Chapter 237: As You Wish

*Flashback*

**18 Years Ago**

Childhood is often defined as simplicity but it also means innocence. It's often filled with memories that one cherish for the rest of their lives. 

People could have contradicting views about Ru's childhood. Some might say it was tough on her. Others might disagree and say she had it very easy being born as the eldest of Xia clan. But for Ru, her childhood was neither easy nor tough; it was just perfect.

Back when her little pet snake - Xiao Hong - died, her grandfather sent her to Jingshen. She was under the care of Abbott Wang Xiuying as his disciple. Back then, she was only ten years old and she was left to copy hundreds of copies of scriptures.
