When Wen Qingyu saw the calmness in her eyes that was not that of a newborn cub, as well as her doubts about his words, his eyes trembled, and he felt more and more distressed, and his tone was extremely serious.

"What your teacher means is that even if this is the case, you can still hide behind your master and senior brothers. It's okay to be a little more diligent, but you can also live like a real child, act like a spoiled child, love to play and be naughty, and even be a little more willful."

Since he gradually came into contact with this child, he felt more and more the indescribable loneliness emanating from the child. She often smiled with her eyes closed, and her childish and cute behavior was all for the purpose of getting what she wanted, even her smile.

She was obviously just born, a tiny creature, whose speech was a little slurred, but she often acted like a little adult, as if she saw through everything in the world. She was not a person of this world, but an outsider, a spectator.

He felt more and more distressed. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, she could not avoid learning some self-defense skills. But she didn't need to torture herself by learning like this, as if she didn't feel any pain.

At least now with them around, she could really be like a child, just like her name, carefree, living under their wings and growing up in pampered care.

Facing the seriousness in his eyes, Chu Chaozhao's round eyes flashed with a trace of surprise, and then he stared at his eyes closely and said very seriously: "No matter what happens, Master and Senior Brother will stand by my side without hesitation?"

"Of course." Wen Qingyu chuckled without hesitation, reaching out to stroke her head lovingly, as if to comfort the restless but extremely lonely heart of the lonely little beast, "Master is your family, and so is Senior Brother. The sect is your home. No matter what happens, Master and Senior Brother will not abandon you."

"What if you are not here?"

"Let's not talk about the fact that you are still young now. In the future, if there really comes a day when Master dies, he will definitely pave the way for you and protect you before he dies."

He spoke so sincerely and devoutly that everyone who listened to him was moved. Chu Chaozhao met those eyes that were full of pity and distress, his heart trembled, and he quickly looked away.

Chu Chaozhao didn't say anything, just nodded, put his hands behind his back and turned to walk out: "I'm going to play."

Looking at her small back, Wen Qingyu smiled: "In fact, you can rely more on your teacher and senior brothers. Remember that we are here to protect you. Don't panic."

Afraid?

What a joke! When has Chu Chaozhao ever been terrified? When has she ever been afraid?

Chu Chaozhao paused, lowered his eyes, and a hint of sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

No one knows that beneath her cute and tender appearance, she hides such an evil soul. If they knew her past, would they still treat her like this?

Will not.

If you know about it, you will be like those people, avoiding them like the plague and scorpion, and want to kill them as soon as possible.

She doesn't believe that people in this world are like this now, but it's just that their interests have not been involved yet. As time goes by, many things will become clear.

But whether she believed it or not, since he had made a promise today, she would wait and see what choice he would make then.

There was a gleam of ruthlessness in her eyes, she raised her head and returned to her nonchalant look, walking out leisurely.

Chu Chaozhao stood on the high platform, looking at the Guiyun Sect below the long steps, watching the people of the sect coming and going, the palace towering into the clouds, the green mountains like ink, and the cranes singing. Some scenes that she thought she would not easily recall suddenly came to her mind like a breeze, causing ripples.

"You said you would never abandon me!"

However, the twelve-year-old Chu Chaozhao, wearing a thin white short-sleeved shirt, stood there, stubbornly pulling at the sleeves of the last pair of adoptive parents, refusing to leave with the others.

The foster mother smiled awkwardly, her eyes clearly filled with greed, but she tried to act kind and coaxed him, "Chao Chao, mother and father are doing this for your own good. The people who will pick you up later are from the laboratory. You can learn a lot when you go there, which is better than following us and not being able to go to school."

Chu Chaozhao tried his best to suppress the anger in his eyes: "You sold me out for just one million?"

Snapped--

What he got in return was a hard slap from his adoptive father. He impatiently crushed the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and said, "We are your parents now. We have raised you for a year after all. Is this your attitude?"

"Hehahahahaha." Chu Chaozhao still maintained the posture of being beaten, and suddenly laughed softly with his face tilted, his tongue repeatedly pressing against his back teeth as if he was suppressing something.

The little girl's face looked sickly pale due to years of malnutrition, and her thin body showed only bones. At this moment, blood was oozing from the corners of her mouth, but she was not angry but smiling, which made the two men feel uneasy and frightened.

They remembered her special powers again and couldn't help but take a big step back.

The adoptive father pushed the adoptive mother and signaled her to speak quickly because the people from the laboratory were coming soon.

The adoptive mother gritted her teeth and did not dare to resist. She stepped forward and said, "Chao Chao, your father is very disappointed with you. He sent you to the laboratory for your own good. How can you say that? It hurts us so much."

He said it in a touching way, as if all that was only because of their deep love for their child. As he was about to hold her hand, the little girl dodged him.

The little girl raised her head and stared at them with a pair of eyes, as if she could see through them. "This year, thanks to my special ability, you have earned more than 10 million, but the lab is only worth 1 million. Are you willing to sell me out? "

The foster mother smiled awkwardly and was about to say something.

The little girl smiled nonchalantly, "Ah~ I know, you are afraid of me, and you are afraid that one day you will be attacked. You are so greedy, hypocritical, and cowardly. So you started looking for a seller half a year ago, right? But you clearly know that the laboratory bought me just to study me, just like studying mice, drawing blood, cutting flesh, and even cutting me open. So, are you still going to sell me?"

There was no sadness in her eyes, but there was a terribly paranoid look. She stared at them intently, as if she would not give up until she got an answer.

The adoptive parents looked at each other and trembled slightly, as if they felt guilty. They did not dare to look directly into the little girl's clear yet persistent eyes. Every time they looked at those eyes, they could not help feeling scared in their hearts.

The phone rang, breaking the eerie silence in the room. After answering the call, the adoptive father laughed, "Chao Chao, it's not like what you said. Be good and I won't hit you. People from the lab are coming soon."

Chu Chaozhao lowered his eyes, looking very well behaved: "Okay."

Her adoptive parents thought she had compromised and accepted her fate, but they didn't know that death was approaching.

Sure enough, the people from the laboratory arrived soon and brought one million in cash. Two of them quickly pushed the girl to each other, and the other party used threats and inducements to take her away.

Before leaving, the little girl's eyes were red with tears and she said she wanted to go back and get something as a souvenir.

The lab staff had just drawn her blood and were in a good mood. Seeing how well behaved she was, they agreed.
