Gu Qingyue was brought back to the Shangqing Sect by her biological father. Everyone thought she was timid and weak, until they heard her inner thoughts.
The first time Wen Mingze, a stern and reserved man, met Wen Muyue, who seemed gentle and obedient, he warned her, "Muxue is your younger sister. Even though she uses your name, you mustn't bully her."
Gu Qingyue lowered her head like a frightened quail and bit her lip. In her heart, though, she was baffled. "I'm only just starting to cultivate. How am I supposed to bully a senior at the Golden Core stage? This dad of mine is kind of stupid."
Wen Mingze's old face turned faintly red, and he gave her a set of robes that could withstand attacks from Golden Core cultivators.
Wen Muxue tripped on level ground, and the arrogant, sharp-tongued second senior brother blamed Gu Qingyue. "Why did you push our little junior sister down? I never thought you could be so vicious. You're just a country bumpkin, after all."
Gu Qingyue trembled all over with fright, afraid to defend herself, but inwardly she cursed, Blind idiot. If anything, she's the one who ran into me. And since when does Wen Muyue not know how to walk, even though she's at the Golden Core stage? She can't even walk on flat ground without falling? Is she a giant baby? No wonder she's so weak.
The second senior brother looked her up and down. "You look so pathetic, I doubt you could push our little junior sister over. Here, take this body-tempering technique."
Wen Muxue sobbed that her precious golden bell had gone missing. The rich third senior brother, who was foolish with money, suspected Gu Qingyue. "Did you steal your junior sister's golden bell, you country bumpkin?"
Gu Qingyue curled up in fear and clamped her mouth shut like a clam, unable to defend herself, but inwardly she scoffed, What golden bell? It's right there on her chest! Is everyone in the Shangqing Sect crazy? Why do they blame me for everything?
The third senior brother felt awkward and casually stuffed a storage pouch into her hands. "Look at how shabby you are. There's a million spirit stones in here. Spend as much as you like, and come to me for more when you run out. Your third senior brother has money to spare."
The fourth senior sister was a stunning beauty who hated evil and couldn't stand Gu Qingyue's cowardice.
One day, she was walking past Gu Qingyue when she saw her instinctively shrink to one side. She was about to scold her, but then she heard Gu Qingyue's inner voice: "Wow, a gorgeous beauty! She's so pretty. I want to cuddle her!"
The fourth senior sister's ears turned red. She pretended to cough, then gave Gu Qingyue a spiked club for beating scumbags. "If anyone bullies you, come to me. I'll get even for you."
Wen Muxue: "???"
How did things end up like this?
The eldest senior brother was recovering from an injury. When he saw Gu Qingyue walking toward him, he looked displeased. He had never liked people interrupting his cultivation.
Then he heard Gu Qingyue think, "Eldest senior brother has such a nice figure. It'd be even better if I could touch him."
He glanced at the usually quiet Gu Qingyue, then silently pulled his clothes closer around himself. His ears turned faintly red as he thought, Could she like me? Well, I suppose I should treat her a little better from now on.
