Lü Shan saw everything in her mind and felt anxious in her heart, until she finally could not help saying: "Master, right now there is turmoil among the people in the market, and everyone wants to run over to work for those two demonic True Persons so they can grab a share of the profits. If you still do not do something about it, there will be fewer and fewer people left in the market."
She was an orphan. From the time she could remember, she had drifted about the streets, and no one had ever taught her cultivation; she could be considered of the very lowest stratum of society. Until one day, she bumped into her master on the street. It was something she had done on purpose. She simply could not endure the days of constant fear and trembling any longer, so she thought of finding some decent family to sell herself to. She had washed her face with special care and chosen her target.
When she crashed into her master, she raised her head, revealing that thin face of hers as she tried her hardest to force out a careful, ingratiating smile—and then she heard the warmest words in all the world. Her master said her eyes were very beautiful, much like those of an old friend of his, and then he took her to a small street stall to eat her fill. She knew she had met a kind-hearted person, and disregarding everything else, she clung tightly behind her master's back, thinking that even if she were beaten or scolded, she would never let go.
