Is There Something You're Sad About?

Thinking back to the past, she was just a young mistress of the Ying family. That was why she led such a pitiful life.

Forget about wanting to have some opinions, she didn't even have the right to act on her own. As long as she was slightly disobedient, she would be locked up in her room all day.

If her mother had not secretly let her leave this place, she would probably have been sent to the marriage alliance by now.

For a moment, Ying Zhuxia could no longer hold back the feeling of grievance in her heart, especially when she thought of how good Xu Tian was to her. She cried even more aggrievedly.

"Boohoo, Mother, I'm living very well now. Just wait for me for a while. I'll go back to visit you. I'll definitely bring you away from that place. You just have to wait for me to go back."

Ying Zhuxia's mother was an ordinary maid who had slept with the head of the Ying family when he was drunk. Actually, Ying Zhuxia's mother did not want to, but she could not oppose the head of the family.

Moreover, Ying Zhuxia's mother had only given birth to a daughter. However, because she was the daughter of a concubine, she was not valued by the head of the Ying family.

As a result, Ying Zhuxia and her mother's status in the family was very low. They could not even compare to the butler in the family. This was their fate!

In fact, even Ying Zhuxia, the daughter of the head of the family, was treated as a tool for the marriage alliance of the family. She had to marry the heir of the Bo family when she turned seventeen!

"Do you have something on your mind?" Seeing Ying Zhuxia cry, Xu Tian frowned as if he had instinctively sensed something amiss.

Ever since Xu Tian broke through to the Illuminant Stage, his spiritual senses had become even sharper. Moreover, his range of awareness had also become wider.

At this moment, the slight sadness on his disciple's face was exposed to Xu Tian's spiritual senses.

"Master, I'm fine. Don't worry." Ying Zhuxia gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and forcefully suppressed the sadness in her heart.

Master had already treated her very well! She could not drag her Master down with her marriage anymore. Besides, this was her personal issue, how could Xu Tian help her for no reason?!

"If you don't say it, then you're not treating me as your Master. If that happens, I'll be angry!" Xu Tian reached out and gently touched Ying Zhuxia's head. At the same time, he sounded a little angry.

On the other hand, from the expression of Ying Zhuxia just now, Xu Tian could tell at a glance that she might also be a girl with a hard life. Otherwise, why would such a good girl want to become a cultivator?

Moreover, when he was imparting his cultivation skills previously, Xu Tian had seen it. Although Ying Zhuxia was dressed like the daughter of a rich family, there was still a lot of mud on her skin! Ying Zhuxia had probably come up the mountain alone.

If she was really a young mistress, how could she have crossed the mountains alone? It could be seen that her previous living environment was not very ideal!

And Xu Tian's gentle treatment of Ying Zhuxia, as if he was her father and also her elder brother, made Ying Zhuxia very obsessed. She did not dare to resist Xu Tian at all.

"Yes! Since Master says so, alright, I'll tell you." Ying Zhuxia looked at Xu Tian's slightly angry face. Then, she hesitated for a while before nodding and agreeing to let Xu Tian know about her background.

Ying Zhuxia's emotions were slowly brewing in her heart. Then, she began to organize her thoughts. Perhaps she had experienced too many things and had endured them alone for too long.

Therefore, Ying Zhuxia finally seemed to have found someone to rely on. The sadness in her heart began to brew at this moment, and she began to feel even more wronged.

The corners of Ying Zhuxia's eyes began to turn red. Then, she began to tell her story. "To be honest, Master, I came to the Rampant Sect to cultivate because I wanted to avoid a man. I don't want to get married…"

"You don't want to get married?" Xu Tian raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

"Yes. In my family, it was because I was born of a concubine that my father used me as a backup for a marriage alliance. He wanted to betroth me to the young master of another family…"

Ying Zhuxia frowned as she recounted the past.

Before Ying Zhuxia came to the Rampant Sect to become a disciple, the family arranged a marriage for her. Actually, according to their family, they wanted Ying Zhuxia to marry into the Bo family after she turned 16.

The person Ying Zhuxia was married to was the heir of the Bo family—Bo Yangzi! However, this person was interesting. Before Bo Yangzi was 13 years old, he had always been ordinary. Even his cultivation level was the lowest in the family. They even thought that he was not talented.

However, after he became a teenager, Bo Yangzi's cultivation suddenly increased, and the speed of his growth was simply ridiculous. In just three years, he had already reached the peak of the Qi Refinement Stage!

Although this talent was worlds apart from Xu Tian's, in this secular world, he was considered a dragon among men. He had even surpassed the talent of many disciples in the Rampant Sect. If Bo Yangzi wanted to enter the Rampant Sect, he could.

However, a person like him had an eccentric personality as well. As long as there was a disagreement and he felt that the other party did not do as he wanted, this man would hit them. Bo Yangzi was only around twenty years old, but the number of people who had died at his hands was uncountable!

As for Ying Zhuxia's mother, she could not bear to see her daughter marry such a devil incarnate. She secretly let Ying Zhuxia escape and let her come to the sect to become a disciple.

That was how Ying Zhuxia met Xu Tian…

"Escaping marriage? So that's how it is?" Xu Tian listened to his disciple and nodded slightly, roughly understanding the situation.

However, compared to this matter, Xu Tian was more interested in Bo Yangzi because he seemed to be hiding some secrets.

"However, this Bo Yangzi, being the heir of their Bo family, and the fact that when he became a teenager, his cultivation started to rise… Why do I feel that these factors adding up seem a little familiar?"

Xu Tian frowned and carefully recalled what Ying Zhuxia had said just now. He muttered, "This thing called Bo Yangzi seems to be quite interesting!"
