"At someone's request..."
After a long silence, Xiao Yan slowly spoke.
"Who? What family could possibly have the clout to invite an elder of the Little Pill Tower and the master of Taiqing Gate to back them up?" Cao Ying asked incredulously.
"The Ye Family. Ye Xinlan."
Xiao Yan spoke.
"When we were both at Jia Nan Academy, she asked me to help the Ye Family out of its predicament and promised that the Ye Family would help Taiqing Gate."
"How could a fallen family like the Ye Family be qualified to promise that?" Cao Ying paused, then suddenly remembered that Xiao Yan had also come from the Northwest Region back then. At the time, Taiqing Gate had yet to expand beyond the Northwest and was still tucked away in that remote land. The Ye Family had indeed been qualified to enter a mutual assistance agreement with Taiqing Gate then.
"What a pity..."
Cao Ying sighed softly. "Had I known, I should have gone to Jia Nan Academy too. Father brought it up back then, but I turned him down."
With a man, meeting him at different stages of his life meant encountering different circumstances.
The younger and less experienced he was when you met him, the more weight you would carry in his heart.
She had missed out on quite a bit, letting Ye Xinlan reap the benefits instead. "Then could you teach me the Pill Slave Method? Junior Martial Uncle Xiao Yan, I want to learn~"
Quick-witted and mischievous, Cao Ying soon sidled up to him, caught his sleeve in her delicate hand, and gave it a pitiful little tug as she wheedled.
"Hmph. Have you no shame?"
Xiao Yi Xian folded her arms across her chest, glanced coolly at Cao Ying with her lovely eyes, and snorted.
