Ye Xing'er

Hearing Bibi Dong's reply to her teacher, she also felt ashamed and cursed herself inwardly.

"How could someone as kind as my teacher possibly harbor ill intentions toward those three?"

"My teacher has shown you great kindness. How could you doubt her?"

"Bibi Dong, you really deserve to die."

Seeing his disciple Bibi Dong lower her head and fall into another reverie, Qian Xun Ji helplessly explained,

"After some time, I plan to pay them a visit."

"Since you're familiar with them, come with me to visit them."

Hearing her teacher Qian Xun Ji's words, Bibi Dong answered happily without even thinking.

"Yes, Teacher."

Seeing how innocent his disciple was, Qian Xun Ji suddenly felt somewhat guilty.

That was right. Qian Xun Ji's personal visit to Forget Worries Pavilion was not as simple as it seemed.

Qian Xun Ji wanted to use Bibi Dong's relationship with the three siblings to see whether he could draw out the reason behind their rapid cultivation.

He just had not expected that Bibi Dong already knew the reason behind the tremendous changes in the three siblings from Forget Worries Pavilion. She simply had not mentioned it because her teacher had not asked.

At the same time.

In a distant town, a girl who had just turned six jumped down from her bed and stretched.

"Ah, I cultivated all night."

"How many days has it been? Why haven't Mister and Sister come back for me yet? They couldn't have forgotten me, could they?"

That was right. This girl was the little beggar whom Li Changsheng and Ye Han Yue had saved back then. Li Changsheng had named her Ye Xing'er.

After Li Changsheng and Ye Han Yue left, Ye Xing'er began cultivating tirelessly. Once she could no longer cultivate her inner power, she started cultivating movement techniques and skills.

Yesterday, Ye Xing'er dismissed everyone whom Li Changsheng had left behind to take care of her, because today was the day she would awaken her martial soul.

From the moment Ye Xing'er saw Li Changsheng and Ye Han Yue, she knew that they were both people who would accomplish great things. If her strength was insufficient, she would not even be capable of following them, let alone helping them in the future. Thus, today was an extremely important day for Ye Xing'er.

Thinking of this, Ye Xing'er left her residence and headed to the Spirit Hall branch to awaken her martial soul.

Inside the Spirit Hall branch.

Many children stood there. Their eyes were filled with light. For commoners like them, only awakening a good martial soul and possessing high Innate Soul Power could give them a chance to change their fate.

If they failed to awaken a good martial soul or high Innate Soul Power—or did not possess Innate Soul Power at all—then they could only remain in this little town their entire lives as ordinary mortals.

At that moment, the administrator in charge of martial soul awakenings walked in. He glanced at the excited children and said expressionlessly,

"All right, stop discussing it."

"Today is the day you awaken your martial souls. I hope you can awaken a good martial soul."

After saying this, the administrator summoned his martial soul and took out the tool used to activate the Awakening Array. Then he said to the children before him,

"Come one at a time."

Hearing the administrator's words, the children entered the Awakening Array one by one to awaken their martial souls.

"Heizi, martial soul: wooden club. No Innate Soul Power."

"Goudan, martial soul: dog. Innate Soul Power: rank one."

"Li Erya, martial soul: sheep. No Innate Soul Power."

"Long Batian, martial soul: kitchen knife. Innate Soul Power: half a rank."

As the children awakened their martial souls one after another, some wore smiles while others hung their heads dejectedly.

Soon, it was Ye Xing'er's turn. She calmly walked into the Awakening Array.

The martial soul awakening ceremony began. No weapon or beast martial soul appeared above Ye Xing'er, nor did she awaken a Body Martial Soul. Instead, white lightning flickered around her body.

Even the administrator responsible for the awakening was utterly astonished.

"What kind of martial soul is this?"

"It's not a Body Martial Soul, not a beast martial soul, not one of the Seven Martial Souls, and not a plant martial soul. What exactly did she awaken? Her whole body is flashing with lightning."

After Ye Xing'er finished awakening her martial soul, the administrator responsible for the ceremony walked up to her.

"Child, what kind of martial soul did you awaken?"

Facing the administrator's question, Ye Xing'er remained exceptionally calm.

"Replying to you, Lord Soul Master, I awakened Element · Lightning."

Hearing Ye Xing'er's answer, the administrator was also extremely confused and thought inwardly,

"An elemental martial soul? What kind of nonsense is that? I've been responsible for awakening martial souls for so many years. When did an elemental martial soul appear among the martial soul types?"

"No, this won't do. I have to pretend I know it. I can't lose face."

The administrator responsible for awakening martial souls quickly recovered and calmly said to Ye Xing'er,

"Oh, so it's an elemental martial soul. I once read about it in a book. Elemental martial souls are extremely rare, and ordinary people really wouldn't know about them."

"All right, all right. Now let's test your Innate Soul Power."

After saying this, the administrator took out a Soul Power crystal ball and had Ye Xing'er place her hand on it.

The crystal ball suddenly blazed with light, illuminating the entire awakening hall in the blink of an eye.

The administrator responsible for awakening martial souls widened his eyes and said incredulously,

"I-Innate Full Soul Power!"

"It's actually Innate Full Soul Power!"

After saying this, the administrator hurriedly grabbed Ye Xing'er by the shoulders and said excitedly,

"Child, would you be willing to join Spirit Hall?"

Seeing this, Ye Xing'er merely said calmly, "I'm sorry, Administrator. I have to go to Heaven Dou City to find my relatives first. They have shown me great kindness. After I repay them, I'll go to Spirit Hall."

Seeing this, the administrator proved quite understanding.

"It's fine, it's fine. I'll write you a letter of recommendation. When you want to go to Spirit Hall in the future, just submit this letter."

As far as the administrator was concerned, he only needed to privately report this news to his superiors. Once Ye Xing'er joined Spirit Hall and revealed her talent, his future would be bright and he would have nothing to worry about as the administrator who had conducted her awakening.

He could even build a good relationship with Ye Xing'er before she rose to prominence. It was truly killing two birds with one stone.

Before Ye Xing'er left, the administrator responsible for awakening martial souls even gave her travel expenses for the journey to Heaven Dou City.

After leaving the Spirit Hall branch, Ye Xing'er took out a slip of paper.

It read: Little Xing'er, if we don't return for a long time, go to Heaven Dou City and look for a place called Forget Worries Pavilion. My younger siblings are there, and they will take care of you.

Li Changsheng had been afraid that they would be unable to return for a long time, so he had asked Ye Han Yue to deliberately leave this note behind.

This would ensure that Ye Xing'er had someone to take care of her. As for whether those two siblings at Forget Worries Pavilion would take care of Ye Xing'er, that was not up to them to decide.

If they could not even take care of a child properly, Ye Han Yue said she could let those two fellows experience what sisterly love felt like.
