    “I was afraid that the people out there would think that I have kidnapped her. Hence, I continued making the back hill a forbidden area. Usually, the guards would guard the foot of the back hill and no one is allowed to step into it without mypany. Fortunately, thedy has left the ce. I can finally lift the ban.”


    “No, the back hill should remain forbidden and make sure to keep everyone out.” Feng Ruqing shook her head.


    “Why?”


    “I don’t know. I always think there is something that we don’t know about on the back hill.”


    The back hill was part of the chief manor. If there was something there, Gu Shi would definitely know it sooner orter. However, Feng Ruqing did not exin further and left Gu Shi guessing.


    Sure enough, Feng Ruqing’s words had left Gu Shi pondering. He was still lost in thought when he left.


    There must be a reason why all the former manor masters had made the back hill a forbidden ce—a reason that Gu Shi did not know of. What could that be?


    Under the setting sun, Feng Ruqing leanedzily against the pavilion. Her eyes were fixed on thedy who was walking toward her with a servant.


    Thedy had a fine figure, her hair was long and straight like a waterfall. Now, she looked refreshing. However, her scar-covered face made her look horrifying.


    Initially, thedy seemed unsettled. However, when she saw Feng Ruqing, she quickly calmed down.


    ‘Fortunately, she is still here.’


    “What’s your name?” Feng Ruqing asked, as the corner of her lips lifted.


    Thedy pursed her lips together, her eyes lit up as she stared at Feng Ruqing.


    “You can’t speak? Can I call you Xiao Ya¹?” Feng Ruqing smiled sweetly


    Thedy’s ck eyes shone even brighter as she nodded hastily.


    “Are you sure you want to leave with me?” Feng Ruqing got up slowly and walked toward Xiao Ya.


    A look of resolute determination settled in Xiao Ya’s eyes.


    “I will heal your wounds. You will stay by my side from now on.” Feng Ruqing paused.


    Not only was thedy’s face disfigured, but her cultivation was also crippled.


    Even so, Feng Ruqing could tell thedycked talent. However, it did not matter. Feng Ruqing did not need someone with great talent. What she wanted was someone with strong perseverance.


    Xiao Ya merely smiled.


    As thedy’s face was badly disfigured, her smile was not pleasant to the eyes. However, Feng Ruqing did not expect thedy’s smile to be so dazzling under the setting sun.


    “Let’s go, I will heal your wounds and restore your crippled meridians. All you need to do is work hard to improve your cultivation.” Feng Ruqing looked hard at Xiao Ya.


    “Don’t you ever forget this. You don’t need to be a great talent, but you must work hard to improve your strength. No one in this world is born to be good for nothing. If you have no talent, you must work harder than those highly gifted people and surpass them.”


    Xiao Ya stared dazedly at Feng Ruqing.


    Back then, when she wanted to recruit disciples, manydies in this realm had gone against each other in order to be her disciple so the people in their n would be protected for the rest of their lives.


    She was like a god in everyone’s mind. Thisdy thought so too. Thedy wanted to be Feng Ruqing’s disciple and even Xiao Ya’sck of talent could never stop her from taking the risk.


    Thedy was the most insignificant one among the many talents. She was bullied but it was the god in her mind who had brought her out of the crowd.


    She would never forget the things that Feng Ruqing had said...
