70 - Does She Know? (1)
Inside the Li Clan’s main residence...
Protector Li Xiao Yang was enjoying afternoon tea in leisure. The white-robed Ye Sect official looked immaculate at this moment, like an amicable scholar, as if he wasn’t terrorized by a certain little girl the day before.
As he had been busy entertaining important guests since the arrival of the representatives from the Imperial Capital, and even more guests were arriving today to attend the welcoming banquet, the petty protector had taken a short break to watch the koi fishes he had been carefully raising inside his manor.
He was also waiting for something that was making him smile from time to time in anticipation.
Li Xiao Yang was in s
71 - Does She Know? (2)“Protector Li.” Ye Hua cupped his hand without showing much emotion on his face. “Let us talk on the way.”Ye Hua turned without waiting and headed towards the peak owned by the Third Elder. His cold attitude made Li Xiao Yang irritated, but he knew today was not the time to nitpick on this young disciple who was known for being a man of few words.However, Ye Hua remained polite the whole time as he gave them a brief rundown of the incident.Ye Hua had no choice. He knew how powerful the Li Clan is, and although he hadn’t heard the entire story, Ye Mo had already told him that Little Yin was involved. Just to be safe, he had to personally observe how the Li Clan would react to the situation and report everything
72 - First Step (1)Inside an ordinary room within the Alchemy Hall, a certain young outer sect disciple was sleeping soundly. It was no other than the unconscious ten-year-old boy found alongside the Second Elder Li Yun Tian, and as the only person who had knowledge about what happened to the Second Elder, the boy was being guarded by numerous Foundation Spirit Realm cultivators.Beside his sleeping figure, checking on him, was the Head Disciple of the Alchemy Hall and the first disciple of Old Woman Xia. He was also a senior brother to Ye Hua.The Second Young Master of the Ye Clan, Ye Muran.Accompanying him was a middle-aged man called Hu Ring, who was the leader of the three deacons in charge of managing affairs of Ye Sect’s outer disciples.
73 - First Step (2)“Boss?! How can you be my brother’s boss?” Li Mao yelled, but he was forcibly pulled back by his uncle, Li Kong, who signalled him to shut up.Li Kong could only mumble an apology towards the Tenth Elder and the little girl. “Please forgive my nephew! He’s just a kid! Boy, are you not going to apologize?”However, as the uncle and nephew duo played their act, Ye Muran found himself amused.Boss?Ye Muran eyed the peculiar chubby little girl who entered the room without regard for the people inside. Normal disciples of the Ye Sect would be reprimanded for this; after all, there were several high-ranking people inside the room and she simply sauntered towards the patient as
74 - Was Changing Status a Fad Nowadays?‘Your Highness?!’Ye Muran was floored as he saw the pretty boy approach with a subservient expression. It had been the rage of the talk all over the city that people from the capital had come visit Ye Sect, but due to the sensitivity of the identity of the Qin Clan members, the public only knew that it was Her Highness Qin Chuntao, the Purple Plume General, who had arrived as representative of the imperial family. Only a select few of people within Ye Sect knew the true identity of ‘Young Master Qin’ who had joined the envoy group.However, the names of the descendants of the direct line of the Qin Imperial Family was known by any educated fellow who lived inside the Qing Blessed Lands.‘Qing Wu You’
75 - Serious Considerations of the Big and the Little Boss“Tenth Elder went to see that outer sect disciple?”After his disciple’s report, Patriarch Ye Wuqing left the room where the Second Elder Li Yun Tian was currently staying and was escorted to the place where Ye Zhihao was being treated.There was a banquet tonight where all the forces inside the Leaf City were invited, and many guests had already entered the Ye Sect. This meant that the uproar caused by the appearance of the high-ranking illusionary array had spread to the representatives staying inside the sect, despite the Ye Sect disciples’ attempts to block the news.Just a week ago, the Leaf City had been harassed by suspected cultivators from the Demonic Faction, and then two days ago, that
76 - A Fire at the City Gates is also a Disaster to the Fish in the PondBy the time Patriarch Ye Wuqing and his disciples entered the room assigned to the outer sect disciple found in the forest along with the Second Elder, they found no one but the young physician, Ye Muran, inside.Ye Muran looked lost in thought, staring at the now empty bed. If not for the footsteps of the newcomers, he would not be able to snap out of the daze he was in.The young physician immediately paid his respects upon their arrival. “Disciple Ye Muran greets the Patriarch.”Ye Wuqing naturally recognized the First Disciple of Old Woman Xia. “Muran, where is the boy? Is he already awake? I came here because I heard that Ye Mo is here, but it seems like I missed them. Did he ta
77 - If You Were Truly From This World After Ye Mo asked a servant to bring in freshly brewed tea and some treats for the little glutton and they were left alone inside the open area of his courtyard, he realized that Yin faced him with an expression he had never seen before. There was no mischief, nor a hint of childishness, and there was none of her usual arrogance or disdain. She did not even look like she’s pretending to be an adult, or she was faking seriousness. Aloof and cold, calculating even. It was an expression that should not belong to a four or five-year-old girl. No, it was not even a kind of face that a human should be making. Ye Mo could not mistake it; the kind of temperament she was giving off right now was so
78 - Fighting poison with poison“...if you were truly from this world.”Seeing her expression unchanged, Ye Mo continued with a solemn tone, “But what does that have got to do with the incident involving the Second Elder?”“Fighting poison with poison (1),” Little Yin responded as she continued to rub the rim of her teacup. The freshly brewed tea continued to emit waves of heat on the tip of her finger. “That old man… is an enemy, and he got exactly what he deserved.”Although this was Yin's first time reincarnating in the mortal realm, she was not someone unfamiliar with human nature. She found it curious, and she might not be willing to play along at times; but from the countless years she spent watching them and hearing
