When Li Qiye first saw her, he—a man who had seen countless people, who had even trained Immortal Emperors—could only shake his head at Ma Gu's aptitude. Although he often believed aptitude was secondary, Ma Gu's was hopelessly poor. In fact, if you were to pick the least talented disciple from any sect, Ma Gu's aptitude would still be far, far worse.
One could even say her aptitude was nearly on par with a born simpleton. However, she wasn't an idiot; her ability to grasp concepts was just extremely poor, and her innate qualities were crude beyond measure.
But when he first saw Ma Gu, Li Qiye was moved by her eyes—eyes that thirsted for knowledge. She was a plain-looking little girl, filthy and even appearing foolish, yet she possessed eyes that thirsted for knowledge. These were the eyes that moved Li Qiye, the Yin Ya, the mentor of Immortal Emperors.
