In just a few short days, Gu Youwei had already reached the Body Tempering Realm Tenth Level.
She had suffered broken bones and torn tendons, yet after eating nothing more than some leftover medicinal dregs, she was already lively and kicking again.
That was simply too monstrous!
Even calling her a monster felt like giving monsters too much credit!
Liu Caiyun had been standing nearby at the time. With a beaming smile, she looked at Gu Youwei. "Good daughter, you truly make Mother's heart ache."
"You were clearly seriously injured today as well, yet you still had to brew the medicine. I really feel terrible about it."
Gu Youwei had thought Liu Caiyun was genuinely concerned for her.
She immediately raised her head and replied with a smile, "Mother, your daughter is fine. This little injury is nothing at all!"
"Compared to me, Father needs more care. I can stay here and continue looking after Father."
But Liu Caiyun continued asking, "Daughter, has your body really recovered completely?"
"Do you not feel even the slightest discomfort now?"
Hearing Liu Caiyun ask that, Gu Youwei was so moved that she was nearly brought to tears.
Because this was the feeling of family she had always longed for.
And at the thought of it, Gu Youwei could not help recalling her previous life.
Gu Chen had been so heartless that he would rather give up everything than let her remain with the Gu family.
As a result, in her previous life, Gu Youwei had never experienced her parents' love. She had even followed Gu Chen through many bitter days of drifting from place to place.
Thinking back on it now, Gu Youwei's hatred for Gu Chen deepened by several degrees.
She looked at Liu Caiyun and said emotionally, "Mother, to be honest, I have not fully recovered yet."
"Some places on my body still ache faintly, and I do not dare exert my full strength."
"But it does not affect my normal life at all. You do not need to worry about me."
Gu Youwei was almost moved to tears again.
Because she felt Liu Caiyun was simply the gentlest mother in the world!
She swore that no matter what happened in the future, she would be filial to Liu Caiyun!
Then Gu Zhengchun spoke from beside them, "Good daughter, there are plenty of servants in the household. You do not need to trouble yourself."
"Come, come, hurry and rest. Otherwise, your father will feel heartache!"
Upon hearing that, Gu Youwei was deeply moved.
At that moment, her resolve became even firmer.
She would definitely honor Gu Zhengchun and Liu Caiyun in the future.
Otherwise, she would be unworthy of being their daughter!
"Father, how could medicine brewed by servants compare to medicine brewed carefully by your daughter? Please let your daughter serve you!"
As she spoke, Gu Youwei directly picked up the medicine spoon and personally fed Gu Zhengchun his medicine.
Gu Zhengchun's face was slowly filled with the smile of a loving father.
But if one could cut open his heart—
One would discover that it was filled entirely with thoughts as wicked as a demon's!
"Good daughter, come, sit here. Your mother and I actually have something we wish to discuss with you."
Gu Zhengchun secretly glanced at Liu Caiyun. Then Liu Caiyun said, "Daughter, I see that you are exceptionally gifted. You surely possess the bearing of a Great Emperor."
"I intend to send you to cultivate at the Cangshan Sword Sect. That would also be of help along your future path of cultivation."
Upon hearing that, Gu Youwei's face was full of gratitude.
She even failed to hold back, and a teardrop fell directly from the corner of her eye!
She could not help thinking that in her previous life, Gu Chen, that wolf-hearted, dog-lunged wretch, had taken her away from the Gu family.
As a result, she had lost such wonderful resources and suffered quite a few hardships on the path of cultivation.
So now that she had been reborn, Gu Youwei would not lose this opportunity no matter what!
But upon careful thought, besides cultivation, there was something even more important to Gu Youwei now.
That was staying by Gu Zhengchun and Liu Caiyun's side and properly being filial to the two of them!
"Father, Mother, but your daughter still wishes to stay here and honor you."
"If your daughter goes to the Cangshan Sword Sect, I will have no way to continue caring for you."
Gu Youwei had not noticed the danger at all. She even threw herself directly into Gu Zhengchun's arms.
As he gently stroked Gu Youwei's head, a crafty and sly smile appeared on Gu Zhengchun's face.
"Good daughter, your mother and I are reluctant to part with you as well."
"But at your current age, cultivation is the foremost priority."
Liu Caiyun gently patted Gu Youwei's back from beside them.
She said tenderly, "That's right. Just like your eldest brother, Gu Feng. We sent him to the Cangshan Sword Sect as well."
"Now that you are also our daughter, naturally we must make plans for your future too."
Hearing Gu Zhengchun and Liu Caiyun's words—
Gu Youwei was moved beyond measure.
She even wondered what kind of bitter days she had lived through in her past life.
No father's affection, no mother's love.
Drifting without a fixed home every day, sleeping in the open and dining in the wind. She even had to watch others' expressions just to eat a meal.
In the end, following Gu Chen had not brought her the slightest benefit. He had even directly taken away the Heavenly Dao Bone that belonged to her.
As memories of every single event from her previous life surfaced, a vigorous hatred suddenly appeared in Gu Youwei's eyes.
She swore that in this life, she would cultivate fiercely and strive to reach a Cultivation Level that could utterly crush Gu Chen.
When that time came, she would use the most vicious tortures in the world to punish Gu Chen!
"Father, Mother, can it not be delayed for a while?"
"Your daughter has only just returned home. I do not want to leave you so soon."
In response to Gu Youwei's words, Gu Zhengchun could not help grumbling inwardly, You little beast, how much longer do you plan to eat and drink off our Gu family?
"Besides, it has only been a few days, and you are already at the Body Tempering Realm Tenth Level."
"If you stay here for a while longer, I'm afraid that in the end, even I will not be able to defeat you!"
Thinking of this, Gu Zhengchun hurriedly said, "Daughter, cultivation is not something that can wait."
"Besides, you are so gifted. Delaying even one more day would be irresponsible toward you."
"Your mother and I are reluctant to part with you too, but for the sake of your future, we can only cut off our love with tears in our eyes."
In order to completely persuade Gu Youwei, Liu Caiyun continued, "Yes. Once you arrive at the Cangshan Sword Sect, your eldest brother Gu Feng will be your senior brother."
"Your father and I will tell him to take good care of you over there."
Gu Youwei was so moved that she did not know what to say.
In this life...
Ah, no—more precisely, in both her past life and this one.
She had never felt such warm fatherly and motherly love!
Thinking that she would be able to feel the genuine love of an elder brother after arriving at the Cangshan Sword Sect—
Gu Youwei could not help looking forward to it.
Although Gu Youwei was reluctant to leave her father and mother—
After thinking it over carefully, in her previous life, when she had first followed Gu Chen, she had taken many detours in cultivation.
