Author Note: Please calm your anger down and give this story a try. The beginning might be annoying because of the plots and the men. However, you'll find out everything later behind the male leads' objectives and why would they do these things to Xuexue. The truth will reveal around chapter 47-48 and chapter 63-67 (the reason why they did so). At that time, it won't be too late to decide if you want to continue the journey with me or leave. Thank you for your time. Please don't expect a perfect start, a perfect MC and the perfect characters who are flawless because life is not perfect and the story has to progress from zero to a hundred. If this isn't your type of badass and cool MC that you wish, please kindly avoid it. Although she forgives them, but that doesn't mean that she'll accept them. Unless they prove to her that they worth her affection and kindness, will she recognize them as her partners.
[Twin Moons Continent, Silver Domain, Eternal Celestial Sect, Misty Moon Peak, Snowy Mountain]
The sky is clear, with a dazzling azure sky and puffy white clouds like cotton candy. The crisp and cold breeze is flowing throughout the lush trees in the mountain. The trees are covered with snow for as far as the eyes can see, and the ground is covered with inches of white, fluffy snow. Everything is white.
In a high mountain at a certain sect, the sound of something falling to the ground resounded.
"Bang!!"
A slender figure was thrown heavily into the tree before her figure slid down to the ground. She spat out the blood on the white snow; her messy hair was disheveled; and her Hanfu dress was dirty due to the dirt on the land. She lowered her head so that no one could see her expression clearly.
"This is what you got from hurting Xia'er." His always gentle expression at this time was still gentle; his voice was smooth and sweet, but his words and actions were so fierce that it hurt someone who listened to him.
The man's charming face turned gloomy with exasperation. There was a trace of the spiritual power circled in his palm. He was the one who hurt her.
He ignored the strange feeling that she seemed to change today. Why doesn't she dodge his attack?
"What has Xia'er done to you? Why would you hurt her every time that we're not around?" Another tall man frowned in disapproval. The snow fell on his long hair, making his beauty look more stunning.
"Xiao Xia, how are you?" The man's slender fingers stroked a beautiful woman's face gently with pity after he fed her a healing pill.
"I'm fine, big senior brother, second senior brother, and third senior brother," Xiu Wanxia said, shaking her head slightly. Her voice was soft and pleasing.
There were five fingers mark on Xiu Wanxia's white face. Blood dripped from the corner of her cherry lips, and the corner of her eyes turned red as if she were enduring something that was hurtful. Her sapphire-blue eyes were so dazzling, like a pearl in the sea.
Even so, she refused to say anything or cry. She was stubborn enough to show her weakness in front of them.
Seeing her state, the men sighed in sympathy. Their hearts were broken seeing that the person that they held dearly, like a precious treasure in their palm, was injured by someone else.
"Come here, Xiao Xia; I'll wipe your blood." One of them took out the handkerchief from the space ring to wipe the blood from her lips. His action was considered and gentle, as if he were afraid that he'd hurt her.
"Third brother, thank you." She was sensible and humble, so the men felt that their hearts were soft because of her loveliness.
The other two men didn't speak. They turned to look at the culprit who hurt her.
"Xiu Wanxue, when will you learn to treat your own sister with some kindness?" Zhu Zemin approached Xiu Wanxue, who was covered in blood due to their punishments.
He squatted down and raised his flawless fingers to lift her face up. In his eyes, there was a trace of disgust, anger, and an unknown expression that no one knew.
"Big senior brother, you're hurting me." Xiu Wanxue's plain voice echoed. Her ruby eyes were so deep that Zhu Zemin felt uncomfortable.
The slender fingers stroked her bloody face gently as his eyes turned blank before he stood up and pushed her away from him like he had just touched something dirty.
"If you obediently tell the truth and apologize to Xia'er, we'll spare you from the master's punishment." Mo Meifen's devilishly charming face seemed to smile, but not smile.
He walked slowly until he reached her. Leaning over, he grapped her messy hair fiercely to let her lift her face to face him.
"You and Xia'er are similar to each other. I wonder, Why can't you be kind and well behaved like Xia'er?" Feeling the smoothness of her hair through his fingers and palms, he seemed to be addicted to playing with her hair.
He ignored her uncomfortable expression and kept kneading her hair. His action wasn't gentle, so she frowned because it hurt.
"Mo Meifen, you're crazy." Xiu Wanxue pushed him away with her weak strength.
She just suffered a heavy attack, so she didn't have any strength to lift her hand now. Her hand was covered in snow and blood, red and gleaming.
"Call me second senior brother!" Mo Meifen clasped her neck tightly, as if he wanted to strangle her to death.
Xiu Wanxue tried to use her spiritual power to heal herself when she found out that the spiritual power seemed to be sealed by something.
"Puff!" She spit out the blood, wetting Mo Meifen's long hanfu.
"You're nauseating me." Mo Meifen looked at the blood on his robes, and he narrowed his phoenix eyes dangerously.
He stood up and took his outer robe off before throwing it into the corner of the mountain. He then took out a new robe to wear. (Note: He wore two robes, so when he took off one, there was still the inner garment.)
"What have I done to deserve this treatment?" Xiu Wanxue looked at the men's faces one by one before her eyes stopped at the face that looked exactly the same as her.
The only difference was those pair of sapphire blue eyes that were looking at her with sadness and compassion.
Compassion? Xiu Wanxue sighed softly. If you're sad, why are you doing this again and again? What are your purposes? Why do you have to push me to this point?
Unfortunately, even if she explains, no one believes her. How many times did she try to explain everything only to end up receiving their disgust toward her?
"Fourth junior sister, don't blame us for being heartless and treating you like this. Ask yourself: Why do you keep hurting Xiao Xing behind our backs? Are we tolerating you too much?" Zeng Shihong stood in front of Xiu Wanxia as he released his coercion on Xiu Wanxue.
Hurting Xiao Xia?
Xiu Wanxue thought back. Every time she was alone with Xiu Wanxia, problems always occurred. Xiu Wanxia intentionally hurt herself. When everyone arrived, they scolded her for hurting Xiu Wanxia.
Xiu Wanxia was extremely clever. Her way to convince people to believe and listen to her was horrifying.
If she wants to tell people that she could create the butterfly with seven wings, she will prove to them that she could do it even if that sky butterfly doesn't exist or that she cannot do it.
How did Xiu Wanxia do it? Xiu Wanxue didn't know either. That is why she was extremely curious until now.
If the event today didn't happen, she would also believe in Xiu Wanxia.
