Inside an arena surrounded by hundreds of spectating fellow disciples from the same sect, one fifteen-year-old, Yue Dongmei faced a young man in his teens that was merely a few years older than her.

That young man was one of the most exceptional outer court disciples of the sect. Many thought he would be able to become an inner court disciple anytime soon if he just took an advancement exam which he had yet to do so. With that in mind, the crowd thought that the victor of the match would surely be none other than him.

Yue Dongmei frowned when she noticed the look on the young man's eyes. Anyone who wasn't blind could plainly see the lustful look that the young man was directing at her. Seeing that made her sick and disgusted. There was nothing she hated more than people who viewed her as a piece of flesh for their own pleasure.

The young man licked his lips when he saw Yue Dongmei's expression.

He liked that.

It was boring to sleep with an easy girl. They couldn't give him enough satisfaction. He wanted a challenge and he believed that Yue Dongmei could give him that.

"Are both sides ready?" the person in the middle who served as their match's referee asked.

Both Yue Dongmei and the young man nodded.

"Begin!" the referee said before getting away from their way.

The moment the referee uttered that word, the young man immediately ran towards Yue Dongmei.

"Haha, you're mine!"

...

"Do you concede?" Yue Dongmei coldly asked as she looked down at the young man who was on the ground, looking up at her.

The young man glared at her. He was bitter and angry for being beaten by the woman in front of him. It was humiliating especially since everyone in that place expected him to win, yet, he was actually beaten easily by his opponent.

Yue Dongmei narrowed her eyes. An ice spear appeared on her hand and threw it towards the young man's crotch.

"Ahhh!"

The young man almost pissed his pants when the ice spear hit the floor in front of him. Only a few centimeters more and it would certainly hit his crotch without a doubt.

"Do you concede?" she asked once again.

"I-I concede," the young man said, finally giving up. He didn't remain stubborn any longer for he might lose something important to him if he continued doing so.

"Winner: Yue Dongmei!" the referee announced after the young man conceded.

Outside the arena, most of the outer court disciples were surprised to see the results not going as they had expected. They didn't expect that the woman in front of them was not only beautiful but was also really strong.

After being declared the winner, Yue Dongmei looked towards the audience. Then, she noticed a woman walking away from the crowd. Though there were many people there, she easily spotted that woman because of her otherworldly beauty. As a woman herself, even she couldn't help but be captivated by her beauty.

Such a woman would've easily gathered everyone's attention to her but because the woman was at the back, and the people's attention was on the arena, only Yue Dongmei noticed the woman.

That was the first time Yue Dongmei saw Yun Xia's mother.

...

Several months after that, Yue Dongmei was summoned by the sect master himself.

In the past several months, she had been promoted as an inner court disciple. She had become known as a young genius on the rise in the sect and many believed she would become a core disciple after a few years. Many people were keeping an eye on her, including the people with high positions in the sect, that was why although Yue Dongmei found it strange that the sect master summoned her, she wasn't totally surprised.

What was surprising, however, was the presence of someone else inside the office other than the sect master himself.

It was the sect master's daughter.

Nearly everyone in the sect knows that the sect master's daughter was a busy person. In a year, she would only stay inside the sect for a few days before leaving once again. As for what she was busy with, they didn't know. Only the sect master and the person in question itself knows.

"Inner Court Disciple Yue Dongmei, I'm sure you must have questions on why I called you here," the sect master said with an emotionless look on his face.

"Yes, Sect Master," Yue Dongmei responded as she lowered her gaze.

"The reason is simple. My daughter needs an aide to assist her with her daily needs and of course, some important tasks as well."

Yue Dongmei unconsciously raised her head in surprise when she heard that. She looked at the sect master's daughter only to see her beautiful face having no emotions on it.

"I actually have other people in mind for this position, however, she chose you herself. Since the two of you will be working closely together, it is imperative that I let her choose of her own free will who her aide will be," the sect master said. "This isn't an order but a request. You can either accept or refuse, it's all up to you. Will you become my daughter's aide or not?"

Yue Dongmei was silent for a moment.

"I will."
