Ye Xing'er

Listening to her Master's reply, Bibi Dong also felt a pang of shame, cursing herself inwardly.

"How could such a kind person as your Master harbor any ill intentions towards those three?"

"He owes you a great debt; how could you doubt your Master?"

"Bibi Dong, you really should die."

…………

Watching his disciple, Bibi Dong, continue to brood, Qian Xun Ji explained helplessly.

"I'm planning to visit them in a while."

"Since you're familiar with them, why don't you accompany me on the visit?"

Hearing Qian Xun Ji's words, Bibi Dong didn't hesitate, replying readily with a cheerful tone.

"Yes, Master."

Seeing his disciple's naiveté, Qian Xun Ji suddenly felt a twinge of guilt.

That was right; Qian Xun Ji going to Forget Worries Pavilion to visit wasn't a simple matter.

He hoped to use Bibi Dong's relationship with the three siblings to try and extract some information about how they had improved their cultivation so quickly.

However, Qian Xun Ji didn't know that Bibi Dong already knew the reason for the significant changes in the three siblings at Forget Worries Pavilion; she simply hadn't mentioned it because he hadn't asked.

Meanwhile.

In a remote town, a young girl who had just turned ten years old jumped out of bed, stretching languidly.

"Ah, I've been cultivating all night."

"How many days has it been since Mr. Li and Sister Ye haven't come to pick me up? Have they forgotten about me?"

That's right, this girl was the little beggar whom Li Changsheng and Ye Han Yue had saved, and whom Li Changsheng had named Ye Xing'er.

Since Li Changsheng and Ye Han Yue left, Ye Xing'er had been diligently cultivating, first pushing past her limits in internal cultivation before focusing on movement techniques and skills.

Yesterday, Ye Xing'er had dispersed all those who had been responsible for looking after her, because today was the day for her Martial Soul Awakening.

From the moment she first saw Li Changsheng and Ye Han Yue, Ye Xing'er knew that they were important people. If her strength wasn't enough to follow them, she wouldn't even have the ability to assist them in the future, so today was an extremely important day for Ye Xing'er.

Thinking this, Ye Xing'er left her residence and headed to the Martial Soul Hall branch for her awakening.

At the Martial Soul Hall branch.

Many children stood there, their eyes filled with anticipation. For these commoners, awakening a good Martial Soul and possessing high Innate Soul Power was their only chance to change their fate.

If they didn't awaken a good Martial Soul or possess high Innate Soul Power, or if they had no Innate Soul Power at all, they would be nothing more than ordinary people in this small town for the rest of their lives.

At this moment, the official in charge of the awakenings walked in, looking at the excited children and speaking in a monotone voice.

"Alright, stop chattering."

"Today is the day you awaken your Martial Souls. I hope you all awaken a good one."

He then summoned his own Martial Soul and activated the Awakening Array, then addressed the children.

"One by one."

Hearing the official's words, the children filed forward to awaken their Martial Souls within the Awakening Array.

"Hei Zi, Martial Soul: Wooden Stick, no Innate Soul Power."

"Gou Dan, Martial Soul: Dog, Innate Soul Power Level 1."

"Li Erniang, Martial Soul: Sheep, no Innate Soul Power."

"Long Ba Tian, Martial Soul: Cleaver, Innate Soul Power Half-Level."

…………

As one child after another awakened their Martial Souls, some wore smiles, while others hung their heads in disappointment.

It was soon Ye Xing'er's turn, and she calmly stepped into the Martial Soul Awakening Array.

The awakening ritual began, but no ordinary Martial Soul Beast appeared on the diagram. She hadn't awakened a primal Martial Soul, and instead, white lightning crackled around her.

Even the official in charge of the awakening was surprised.

"What Martial Soul did she awaken?"

"It's not a primal Martial Soul, not a beast Martial Soul, not one of the Seven Treasures Martial Souls, and certainly not a plant. What is it? She's covered in lightning!"

After Ye Xing'er completed her awakening, the official approached her.

"Child, what Martial Soul did you awaken?"

In response to the official's question, Ye Xing'er replied calmly.

"Lord Soul Master, I awakened Element · Lightning."

Hearing Ye Xing'er's answer, the official was extremely puzzled, thinking to himself.

"An Element Martial Soul? What nonsense is that? I've been overseeing Martial Soul awakenings for so long, and I've never heard of an Element Martial Soul type before!"

sigh

"Oh dear, I must put on a show of recognition, can't let my reputation slip."

The official in charge of Soul Awakening here also seemed to snap back to reality, and addressed Ye Xing'er calmly.

"Oh, an Element Soul? I've read about them in books before; these Element Souls are incredibly rare, most people wouldn't even know about them."

"Alright, alright, let's test your Innate Soul Power now."

He said, then took out a Soul Power crystal ball and asked Ye Xing'er to place her hand on it.

The crystal ball burst with light, instantly illuminating the entire Awakening Hall.

The official in charge of Soul Awakening's eyes widened to an unbelievable degree, and he said, "What?! Innate Full Soul Power!"

"Innate Full Soul Power!?"

He quickly grabbed Ye Xing'er's shoulders, excitedly saying, "Child, are you willing to join the Martial Soul Hall?"

Ye Xing'er, seeing this, simply stated calmly, "I'm sorry, Official, I need to find my relatives in Tian Dou City first. They've done me a favor, and I need to repay them before joining the Martial Soul Hall."

The official, seeing this, was understanding.

"No worries, no worries. I'll write you a letter of recommendation. When you decide to join the Martial Soul Hall later, just hand this letter over, and that will be fine."

For the official, as long as he passed this news up privately, it would be enough. Waiting for Ye Xing'er to join the Martial Soul Hall and shine would be a bright future for him, a life free from worry, having been the official who awakened her Soul.

He could even cultivate a relationship with Ye Xing'er, who hadn't yet risen to prominence; it was truly a win-win situation.

Even as Ye Xing'er was leaving, the official gave her the travel fare for Tian Dou City.

After leaving the Martial Soul Hall sub-branch, Ye Xing'er took out a slip of paper.

The paper read: Little Xing'er, if we don't come back for a long time, find a place in Tian Dou City called Forget Worries Pavilion. My younger siblings are there and they will take care of you.

Lian Changsheng had this paper left by Ye Han Yue, fearing they wouldn't return for a long time, so that Ye Xing'er would have someone to look after her.

As for whether those two siblings at Forget Worries Pavilion would take good care of Ye Xing'er, that wasn't something they could promise.

If they couldn't even take care of a child, Ye Han Yue said she could let those two experience what it felt like to receive love from their older sister.
