After modification: Chapter 50 Teaching

Actually, if it were a year ago, Yuan Yi would not have refused Xiao Qi's invitation.

At that time, she was indeed a simple and kind-hearted girl. Before joining Baihua Valley, she was just a naive girl born into a merchant family, living in the most prosperous Jiangning of Great Chu. Her parents were engaged in waterway trade. Although the family was not extremely wealthy, they had never let her suffer. Hence, Yuan Yi believed that everyone around her was a good person. This belief did not change until after the Beihai Tomb. It wasn't that Yuan Yi became sophisticated and worldly-wise after experiencing life and death, but rather, after returning to the sect from the Beihai Tomb, she suddenly learned that her once promising family was actually struggling bitterly to stay afloat.
