After disappearing for ten years, the junior sister made the entire sect kneel down to welcome her.

Luo Huanzhen angrily retorted, "I really am six years old! I was six years old ten years ago! I accidentally fell into the Ten Thousand Demon Cave and stayed there for ten years before I climbed out! My senior brothers can testify to this!"

The disciples on duty laughed even harder.

"Ten years or six years old? Kid, you should at least think before you lie."

"The Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, the ancient burial ground of ten thousand demons, and you've been there for ten years! Hahahaha!!!!"

Luo Zhen was so angry that he stomped his foot. Just as he was about to release the demon spirit from the little flag to scare the two of them, a deep and resonant voice came from afar.

"What's all the noise about?"

Upon hearing this voice, Luo Huanzhen's eyes lit up instantly.

Even after ten years, she still remembered that familiar voice—her second senior brother, Lei Ziyue.

Luo Zhen was pleasantly surprised and looked in the direction of the sound. Sure enough, he saw a giant who was about two and a half meters tall, with bronze skin and bulging muscles, not far away.

Like a small, walking mountain.

The second senior brother hasn't changed at all; he's still as tall and big as ever!

Lei Ziyue approached, frowned, and said coldly, "What's all the commotion about the sect entry trial?"

Upon hearing this, the disciple on duty immediately retorted, "Senior Brother Lei, it's not that we're causing trouble. It's that this child insisted on trespassing into the sect and even claimed to be the sect leader's disciple. He doesn't even bother to think before he lies."

Upon hearing this, Lei Ziyue frowned and looked at Luo Huanzhen with hawk-like eyes.

Luo Zhenhuan tilted her head back, her neck aching, but she tried to open her eyes wide so that her second senior brother could see her face clearly.

Second Senior Brother, it's the real me!

I'm back!

Lei Ziyue looked at the dirty little dumpling in front of him, and at her big, bright eyes, and his expression gradually revealed emotion and surprise.

Those eyes...

Before Luo Zhenhuan could speak, a soft voice sounded from behind Lei Ziyue.

"Second Brother, what are you looking at?"

Lei Ziyue was so big that he completely blocked the people behind him.

At this moment, the person walked out and revealed his full appearance to everyone.

She was a girl of about sixteen years old, wearing an elegant white dress and a hood.

As she spoke, she lifted her hood, revealing a delicate and pretty face. She was frail and pale, looking so gentle and fragile that one couldn't help but want to protect her.

The girl's gaze fell on Luo Zhenhuan's face, and as if she were frightened, she immediately covered her eyes and trembled as she shrank into Lei Ziyue's arms.

"Ah! How terrifying! A demon, it's a demon..."

Lei Ziyue then realized that the girl in front of him had a face covered in hideous scars.

The scars crisscrossed, some new and some old, the deepest one running from the forehead across the bridge of the nose to the chin, like a centipede crawling on the small face.

He had just been drawn to her eyes, which were large and bright, stubborn yet clear, and reminded him for a moment of his childhood, of his spirited and talented junior sister, Zhenzhen, who also had such eyes.

So much so that they forgot that ever since their junior sister was rescued from the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, she had developed a psychological trauma related to ugly things.

His spiritual root was also damaged by being devoured by countless demons, losing its once dazzling aura of genius.

Lei Ziyue hugged her apologetically and comforted her, "I'm sorry, it was my fault, I didn't notice. Zhenzhen, don't be afraid, this is a human, not a demon."

The girl's face was streaked with tears as she looked up at Lei Ziyue, her voice weak and pained. "Second Senior Brother, I want to go back. I'm heartbroken, and I don't want to go on this trip anymore..."

"Senior brother will take Zhenzhen back now." Lei Ziyue said apologetically, then turned and strode away.

He didn't even glance at the small, short hand sticking out of the tattered sleeve.

The hand was covered in scars, and mud from the Demon Cave clung to its fingernails. It was small, black, and stretched out towards him, like a paw of an abandoned little beast.

Luo Zhen stood frozen in place, his hand still raised in mid-air.

She looked down at her hands. Not only her hands, but also her face, neck, and all over her body were scars upon scars, old marks pressing down on new ones.

The largest one was from when she was six years old and had just entered the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, when she was scratched by a giant demon with one claw.

She bled a lot and thought she was going to die, but she didn't. She bit the neck of a low-level monster, drank its blood, and survived.

Later, she made a back scratcher from that big demon's claw.

Unfortunately, I left in such a hurry that I forgot about it in the Demon Cave.

These are her medals; each scar is proof that she defeated a bad guy.

But the second senior brother was scared away by these scars.

No, it was the older girl's scream that scared her away.

Luo Huanzhen pulled her hand back and clenched it into a small fist... Wait, let her sort this out.

This older sister, who goes by the name "Luo Huanzhen," lives in the Xuantian Sect. She is pampered and coaxed by her second senior brother, dressed beautifully, and lives comfortably.

Moreover, the second senior brother said that after "Zhenzhen" was rescued from the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, she developed a psychological trauma towards ugly things, and her spiritual root was also damaged by the demons.

So this fake not only took over the identity of the original, but also fabricated a story of being rescued from the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, pretending to be weak, pitiful, and with a broken spiritual root, so that her senior brother would feel sorry for her!

This very being was truly treated as an ugly and frightening monster and kept outside the mountain gate.

Luo really felt like his head was about to explode with anger.

The two disciples on duty watched with concern and heartache as Senior Brother Lei Ziyue and Junior Sister Zhenzhen left.

Turning their gaze away, the two looked at Luo Zhenhuan beside them, both feeling somewhat helpless.

After all, he's only five or six years old, and I couldn't bear to speak too harshly to him.

Although the child does look scary.

"Don't be sad. Stop thinking about such delusional things. Once you join the sect, you can live a good life and won't have to wander around and suffer so much anymore."

"If I work hard on sect missions and go to the alchemy hall to make some Jade Skin Pills, I won't have to have this appearance anymore."

"It is indeed quite ugly."

"No wonder it scared my junior sister, it doesn't look good..."

One of the disciples on duty reached out, about to rub the child's messy, knotted little hair.

"Don't touch my head!"

Luo Huanzhen slapped the hand away, his expression fierce, and shouted in a childish voice, "Scars are a woman's badge of honor! I don't want to use the Jade Skin Pill! I think these scars are beautiful! Super beautiful!"

Completely charmed by her adorable yet fierce demeanor, the two laughed and asked, "So, what do you want...?"

Luo Huanzhen shouted loudly, "I, the Venerable One, wish to participate in the sect entry test!"

She wants to go in!

She wants to reclaim her identity.

Then rub that fake's face on the ground! Rub! Rub it again!

After Luo finished speaking, he resolutely turned around and walked firmly toward the test square with his short legs.
