Sunlight passed through the dense layers of branches and leaves, printing the ground with copper-colored plaques.The wind carried a little bit of warmth and the fragrance of flowers floated into the simple but comfortable cottage.

“Shifu, it’s already been half a year, why hasn’t little junior sister spoke yet?” Gui Wu listlessly looked towards Gui Yi Zi who was preparing the antidote and complained.

“How can weishi know?It must be because you stinky brats have not been treating Xiao Nian Nian very good!” Gui Yi Zi, knocked Gui Wu on the head, blamed.

“What?We are really good to little junior sister.Senior brother, you guys, am I not right?” Gui Wu confoundedly rubbed his forehead and turned to his senior brothers.

“Of course, we really are very good to little junior sister!” Gui Er vowed solemnly.They really did treat this little junior sister very well.

Gui Yi Zi did not speak, how can he not know?These stinky brats were really good towards Xiao Nian Nian, treating Xiao Nian Nian like their own sister.After this half a year’s getting along, he not only thought of Xiao Nian Nian as his apprentice, he even doted on Xiao Nian Nian like his own granddaughter.But even so, except for the first time when Xiao Nian Nian said she was called You Nian, she did not speak one word for half a year.

She was clearly an eight-year-old child but was so quiet as if she had experienced the vicissitudes of the world. Those clear eyes revealed sadness but also loneliness.But what made Gui Yi Zi proud was, Xiao Nian Nian was an absolute genius.She was a quick learner, even faster than Gui San who was the smartest amongst the five apprentices.The five stinky brats couldn’t help but admire, proclaiming junior sister was a genius.

Although all six of them did not speak outright, their hearts ached for Lan You Nian.Every month when the poison took effect, Lan You Nian trembled from pain, sweating cold sweat continuously, but never made a sound.Even if her lips were bitten till it bled, she never shed a single tear.How much endurance was needed in order to do this?What must have been experienced to not fear pain?How can this kind of Lan You Nian not make people feel heartache?
