Shen ying

Chapter 1

Wei ying was a really mischievous child and very energetic child since living in lotus pier ,Beneath his carefree attitude, Wei ying cares deeply for those he loves. He already lost his parents once he can't let anyone else

It had been 3 years since Wei Ying was brought to Lotus Pier by Sect Leader Jiang Fengmian or who he called "uncle" ,with the promise of a new family and home ,He had been so excited at that time, thinking he'd finally have a home, a roof above his head, food and clothing, and everything that he could ever ask for. But all of those dreams were silently shattered when he met the Madame of Lotus Pier yu ziyuan

She was a woman full of anger and jealousy whose emotions seemed to burn fiercely as the lightning that heralded the storms,her jealousy was not the fleeting kind but a deep rooted envy , wei ying had thought she was stupid not even letting a dead person have some peace cursing his mother every time she got a chance,she was the reason of her own unhappiness and allowing her family to crumble

Everyone said that Wei Ying was spoiled by sect leader jiang, but he himself knew that wasn't true and only rumors . If he did prefer him, then why would he keep his mouth shut,head down and let his madame whip his so favored child?He said he was his a die best friend, yet he allowed his wife to talk badly about them in front of everyone.

Jiang Fengmian even told him his courtesy name would be Wuxian, which meant "no envy". He said that Wei Ying didn't have to envy anything. But Wei Ying wasn't stupid. He was very innovative and intelligent as people would say but no one ever told him that his parents had died early and he had lived on streets who would say that to a street rat ,so he knew from the beginning. It wasn't a gift but a  note that he should never be jealous of what wasn't his, like Jiang Cheng's position as heir. It was a constant reminder  that he should know his place, that he was nothing but their servant and shield.

He knew this because Jiang Fengmian said it himself.

Once, after Jiang Fengmian and Madame yu had a hours long argument, he walked out into thier argument but was quick enough to hide behind a wall pier,he didn't meant to listen in

"San-niang,you just don't understand it.........wei ying is our children protector,thier shield,thier sword to leeche on,that what Changze was supposed to do until he defected for cangse sanren,that why I took a ying from the streets,he has to settle his father debts

" ahhhh I see now fengmian,now we are talking,but I still can't take your word for it because all you could be doing is scraping for that child like you did for cangse every time she caused trouble I remember how when leave it-"

" take my word san-niang believe me just this once for a cheng and a li"

Wei wuxian who was hiding behind a wall quickly scrambled off,tears flooded his vision he ran straight ahead to his room in the servant quarters , it was night no one was around,he cried tho it wasn't a shock he knew it and all but wanted to believe it was fake ,he was just a little child who didn't Even see the world fully and how would he know what this all meant.

Betrayal,anger,sad,hurt millions thoughts raised through his little brain which hadn't even grown fully,he knew lotus pier wasn't ever his home and never was gonna be but he still wanted to believe it was Heaven not hell.

He always took responsibility of other jiang disciples as thier head disciple,he loved teasing them,dueling them but he also hated to take thier responsibility, he would be whipped several times if he did wrong or they did wrong he still remember the words clearly obviously it hadn't been much long ,sometimes when madam was bored she would whip him with no excuse,it was heart wrenching

Today was one of those days, and the Sect Madame had truly gone insane or something . Normally, Wei Ying only had to suffer 10-15 s strokes of zidian, but today, the Madame had increased the number to 50 And when she grew tired of that, she turned to more brutal methods. She asked her loyal servants yinzhu and jinzhu to kick him obviously cuz he dosent want her hands bloody with a servant blood, bleeding body over and over again, kicking him until he coughed up blood before grabbing him by his hair. Still not satisfied, she whipped him 20 times more, as if finally wanting to ending his insignificant existence. If it wasn't for his strong golden core, she might have done it

He didn't know that she had sabotaged his cultivation. Madame Yu could never stand the idea of a servant son surpassing her son, and even with her interference , Wei Ying continued growing way stronger than Jiang Cheng. He would never know she made sure of it.

In her grand performance.she did something much worse.

Madame Yu had a dungeon full of wild street dogs lined up . She knew Wei Ying was terrified of them and had continued growing them fierce maybe to torture the child. Without a hint of sympathy or regret her last performance started , she threw the child in the small dungeon , ignoring the boy's pleading and cries as the feral beasts bit and clawed at the already bleeding child.

she left, Madame Yu wasn't there to witness Wei Ying's desperate pleading probably cuz she was busy acting as the sect leader since jiang fengmian had left for a conference,an old grandpa who he recognized as the head of servants came and open the cage to free the child out of pure sympathy

" go away now a xian don't look back whatever happens, I have already cleared the nearest exit to go outside and arranged a Sampan to somewhere under the name zhen yang tell them your name is zhen yang ,don't come back here no one wants you here alright? Listen to this old man and do him a favor "he said in concern

Wei ying nodded and He ran and ran without looking back , and kept running long after Lotus Pier faded into the distance. Despite the blood he was losing from all the wounds, despite his his back giving up on him ,despite his raging fever, and despite the pain of moving any part of his body, he still ran. Whatever happened to him, be it bleeding out in the forest, Wei Ying was determined to be free of the Jiangs.

He saw a Sampan and a man waving at him he quickly got on,the man said they were heading outside yunmeng and far away from yunmeng anywhere,the man had said he was the old Servant friend who was also a servant previously and got accused of stealing zidian while he was only cleaning as he was asked to and got a beating from it personally,he took care of wei ying until they reached far - far away
