~3 minute read · 873 words

"Uh..."

The old man was taken aback. He hadn’t expected his beloved disciple, Little Seven, to return and immediately ask such a question.

As the Peak Master of Seventh Peak, the old man had already reached the Divine Bridge Realm Summit in his cultivation base, making him a formidable figure in the Qingxia Sect.

"Master, didn’t you say I was an orphan? Picked up from the mountains, isn’t that right?" Little Seven became anxious and hastily questioned loudly.

"Indeed, that is true, Little Seven. Why do you ask such a question?" the old man asked curiously.

"Master, I may have found my twin brother! We look exactly alike..." Little Seven exclaimed excitedly, clenching her small fists.

"Your twin brother?!"

The old man was stunned, a look of shock on his face.

Of course, the old man had other considerations too.

Nearby, the Ruyi Jade Spider’s expression changed drastically.

Though displeased, the Ruyi Jade Spider restrained herself.

"Yes, Master! My brother looks exactly like me, only he’s taller than I am..." Little Seven clapped her hands excitedly.

The old man had raised Little Seven from a young age and knew she wouldn’t lie. He was also somewhat pleased and said with a smile, "In that case, he might very well be your brother..."

Little Seven turned, looked excitedly at the Ruyi Jade Spider, and said, "Haha! I told you so, Sister! You have to take me back. I want to acknowledge my brother!"

The Ruyi Jade Spider almost spat blood.

Suddenly, the old man took out an ancient Jade Tablet and said to Little Seven, "Little Seven, the only thing that can prove your identity now is this Jade Tablet. I even based your name on it!"

A gust of fragrant wind swept past as Little Seven rushed forward and snatched the Jade Tablet.

"Goodness, Master! You’ve been hiding this all along and never told me!" Little Seven complained, pouting.

"..." The old man’s face flushed red, and he was speechless with embarrassment.

Like a butterfly flitting among flowers, Little Seven darted over again, grabbed the Ruyi Jade Spider’s hand, and said impatiently, "Sister, take me back quickly! My brother might also have a Jade Tablet like this..."

"Uh..." The Ruyi Jade Spider’s face stiffened; her throat felt constricted, and she couldn’t speak. She reached out, took the Jade Tablet, and examined it closely.

The Jade Tablet was extremely ancient and clearly very old. The front depicted a pattern of two dragons playing with a pearl. On the back, a red character, "Seven", was inscribed in the texture. This red didn’t look like ordinary dye; due to its age, it was a dark crimson, reminiscent of dried blood.

The old man said hopefully, "Little Seven has been without a mother or father since she was a child. If she can find her biological brother, her life will truly be complete..." He spoke these words while looking at the exquisitely beautiful young girl, Ruyi Jade Spider.

"Sister, please, take me back to find my brother!" Little Seven pleaded repeatedly.

"..." The Ruyi Jade Spider fell silent. Looking at the small face so strikingly similar to her Master’s, she hesitated.

After careful consideration, the Ruyi Jade Spider decided to take the little girl back and let her Master decide.

"Little Seven, I will take you back to find Master," the Ruyi Jade Spider said with a nod.

"Thank you, Sister!" Little Seven jumped with excitement, her small face flushed.

A ray of light ascended as the Ruyi Jade Spider, carrying Little Seven, turned and flew back.

「Meanwhile, Ye Yun had arrived above a vast, silver, snow-capped mountain range.」

As Ye Yun leisurely scanned the vast, snow-covered mountains below, searching for traces of the Blood Spirit Sky Sect Door, he suddenly heard the Immortal Divine Silkworm’s voice.

"Didn’t Master ask Senior Ruyi to send that little girl back? Why did she bring her back again?" The Big Black Cat shot up, peering into the distance.

The other demon beasts, curious, also looked behind them.

"It seems there’s been a slight change of plans..." Ye Yun said with a smile.

A beam of light descended, revealing two adorable little girls.

"Master, I brought her back," the Ruyi Jade Spider said, sticking out her tongue slightly and shrugging with a wry smile. "This girl, Little Seven, has a Jade Tablet that proves her identity, and she says she wants to acknowledge kinship with you..."

"A Jade Tablet?" Ye Yun was momentarily surprised. He hadn’t expected Little Seven to be so insistent.

"Brother, we look exactly alike! You must be my long-lost brother, right? Do you also have a Jade Tablet like this?" Little Seven’s face was beaming as she hopped to Ye Yun’s side and handed him the Jade Tablet.

Ye Yun took the Jade Tablet. Instantly, his expression changed dramatically. His eyes widened, and he stared intently at the tablet, a flood of ancient memories overwhelming him.

Ye Yun frowned, suddenly contemplating this seemingly impossible notion.

His gaze pierced through Little Seven’s flesh and blood. There was no trace of the Dragon Clan’s bloodline in her.
