Rebirth of the Strongest Female Emperor

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.
