The next morning, Wunian woke up in the bed that her master used to sleep in. She had an incomparably peaceful night and did not wake until day broke.
Wunian stretched and yawned again. She waved her hand and felt refreshed. Cultivation was so great. She didn't have to wash her face or brush her teeth!
She looked down at her garment, it was a light blue dress. She was also wearing blue embroidered shoes. They were all exquisite and pretty. In the past three years, she had grown much taller and become very beautiful.
She was now 11 years old. At 11 years old, she was no longer that pitiful child that everyone could push around.
Big Sister, how are you? I'm coming to look for you now. And now, I can protect you! Wait for me!
Wunian thought to herself that she would ensure these "relatives" who had hurt her and her sister received double the punishment.
Wunian chose a set of plain clothes and shoes from the objects storage space. Then a flash enveloped her body and she found herself in the place where she first arrived. The five towering mountains from before were gone. The lake at the center of the mountains and the pools surrounding the lake were also gone. Now, all she could see was a vast, boundless and desolate grassland. Wunian wasn't surprised because all these existed in her Space of Consciousness.
The same vulture circled down from the sky and swooped down beside Wunian. It started speaking in human language.
"I'll see you off, Master,"
"It's you! Why do you call me Master too? I didn't take you in as a disciple!"
"Master, I was born in the Five Mountains, grew up in the Five Mountains and gained sentience in the Five Mountains. My cultivation was also in the Five Mountains. Now that Master has taken over the Five Mountains, I'm naturally a part of the Five Mountains. Please accept me, Master."
"Alright, I was just saying. I have to thank you for bringing me here. Naturally, I won't let you be homeless."
"Thank you, Master!"
"Let's go now, to rescue my sister!"
"Yes! Master, sit tight on my back!"
Wunian sat on the vulture's back and looked down! The calmness in her heart now made all the difference. Now, she was confident and fearless.
Wunian tapped her finger lightly and a drop of blood appeared on her finger. She tapped it on her forehead and chanted the Bloodline Guidance Technique. Immediately, she found herself in a county city less than 50 miles away from Liuxia Village. In the courtyard of a grand mansion around the corner, Wunian saw her sister being beaten up. It had been six years since she last saw her.
Wunian's tears fell like rain, blurring her vision. She wiped her tears and instructed the vulture to charge towards the mansion.
The next moment, Wunian was circling above the residence on the vulture. Many people in the residence saw this and felt that something big was about to happen.
The circling vulture swooped down. The servants in the residence were so frightened that they ran around. When Wunian landed, she placed the vulture into the natural space.
Then, with a flash, she was behind her sister. A fat woman in her thirties was whipping her sister with a wooden whip. I'll teach you to steal buns from the kitchen, I'll teach you to steal buns from the kitchen! She said between each lash that fell on Wunian's sister.
Wunian suddenly appeared before the fat woman, startling her.
"Who are you? Who said you are allowed in here?"
Wunian waved her hand gently and the fat woman fell back more than ten meters. "How dare you hit my elder sister? I think you're tired of living!"
As Wunian raised her hand again, the fat woman hurriedly turned over and knelt down. She kept saying, "Heroine, spare me, spare me! I won't dare to do it again! Boohoo."
Juxiang turned around and saw Wunian's beautiful little face. Tears welled up in her eyes as Wunian helped her up.
Juxiang looked at the watery-eyed beauty before her and asked in confusion, "Thank you for saving me, Miss. It's just that I did indeed steal a bun from the kitchen because I was hungry."
Juxiang was knocked to the ground earlier on, hence she didn't see how the fat woman was sent flying. So she didn't panic like the fat woman did.
That's right! When they separated, Wunian was only five years old. It had been six years since they last met. Coupled with the three years that Wunian had spent in cultivation, she had grown taller and more beautiful. It was not surprising that Juxiang did not recognize her.
"Big Sister, it's me! I'm Little Sister, your good little sister! Wunian!" Still, the girl ended up with tears flowing like spring water out of her eyes.
The elder sister was stunned and could not believe it. She smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Miss! My younger sister leads a hard life. It's likely that she's still suffering in Liuxia Village!" When Juxiang mentioned her younger sister, she started crying uncontrollably.
"Big Sister, believe me. I'm Wunian. We'll talk about the rest later. I'll take you away today."
Upon hearing the commotion, how could no one have checked? When a servant saw that Wunian had easily thrown the fat woman more than ten meters away, he hurriedly ran to tell the family butler. When the butler heard this, he said angrily, "With me around, how dare someone come and cause trouble!"
He didn't sound like a butler. Instead, he sounded like a thug.
