Xiu Yuejian's genius senior sister, Mo Qinghan, treated everyone else with cold indifference, but was gentle and considerate toward her alone.
Mo Qinghan: Junior sister must be working and pushing herself so hard to prove herself. I should be kinder to her and let her know someone cares about her.
Xiu Yuejian: Senior sister treats me so well. She must like me. I have to work even harder to be worthy of her!
At the sect tournament, Xiu Yuejian made a name for herself in her debut, becoming one of the two peerless prodigies of Xianqing alongside the sect's genius with an ice spirit root, Mo Qinghan.
Xiu Yuejian was secretly delighted: At last, people are saying my name alongside Senior Sister's!
After entering the secret realm, Xiu Yuejian and Mo Qinghan ran into villains who wanted to kill them and steal their treasures.
The villains: Take out Mo Qinghan, the peerless prodigy of Xianqing, first. That person beside her looks like a nobody, so she must be weak.
Xiu Yuejian tearfully cast a spell and sent them packing.
A year later, Xiu Yuejian returned from the secret realm and became famous throughout the world, but only because her spiritual bone had been exposed.
Xiu Yuejian was captured in tears.
A depraved villain carved out her spiritual bone and destroyed her core.
Just as she was about to despair, Mo Qinghan arrived with her sword wrapped in green poison and bitter frost.
Xiu Yuejian fainted in tears.
When she woke, she found that she hadn't died. Instead, her cultivation had advanced. She asked what had happened and learned that her senior sister had refined her own essence blood to nourish Yuejian's spiritual bone, and had gone looking for all kinds of miraculous pills and medicines for her.
Xiu Yuejian was so moved she could barely stop crying.
After weathering all kinds of hardships together, they decided to return to the sect and settle down.
Mo Qinghan: "After going through this tribulation, my junior sister and I are..."
Xiu Yuejian: "You don't have to say it, Senior Sister. I understand."
Mo Qinghan was speechless. What exactly did you understand...?
Back at the sect, Mo Qinghan saw everyone hurriedly preparing a cultivation partner's wedding banquet and froze in place.
Xiu Yuejian said nervously, "I secretly asked Senior Sister Lu to arrange it. Do you like it, Senior Sister?"
Mo Qinghan was stunned. What on earth did you understand?!
