After the birthday celebration, the news of what happened in the Ye family spread throughout Lin Town quickly.
Ye Qingtang went to the Si residence the next morning to thank Master Si for inviting Mu Su.
"Quite a lot happened in the Ye residence yesterday. That Great Elder got what he deserved," Master Si said as he sat on a chair.
Ye Qingtang smiled.
"I heard you persuaded Lord Mu Su to recommend you to participate in Xuanling Sect's entrance assessment yesterday?" asked Master Si as he harked back to the subject.
"Yes," Ye Qingtang answered with no intention to hide anything.
A worried expression appeared on Master Si's face.
"It is good that you've set your mind to enter a sect. I know that you've suffered all sorts of humiliation in the Ye family, but it is difficult to enter a sect. If you cannot pass the assessment, I'm afraid you'll lose your only chance. You've just started out, so jumping straight into participating in the assessment will rather be a strain." Master Si paused for a moment and continued sincerely. "Si Ye and Si Qiong are cultivating outside with their masters and will only participate in the sect assessment a few years later. Si Bai's spirit root is the best, and I originally wanted him to enter a sect, but his body is weak. Now that he can be properly nursed back to health, I can also be at ease."
"Now that the Great Elder has lost his authority and both your father and the Second Elder are back in power, why don't you wait another year? In this year, you can train together with my third grandson. I will discuss with your father and invite a famous master to teach the two of you in the Si residence. When heading for a sect in the next year, you will also be more confident," said Master Si.
Every word that Master Si said was in consideration for Ye Qingtang and was said painstakingly.
Ye Qingtang's nose turned sour as she listened, but ultimately, she still shook her head coolly at Master Si.
"Grandfather Si, I cannot wait so long. Rest assured, I'll not do anything that I have no confidence in."
"This child just doesn't listen to persuasions." Master Si was really worried for Ye Qingtang.
"I know that Ye You has already entered Yunxiao Sect and is a direct disciple of the sect master. With your spirit root, her might will be redoubled. I understand your heart to seek revenge, but if you're too hasty, it won't work out. Where there is life, there is hope. You must understand this."
"I know grandfather Si's good intentions. Just trust me this once, grandfather Si." Ye Qingtang looked up at Master Si.
"You…" Master Si wanted to persuade her again.
However, Si Bai, who was sitting at the side, suddenly said something.
"Grandfather, don't worry already. When has Tang Tang disappointed you? Since she wants to head to Xuanling Sect, she must have something in hand."
Master Si glared at his grandson.
Si Bai was at a loss whether to cry or laugh as he touched the tip of his nose. He kept feeling that ever since his grandfather accepted Ye Qingtang, his position in his grandfather's heart kept falling.
"You only know to follow what she says. You're still young, what do you know?" Master Si said grumpily and then looked at Ye Qingtang. "If you're bent on going, I will not stop you. At most, I'll talk to Lord Mu Su again in the next year. However, you must remember one thing."
"Please say, grandfather Si."
"Before you compete with Ye You, you must not let others know that she stole your spirit root," Master Si said sternly.
Ye Qingtang was slightly taken aback but replied immediately, "Qingtang understands."
Up until then, she still had not told her father and second uncle that her spirit root was stolen because she was afraid that they would be overly worried for her.
"It's good that you understand. Ye You is now a disciple of Yunxiao Sect Sec Master. Even if you revealed her scheme to others, Yunxiao Sect's Sect Master will suppress this matter to save face. Furthermore, once this enters their ears, Yunxiao Sect will definitely get rid of you to avoid trouble later on in protection of their reputation," Master Si said concernedly.
Even though Ye You stole Ye Qingtang's spirit root, she has already entered Yunxiao Sect and Yunxiao Sect would only get rid of Ye Qingtang in order to protect their reputation.
"Qingtang will always remember grandfather Si's warnings," Ye Qingtang thanked Master Si from the bottom of her heart. Other than her father and second uncle, no one else would think for her so thoroughly like this.
"Luckily, you also have a new spirit root now. I won't ask how this spirit root of yours came about, but you must treasure it. This is a chance given to you by God. The sect assessment is as difficult as climbing up to the sky. Fortunately, there's still some time, and you must make full use of this time to finish preparations. It's good that your father is in control of the Ye family now, and you'll not be short of anything," Master Si said.
Ye Qingtang nodded silently. No words could fully express her feelings.
Master Si only let go of the matter after talking to Ye Qingtang for a while more. Before Ye Qingtang left, he still specially had Si Ye to prepare many tonics for Ye Qingtang to bring back, although he knew that Ye Ling would not treat his daughter shabbily. He said it was to nourish her body after the debility from having her spirit root dug out.
Ye Qingtang could only accept it and store the Si family's kindness in her heart.
After leaving the Si residence, Ye Qingtang headed to the Pavilion of Treasures to meet its manager.
After knowing that her spirit root can be grown, she had an even more urgent need for the Floating Pagoda.
Before she entered Xuanling Sect and obtained the Black Heaven Water, the Floating Pagoda was the best choice for her to nourish her spirit root.
"Lady Ye," the Pavilion of Treasures' manager greeted with a grin once he saw Ye Qingtang.
"Is there any update on the Floating Pagoda that I told you about the other time?" Ye Qingtang asked with a smile
The manager looked at Ye Qingtang with complicated eyes. Previously, Ye Qingtang had a huge appetite and wanted to monopolize all the Floating Pagodas in the Pavilion of Treasures under her. This act caught the manager's attention: if there were no special effects, would Ye Qingtang be crazy to want so many Floating Pagodas?
He specially ordered people to repeatedly investigate any potential uses of the Floating Pagoda and had not agreed to Ye Qingtang's suggestion for fear that he would accidentally sell off something precious.
But many days passed, and despite flipping through a room of books and asking other managers from the Pavilion of Treasures, he still could not find out what the Floating Pagoda could be used for. It was still of little value.
"Lady Ye, regarding the matter that you suggested previously, I have already notified the managers of the other branches, and they agreed to supply you with the Floating Pagodas." The manager could only agree since he could not find out any uses of the Floating Pagoda and that Ye Qingtang seemed to have relations with his pavilion master.
Anyway, the Floating Pagodas had been piling up in the Pavilion of Treasures, and no one asked anything about it. With Ye Qingtang helping to sweep them off the shelves, it was also a great help to them.
"That's good." Ye Qingtang smiled satisfyingly. She knew that the manager definitely investigated the uses of the Floating Pagoda, but no matter how he checked, there was no one who would find out the real use of the Floating Pagoda within these few years.
Ye Qingtang directly took out twenty thousand gold from her space ring and handed it to the manager, telling him to deduct all future payments for the Floating Pagoda from there and that she will pay the rest if it was used up. Ever since the Great Elder was fired, the authority over the Ye family returned back to Ye Ling once again, and Ye Qingtang had much easier access to the funds.
The manager naturally accepted it grinningly.
After confirming her supply of Floating Pagodas, Ye Qingtang picked quite a few low-grade spirit stones from the Pavilion of Treasures and fed them to the little lightning dragon when she returned to the Ye residence.
The little lightning dragon barely came to after sleeping for an entire day and night. The dragon species were precious. While it would be extremely effective if normal spirit animals were fed with spirit stones, these spirit stones were merely snacks for the little lightning dragon.
