Lee Hyo-joon

The first time he saw her, she was very young. No, this wasn't the case of paedophilia. Lee Hyo-joon was just... familar with the girl. She looked at him with curiosity, as if knowing him but not knowing him at the same time. For minutes, they just stared at each other, before she hid behind her grandfather's legs.

"Guyin, what do you think?" Zhang Zhaozhao rubbed the girl's head affectionately. The girl giggled and smiled at her grandfather, trying to live the big hand away as it pinched her cheeks.

He was at least nine years older than her. Much, much older than her, yet Zhang Zhaozhao claimed that he was to marry her in the future, if he caught her interest. According to her reactions towards all of this, it didn't seem like she knew what her grandfather had in store for her. Was she even old enough to know about this matter?

"I know what you are thinking Guyin, but believe me, if she knew now, I don't think that it will turn out well," Zhang Zhaozhao said, "this is why she will know after she is old enough. Whenever it is."

At that time, he didn't know that 'old enough' meant that this girl would become an entirely different person by the time he should've met her again. She should've been fused with her.more powerful twin soul. But at that time, he was still on good terms with Zhang Zhaozhao and didn't suspect a thing.

That was when he applied for a teaching job in a random school. At least the school treated the students, teachers, staff, and other miscellaneous odd jobs workers fairly. He thought that it would be a good working atmosphere and didn't think he would actually become her teacher. When he saw her coming into the room with a pile of weird items, he didn't know why but he just knew that it was her.

The girl sure had matured. Though, he took notice at her slight loneliness around her. She was absorbing Qi like it was nothing. Whatever she did, she absorbed Qi and it was like she didn't even notice that. Her body was filled with Qi but it wasn't strengthened enough to fit the huge amount of Qi absorbed.

Finally, he saw her holding her headache in.

Every class, he saw her come and go, sometimes with a few of her friends and watched as she nailed English. What piqued his interest was a booklet she kept so close to herself. Lee Hyo-joon had never seen a girl diligently bringing a booklet everywhere. One time, it fell down and when he took a glimpse of the content, he finally knew why Zhang Zhaozhao chose her, or why she was filled with Qi, or he thought.

Little bits from novels were written on the booklet. It was tidbits of cultivation manuals that were written in the novel. The tidbits were only little things compared to the full manual but the most important thing was, she mastered the tidbits so quickly.

At that time, he didn't know about her 98% spiritual affinity from birth, so he thought that she was a genius. However, even with all the informations piling up, he still could make out the fact that Zhang Zhaozhao was making a vessel out of his own granddaughter. It was absurd! As absurd as it sounded, Zhang Zhaozhao was dead serious on doing it.

Day by day, he saw her acting all happy and kind of lonely with amazement. He slowly felt bad not really caring for her when he first met her. But he did kind of... go abroad to study so even if he wanted to keep watch on the girl, he wasn't able to. The Lee family might be influential but they certainly didn't spoil him.

He felt awful when she fell into a coma. Several days, just seeing her in a corpse like state...He didn't know how a lot of people could cope by just not seeing her. For days, he just sat beside her bed, wishing for her to wake up. Just seeing her open her eyes would be fine. Even if she forgot everything, even if she became someone entirely different, he would accept it all.

That was when he found out the purpose of putting her into a coma was to change her to someone entirely different that would remember her past but it wouldn't be her. That was the time when he realized how vile her grandfather was all this time. He believed Zhang Zhaozhao, he revered the old man b it the old man didn't care that his granddaughter would never be the same granddaughter as before again.

When he saw her eyes open, he desperately prayed that she would be the same person again.

Everything seemed so brilliant when she smiled weakly and said, "hello, Mr. Lee." Very very familiarly.
