Chapter 12 – The Si Household (1)
But now….
That emptiness was slowly replaced by another feeling; that subtle heat, the embracing warmth, it’s indeed the sensation of a sprouting spirit root!
Ye Qingtang went wide-eyed with bewilderment, as, within her body, a small sapling of a spirit root was gradually growing.
Although this spirit root sapling could not be compared with her original in terms of size, the reality of its reemergence gave her the thrills, especially so for one who had endured the turmoil of training without a spirit root.
The past Ye Qingtang spent three hundred years searching for a method to restore her spirit root for the sake of closing the gap between herself and Ye You, but all was for naught even after combing the world.
Heaven knows how precious this small sapling was to Ye Qingtang when it appeared.
“Ye You, just you wait!” Ye Qingtang felt her lower abdomen while her eyes were set ablaze with the desire for vengeance.
……….
At that same moment when Ye Qingtang’s spirit root was restored, within the Temple of Ancient Splendor, a man seated high upon the throne of the supreme suddenly opened his eyes that flashed a shade of dark teal.
“Your Highness?” Mu Su approached the man from within the Temple’s great hall as he noticed the disturbance.
The handsome man, whose allure was out of this world, raised his eyes and peered into the endless night that loomed outside the great hall, with shadows that flickered in his pupils.
“Set forth for the City of Lin.”
Mu Su faltered for a moment before saying: “Your Highness, was it ….”
The man interrupted: “The Heart of the Demon Emperor has appeared.”
He felt it, that long lost and awaited presence.
The Heart had finally shown itself….
He would, without fail, reclaim what was rightfully his!
……….
Early morning on the second day, Ye Qingtang awoke afresh and reinvigorated. The restoration of her spirit root made her heart flutter. As long as she nurtured this sapling, she would gain a valuable asset for her future battle with Ye You.
With this increase in assets, she made suitable adjustments to her plans.
The Great Elder had to be dealt with, but one must not forget that the real threat was Ye You.
Ye You, at present, had already become the disciple of the Cloud-Breaker’s sovereign. If Ye Qingtang wanted to catch up to his endeavors, the only way was to enroll herself into a similar clan. Only then will she be able to challenge Ye You as equals!
With this in mind, Ye Qingtang came up with another plan on the instant. She donned her face veil and left her room.
Although she had restored her natural appearance, she preferred not to be found out so soon.
Ye Ling, having witnessed Ye Qingtang leaving her room, approached her with concern. Seeing that she remained unaffected by the break-off in her engagement, he silently heaved a sigh of relief.
Ye Qingtang greeted Ye Ling when she saw him.
“Good morning, Father”
Ye Ling nodded briefly with eyes full of pity.
“Father, how’s the youngest master of the Si household doing?” Ye Qingtang asked abruptly.
“You mean Si Bai?” Ye Ling was slightly astounded at her sudden query.
The Si household was also one of the three major households in the City of Lin. But in contrast to the Duan household, the Si and the Ye household had been at one another’s throat ever since Si Bai’s mother passed away after childbirth, and it was later discovered to be foul play. Apparently, she was poisoned by assassins, and the Si household suspected that the Ye household was the mastermind.
If it was not for the Duan household’s support, a war might have already broke out over this long-standing feud with the Si household.
Regardless of how much time passed, the enmity between the two households persisted.
Si Bai was the third young master of the Si household, and also Old Master Si’s youngest grandson, whom he doted on the most. Si Bai was a talented prodigy, his spirit root was on par with Ye Qingtang’s original, which was of high quality. He was also revered as the City of Lin’s number one genius, but unfortunately, he had a weak constitution since birth that was mainly due to his mother being poisoned while pregnant. Though he was successfully born, he was affected by the poison in his mother’s womb.
