The day the sect leader came home with Wei Ying, his life changed completely. He was told that he was not part of their family. That the two children are not his siblings. He is not wanted, so he should never think that he is. He was put in a little shack far away from the main compound. He was also told that he should be glad to have a roof over his head and food to eat. He didn't complain he was just glad that he was no longer in the cold streets and alleys from Yiling.

He took everything in grace with a smile on his face. He never complained or asked for anything. His clothes were not of the best. But he didn't care at least he got clothes. He was not allowed to cultivate or even play with the other disciples. He would always wait till night time to slip out of his little home and play in the water and explore the sect.

Even though he wasn't allowed to be around the sect, he still got hit with zidian. He'd come to learn that the woman doesn't really like him that much. Also that she really doesn't like his mama even though she's not here anymore. No matter what he did or didn't do, it was at the end of the day his fault.

Two years since the day has passed. Wei Ying was hungry. He hadn't had anything to eat for the last two days. His tummy was aching and growling from the hunger. He was caught outside during the day and got punished and told that he would get nothing to eat until he learned his lesson. So here he is now contemplating whether or not he should sneak into the kitchen and find something to eat. Another growl from his tummy, he made up his mind.

He sneaked out towards the kitchens, praying nobody was still awake and would catch him. He made it safely, and just as he turned around there, she stood. A sneer on her face, zidian cracking in her hands. Wei Ying let the bun fall from his hands. Even before he could say anything, the first hit fell and then again and again. While she's spitting venomous words at him. But it didn't stop. The hits kept on coming until he saw black spots and passed out. Took him back .I don't care whether he lives or dies.

Wei Ying's back was flogged open. Skin was hanging on by a thread. Blood was pooling around him as he was lying on the floor in his shack. He could feel himself slipping into eternal darkness. That's when he felt it something being poured down his throat. Maybe someone gave him some water, but who. Nobody really paid him no mind here, and then he let himself go. The pain is excruciating, and his back is burning so much. He doesn't care anymore. He just wants to sleep to rest.

"She has really done it. Look at him. How can you treat a child like this. Has she no shame. We need to take him away from here. We've sat by for too long. We need to get him somewhere safe. "

A woman's voice could be heard.

"I agree, but where. Who will take him?."

A man's voice answered.

"Somewhere must be someone. Must be a place for him. It's definitely not here. He will be killed before he even comes of age. "

The woman said again.

"You know we can't interfere. But with this, I agree. We can't leave him here. "

The man said. He put his hands out, and just as a light started to appear from his hands, the woman stopped him. Confuse he looked up at her.

"No,not yet. We gave him the essence of life. He will live, but we need him to see what he went through here. That's the only way we can get him to agree to take the boy in. Stopped the blood flow and fed him some energy. It will help until we get there, and then you can heal him. We will also take away his memories of the awful time he spent here. He doesn't need the trauma anymore. "

The woman said again. He did as he was told while she looked around for something to wrap the boy in. Once she found a quilt, she wrapped him in it carefully, and then both of them disappeared from there.
