell your teacher." Ci Gui didn't insist and pulled Yun Qingyi to sit down at the stone table in front of the courtyard.

"You can consider this place your second home. You are my disciple, and you should know that you will always have your master behind you, and the Xuanmiao Sect will always be your support."

"Master..."

"Well, I'm here."

"Thank you, Master."

Ci Gui's expression was slightly helpless: "I told you I'm your master, there's no need to thank me for this."

"Okay, sure." Yun Qingyi grinned, revealing a smile.

It's good that she's lucky to have come into this world. She has not only Yun's parents and Yun Qingrou, but also a master who treats her very well.

"If you're not sad anymore, let's have a chat." A faint smile appeared on Ci Gui's lips.

“Great! I also have a question for Master.” Yun Qingyi rested her chin on her hands, her eyes shining.

Ci Gui took out a tea set from his storage ring and started brewing tea. Hearing this, he chuckled softly, "What's the problem? Tell me."

Yun Qingyi didn't stand on ceremony and asked directly, "Is Master's current cultivation level truly at the Mahayana stage?"

"Well, no."

After brewing the tea, Ci Gui picked up the teapot, poured two cups, and pushed one of them in front of Yun Qingyi.

"Try it."

"Ah? Isn't that right? But everyone outside says that Master has already reached the Mahayana stage of cultivation." Yun Qingyi picked up her teacup and took a sip. Her eyes lit up. This tea is really good.

"I entered the Tribulation Transcending stage six thousand years ago, and I am now in the middle stage of Tribulation Transcending. I just haven't announced it to the outside world, so everyone thinks I am still in the Mahayana stage."

Six thousand years ago, six thousand years ago...

No, it's the Tribulation Transcending stage! Or rather, the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending stage

Is he... really that amazing? He's a true master! Instantly, Yun Qingyi's eyes were filled with admiration as she looked at Ci Gui.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ci Gui's usually cold voice softened slightly.

"I just think my master is amazing."

"How old is Master now?" Yun Qingyi stared intently at Ci Gui with her bright eyes.

"Age?"

Ci Gui picked up the teacup on the table. Her slender fingers appeared even whiter in the moonlight, and her cool and beautiful face was now staring blankly at the tea in her hand.

Her fine eyelashes trembled slightly over her beautiful eyes, like two butterflies about to take flight in the night, and her soft, long hair danced gently in the evening breeze.

After a while, he slowly spoke, "I am now over thirteen thousand years old."
