Chapter 624: The Mortal Girl Who Became Possessed by the Demon (2)
He looked to be in his early thirties, with white hair and no beard, strong features, and an indifferent expression. There was a circle of golden light behind his head, and a faint aura of respect lingered around him.
Si Wuya lowered his eyelids and looked down at his daughter who was born in this mortal world.
Seeing He Wan just standing there without greeting or saluting, the woman in green clothes showed displeasure on her face and scolded in a low voice, "Why don't you greet the Sect Master quickly!"
In the previous life, the original owner did greet him, but as soon as she uttered the word "father", the woman serving under Si Wuya scolded her, saying that she was "a mortal of low status" and had no right to call Si Wuya father, and demanded that she kneel three times and kowtow nine times when she saw the sect leader.
He Wan wouldn't even kneel to heaven and earth, let alone a cultivator.
She simply performed a simple, earthly ritual: "Greetings, Sect Master."
"Humph--"
"A daughter raised by an ordinary woman is truly unpresentable. She can't even say 'Greetings'."
The woman in colorful clothes looked at He Wan with obvious disdain and disgust in her eyes.
When Si Yunzhui thought about the fact that this woman, who was as insignificant as an ant, had physical contact with Xu Huaizhen, her hatred for her surged like a surging river.
"Meeting the Sect Master is the blessing you've cultivated over three lifetimes. You should kneel three times and kowtow nine times!"
"Okay, Yun Zhui."
The venerable who was sitting high up finally spoke. He looked at He Wan who was kneeling on the spiritual jade floor with a cold gaze, and a vague image of a woman emerged in his mind.
The monk's memory was as vast as a sea of clouds. In just a moment, she remembered the appearance of her mother He Qiu.
At that time, he was traveling in the mortal world and came to the flourishing lake city. He met He Qiu, who played the piano very well. After a few encounters, he had a brief romance with He Qiu for a year.
After He Qiu became pregnant with He Wan, although he repeatedly emphasized that he would not stay long, He Qiu still stubbornly chose to keep the child.
Si Wuya didn't like to interfere too much in other people's decisions. Since He Qiu was willing to keep the child, he didn't say anything more.
After feeling that the baby in He Wan's belly did not have any spiritual roots, Si Wuya left some spiritual stones and silver coins and left.
When he saw He Wan at this moment, he remembered the woman who had once caught his eye.
He Wan looks a lot like He Qiu.
He Qiu was also a famous beauty in Hucheng back then, and He Wan was even more beautiful than He Qiu. She could still leave an impression in the world of immortal cultivation where there were so many beautiful women.
It's just a pity that even though she seems to be trying hard to remain calm, there is still a look of worry between her brows, just like all women in the world, pedantic, old-fashioned and timid.
Si Wuya glanced at He Wan's slightly trembling legs, and then seemed to remember something and withdrew the pressure around him.
"This is your elder sister, Si Yunzhui."
"I see that you have no spiritual roots and no fate to become an immortal. You don't need to learn cultivation in the future. Since your mother has passed away, you can live peacefully in Kunlun Sect."
The poisonous insects have invaded the body, and the life span of a mortal is estimated to be only a few months.
Being able to stay in Kunlun and spend the last moments of your life is a blessing earned through several lifetimes.
After saying this, Si Wuya let her leave.
Si Yunzhui was still sitting there. When she saw He Wan leave, she immediately said to Si Wuya, "Father, He Wan is no longer useful to you. Why are you still keeping her in Kunlun Sect?"
It's just an antidote for the eldest senior brother. Now that the poison has been resolved, it should be thrown out to fend for itself. Why is it still staying in the sect and annoying people?
Si Yunzhui felt particularly disgusted when he thought that such a lowly person had taken away the eldest senior brother's essence.
Si Wuya looked at his eldest daughter and said calmly, "You are still too impatient."
"She's just a little mortal, why bother getting angry with her? Yun'er, you'll be shouldering great responsibilities in the future. Don't forget your father's teachings: don't show your emotions."
...
When He Wan walked out of the hall, the woman in green who had led her here had disappeared without a trace.
He Wan could only follow his memory and walk back to the courtyard, but there seemed to be a formation set up nearby. After walking for a while, He Wan found that there was something wrong with the road.
Kunlun Sect is very large and is made up of mountain ranges.
The mountain where Si Wuya is located is called Xingzhi Mountain, where the disciples of the master's lineage live.
The sect's main hall is also on Xingzhi Mountain.
The mountains were steep and rugged, the road was full of rocks, and there were formations set up. Even He Wan didn't know what to do.
Just as I was about to call the help system, a voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Little junior sister?"
Xu Huaizhen, dressed in white, flew from behind and walked to He Wan's side.
"There's no one in the courtyard. I just asked the disciple who was sweeping the floor and learned that the master had called you away."
Xu Huaizhen said: "Most places in the sect are set up with formations. You don't know immortal arts, so it's normal to get lost. Come on, I'll take you back."
With someone leading the way, there is no need to ask the system for help. He Wan nodded.
Xu Huaizhen felt that something was wrong with He Wan today, so he asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
He Wan said calmly: "Nothing."
"But Yun Zhui is giving you a hard time?" Xu Huaizhen frowned slightly. "Yun Zhui is arrogant and never treats people well. Don't worry about it."
If there is more, even Xu Huaizhen doesn’t know what to say.
He knew Si Yunzhui's temper best, and He Wan could only be mocked and ridiculed by her.
Xu Huaizhen could only tell He Wan to avoid Siyun when he saw her next time.
...
After sending He Wan to Wanhe Courtyard, Xu Huaizhen left.
As soon as Xu Huaizhen left, He Wan felt his stomach growling.
She's a little hungry.
There was a food box left by Xu Huaizhen on the stone table in the yard.
He Wan walked forward and opened the lid, revealing a plate of osmanthus and mung bean cakes.
Everyone in Kunlun Sect is a cultivator. Monks do not need to eat or sleep like ordinary people, but He Wan, as a ordinary person, needs to carry out daily activities such as eating and sleeping to maintain life.
There is no way Si Wuya would remember to prepare these for He Wan, and there are no maids or servants here.
There was nothing else except some supplies and food that Xu Huaizhen bought for her.
When the original owner woke up that day, Xu Huaizhen took many remedial measures: he relieved her body aches and gave her many high-quality elixirs.
As the eldest disciple of the Kunlun Sect's leader, Xu Huaizhen is usually busy with official duties, but he comes to the courtyard every day to visit the original owner and bring him some food.
Although the original owner knew that Xu Huaizhen's tolerance and care for her was just out of guilt, she was even more heartbroken after learning the truth.
But Xu Huaizhen is the only person who treats her well since she came to the world of immortal cultivation.
The original owner quickly fell in love with Xu Huaizhen.
The original owner had lived in this courtyard in her previous life. Because of the formation, she couldn't even go out. Once she stepped out of the door of the courtyard, she might not be able to return to the courtyard.
Even if the original owner wanted to return to the mortal world and die, he couldn't do so.
In just two months, the original owner was tortured into a skeleton by the poisonous insects in his body.
And in the pain, the original owner had become possessed by demons without knowing when.
