Half a month has passed in Lingxian Palace. Ye Qinghan feels as if a lifetime has passed. It has been too long!
She hasn't recharged in ages! She absolutely must ask her master for help this time!
Thinking this, he lightly flicked the jade pendant, and the Lingxian Palace appeared before him. Ye Qinghan stepped into the courtyard with practiced ease.
Now, the entire mountain belongs to her, and she has even arranged houses for Elder Yu Lan's family, although they are still under construction.
"Master! Qinghan is back!"
Su Cheng also came upon hearing the commotion, and upon seeing Ye Qinghan dressed in imperial robes, he was somewhat dazed.
It's only been half a month, but it feels like the child has grown up!
Ye Qinghan almost burst into tears. It was as if they had been reunited after thousands of years. Ye Qinghan opened his arms, thinking of giving his master a big bear hug!
It's been so long since we last met, shouldn't we make it up to our eldest disciple?
"Wow! Senior Sister! Shiyao missed you so much!"
Seeing her senior sister open her arms, Li Shiyao also instantly appeared, getting ahead of Su Cheng, and snuggled into her senior sister's arms!
"Uh... Senior sister... misses you too..."
Ye Qinghan smiled wryly, then remembered: "Shiyao, your senior sister brought you some delicious food, Shiyao, go get it quickly!"
Wow! Thank you, senior sister!
After saying that, Li Shiyao rushed towards the gate!
"Master! Qinghan misses Master!"
Like a mother who had just comforted her child, Ye Qinghan leaped into Su Cheng's arms and clung tightly to her master!
"Good boy~ I'm going to make something delicious for Qinghan today!"
"Thank you, Master! But let Qinghan hug you for a while first, Qinghan really misses you so much~"
Su Cheng smiled indulgently and ruffled the fox's head.
[Qinghan seems to have more of a demon emperor's aura now, but she still seems to be that clingy little fox~]
Ye Qinghan thought to himself, "Doesn't Master quite like clingy little foxes?"
"Qinghan has been separated from Master for more than half a month, and has been thinking of Master every moment. Qinghan still wants to stay by Master's side~"
After following his master back to the main hall and sitting down, Ye Qinghan took out the little gift he had "bought" for his master and tentatively opened his mouth to see his master's reaction.
"Master, Qinghan has recently heard some things about Shiyao."
Opening the exquisite gift box wrapped in red cloth reveals a brush washer that looks quite valuable.
Su Cheng frowned slightly, realizing something was wrong!
Could it be that Qinghan heard about me sleeping with Shiyao?
Ye Qinghan frowned slightly, realizing something was wrong!
Shi Yao dared to climb into her master's bed while she was away!
[Innocent! I didn't lay a finger on Shiyao, I sat obediently in the courtyard all night!]
"About Shiyao?"
Ye Qinghan's eyebrows relaxed, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that with her master's unwavering character, if it were so easy, she wouldn't have been able to endure it until today.
Besides, Li Shiyao probably doesn't even know what it means to sleep with a man.
"Yes, I heard that my junior sister has a blood relative, her biological sister."
So that's how it is. Looks like those guys are getting restless.
As Ye Qinghan's eyes darted around, he made a guess based on what his master was thinking!
This younger sister is most likely in trouble!
However, judging from Shi Yao's appearance, she probably doesn't know that she has a blood relative.
"Yes, Shiyao's blood relative is indeed still alive, but Shiyao has never met this younger sister."
Ye Qinghan was somewhat surprised: "It's actually true? Why?"
Su Cheng seemed hesitant about whether to speak or not, as if he was struggling with whether he should speak or not.
Despite being a saintly maiden, Shi Yao's fate was mostly unfortunate.
"After thinking about it, I think it won't hurt to tell you. Shiyao will eventually have to get through this."
"Shiyao is the Holy Maiden of the Holy Mountain, I don't need to say more, Qinghan must already know that..."
Su Cheng briefly introduced Li Shiyao's background. As she knew, the Holy Maiden of the Holy Mountain was not an outstanding woman chosen by the crowd.
A saint could be born into any family, perhaps as the child of an elder, or perhaps as the illegitimate daughter of some scoundrel.
Li Shiyao was born into a fishing family. Her father fished, and her mother either chopped firewood or worked for wealthy families. Their life was not exactly poor, but they were just getting by.
Li Shiyao and her younger sister Li Suyao were born at the same time, but Li Shiyao's shortcomings are obvious compared to her clever and quick-witted sister...
Li Shiyao is disabled. In the eyes of ordinary people, or rather, in the eyes of most people, she is a fool, someone with intellectual disabilities.
This kind of defect is incurable.
Under the power of immortal magic, such defects would be impossible to hide. Even though Li Shiyao had not yet learned to speak or walk, she had already been classified as a fool, a piece of trash, and not worth nurturing.
If she only had one daughter, Li Shiyao might have received better treatment.
But Li Shiyao's parents also have another daughter named Li Suyao.
Although both the palm and the back of the hand are fleshy, the palm always looks fleshier than the back of the hand.
Having given birth to two daughters made Li Shiyao's mother feel ashamed in the village.
Moreover, there's Li Shiyao, who's been deemed mentally challenged, so you can imagine what her father's attitude was like.
In the entire family, only Li Shiyao's mother still cared about the existence of Li Shiyao, this burden. Everyone else ignored Li Shiyao and showed disgust when she was mentioned.
This disgust naturally extended to Li Shiyao's mother, with countless people advising her to abandon the child.
But after all, they are one's own flesh and blood. Even the most hard-hearted person cannot bring themselves to do that.
