Yes, I was my father's youngest child, so he called me by that name and decided not to have any more children after me — I already had a dozen older brothers and sisters.
To Li Yi this obviously extremely perfunctory name, I was initially rejected, compared to I prefer Begonia. But it's hard to disobey my father's orders. I can't change my mind, so I have to put up with it.
Finally, when I became an Elder, I could have my own name, so I called him Elder Begonia.
From then on, no one in or out of the sect calls me by my name anymore, and they all call me Elder transvestite.
I was satisfied.
My talent in cultivation is very good. Many people say that I'm the number one genius in the sect, but I didn't reveal this talent from the start. Before the age of thirteen, my talent was considered very ordinary, so my childhood and career as a young girl were also very ordinary.
In the first thirteen years of my life, I experienced a sad story.
This story originated from a fellow called Su Chen.
He is the eldest son of the Great Elder, three years older than me. When we tested the sect at the age of four, he revealed extraordinary talent, and was considered a chosen one among all the geniuses.
Back then, his relationship with the Great Elder was quite good. The two of them did not have as much conflict as it was now, because his father was not the Sect Leader yet, and the Great Elder was still the most likely person to become the next Sect Leader.
Thus, I often played with Su Chen.
He was good-looking, as he had been since he was little, as every girl thought, and everyone liked being with him. Su Chen also liked playing with me, because I was also very good-looking. I had been like this since I was young, and many boys thought so. Everyone liked being together with me.
Su Chen was very close to me. He even said that he would bring me to see the world flourish, to see the sun rise and set at the ends of the earth.
Before I was ten years old, I already liked Su Chen.
I was sure of it, even though I was only ten. I clearly remember what happened when I felt the sky darken and I cried very hard.
The sect would test the talents of their sect's elders three times: four, five, and ten years old, respectively. On my tenth birthday, I took the sect's trial of talent for the third time, so my evaluation was still the most ordinary.
On the afternoon of the second day, I went to play with Su Chen as usual, but he stood in front of the door with a cold expression. He told me, in a voice that made me feel unfamiliar, that I should never go look for him again, that he did not want to waste any more time with me.
I don't understand. I ask him why.
He said that a cultivator with ordinary talent was not worthy to be his friend, because in the future, he would definitely be very weak and wouldn't be of any help to him. So playing with me is a waste of time. He also said that he was thirteen years old and was about to start practicing seriously and would not have much time to play.
That day, I left his courtyard while crying.
Then I went to see him a second time, because I still had illusions.
In the end, he didn't even show up. Instead, a ferocious Flaming Dog jumped out of the yard and chased after me, biting all the way. It bit several bloody holes in my shin, and it didn't catch me until I fell into the lake.
Su Chen actually let the dog bite me!
Maybe it wasn't him, but he must have acquiesced. It made me feel sad, desperate, and resentful.
When I crawled out of the lake like a drowned chicken, I gritted my teeth and made up my mind. I will make him pay!
