The two of them had grown up together from a very young age and they trained together. Ying Ge had always been very diligent and hardworking.

Because she was very much aware of her status and position, where it was destined that she would never be able to raise her head high here in the Mind Free Peak, hence she needed to make up for it with ten or even a hundred times more effort, before she would have to chance to stand above others.

She was a person of few words and she seldom revealed her emotions. It could be said that her personality was cold and distant. But Qing Lan Fei had never cared about the cold expressionless face the girl always put on, treating her like her very own sister.

Although Ying Ge had never said it out aloud, she actually remembered it all in her heart and she had always respected this Senior of hers. When Master decided to rid her Senior of her spirit power core and to throw her out from his discipleship, Ying Ge had then knelt there under the freezing snow for seven whole days. But that still did not change her Master’s mind in the end.

Qing Lan Fei was forcibly stripped of her spirit power core and when the pain was so great that she was almost going to lose consciousness, she saw the icy cold Ying Ge who was never one prone to showing emotions cry while she embraced her.

That was the first time that Qing Lan Fei saw her cry.

Even when the girl met with an accidental mishap while cultivating and her meridians were severed which caused her to bleed from all seven orifices which very nearly took her life, the girl had not once complained about the pain, like she was a monster who was incapable of feeling anything at all.

But when she saw Qing Lan Fei looking almost on her last breaths before her eyes, Ying Ge cried like a little child, almost losing her voice, pleading again and again for her Senior to not die like that.

Qing Lan Fei had also cried. She just could not bear to leave this junior of hers who was as close to her as her real sister though they were not related by blood at all.

She knew that Ying Ge was not good at expressing what she felt in her heart with words but her feelings could be felt from her everyday actions that showed that the girl treasured her just as much as she did herself.

And when the time came for her to leave the Mind Free Peak, the eyes that Ying Ge had looked at her with had been highly conflicted, but seemed to be tinged with a strange bit of envy at the same time.

The last words she had said back then had been: “Senior, you must remain well. And, do not come back here again. Never ever again.”

She seemed to be telling her, that they would never meet again.

Ying Ge wanted to go see the outside world so much, but she could not. It was as if there were invisible shackles that bound her body, trapping her, making it impossible for her to take a single step out of this place.

So when Qing Lan Fei was able to go out, Ying Ge’s heart was actually filled with envy. But after many twists and turns over hundreds of years, she had still come back here.
