Zhang Ashun closed his eyes and sighed, "Your mother was once a disciple of the Huanling Tribe in Miaojiang. After failing in a contest for the position of sacred girl, she was harmed by her fellow disciples, lost her cultivation, and became no different from an ordinary person. When your mother was being pursued and killed, it was by pure luck that I saved her. Tired of the deceit, she longed to live an ordinary life, thus she married me, and later we had you and your sister. However, she couldn't bring herself to discard the secret manual that her master left her.
Actually, at first, she planned to teach you some Gu techniques, but your mother feared that you would later be entangled in the vendettas of Jianghu. It would be good if you could marry into a fine family and lead an uneventful life.
