Nothing happened that night. In the morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the cracks in the window. Ye Sisi's long eyelashes fluttered slightly. She exhaled a breath of stale air, stretched, jumped off the soft bed, and gave herself a cleansing spell.
She walked to the dressing table and looked at herself in the bronze mirror. Although she had only been cultivating for less than two months, the changes were already quite significant. Her once thin cheeks had become fuller, and her complexion was fair and rosy. Combined with her delicate features, she looked even more stunning.
Her emerald-like eyes were especially beautiful in the sunlight. She looked down at the rouge and powder on the dressing table, thought for a moment, and then shook her head. With her terrible makeup skills, she didn't want to ruin this perfect face.
She was admiring her own stunning beauty when there was a knock on the door.
She quickly ran to open the door and saw Su Jiuli standing there smiling at her. "Patriarch Su sent someone to deliver breakfast. Go and have some now that you're awake!"
Ye Sisi nodded. Seeing that Su Jiuli's expression was normal, she put yesterday's embarrassment behind her and ate a hearty breakfast. She originally wanted to go and chat with Su Mianmian and the others, but Su Jiuli wouldn't allow it.
He then said sternly, "Junior Sister, although I promised to take you out to play for ten days, you can't always be idle. You've already played all day yesterday, so today I'll guide you in practicing your cultivation techniques in the courtyard!"
Ye Sisi sighed and began to cultivate diligently. She always felt that her senior brother was preventing her from meeting Su Qian, but she had no evidence.
"Hmm, not bad, you've already reached the basics. However, you take too long to form hand seals. You'll be considered a master when you can instantly cast those hand seals!"
Although it was also cultivation, the senior brother was much gentler than the devilish master, so Ye Sisi had a pleasant day.
She was having a good time, but Su Qian next door wasn't so happy.
Not only was he whipped, but he was also confined to his quarters for a year. It is said that the head of the Su family was even arranging to find him a wife.
If time could be reversed, Su Qian would definitely keep his mouth shut and would never say a word out of turn. Su Wanwan and Su Mianmian, who escaped a disaster, also stayed obediently in their courtyard for a whole day.
Su Jiuli, on the other hand, was quite busy. He first spent the morning teaching Ye Sisi magic techniques, then went to investigate the Su family's business association, and finally successfully reached a cooperation agreement with the Su family to sell magic artifacts.
The Su family provides the refined low-grade magic artifacts, and Su Jiuli is responsible for finding someone to inscribe the formations. The Su family will be fully responsible for all magic artifacts whose grade has been improved, with the profits split 40/60: the Su family gets 40% and Su Jiuli gets 60%.
After learning that her senior brother had done something so big, Ye Sisi couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. No wonder he was so rich; his money-making speed was amazing.
Su Jiuli smiled and handed over a storage bag, saying, "Here, these are the spirit stones you exchanged for those demonic beasts and spirit herbs. Keep them safe!"
Ye Sisi happily accepted it. After all, it was the first money she had ever earned properly, so it was quite a memorable gift. Although it couldn't compare to the gift Su Jiuli had given her, every little bit counted!
Just when she thought the day was going to pass peacefully, the Su family welcomed a group of guests!
The Nine-Flower Immortal from the Blue Flower Heavenly Palace personally paid a visit. The Su family head was flustered as he went to greet this uninvited guest while also sending someone to invite Su Jiuli and his companion.
"Junior Sister, you don't have to go if you don't want to!"
Ye Sisi's big eyes sparkled: "I want to go, I want to go!"
Just kidding, how could she not join in the fun at such an interesting event?
Su Jiuli didn't stop her and led her towards the main hall of the Su family.
When they arrived, there were already several people sitting in the hall. Apart from the head of the Su family and the Su family's maids who were in charge of serving tea, the remaining four people were from Lanhua Heavenly Palace!
Ye Sisi recognized three of them, though she could hardly call them acquaintances: the head of the Liu family, Ning Fan, and that somewhat noisy little girl she had met yesterday.
However, the person sitting in the main seat was not Su Bo, but a middle-aged man with half-gray hair, whose arrogant demeanor made it seem as if this was his own home.
Ye Sisi felt annoyed immediately. Didn't they understand basic respect?
Su Jiuli still had a smile on her lips. She first bowed to Su Bo before bowing to the head of the table, Jiu Hua Zhenren.
Su Bo was so excited that his face turned red, and the anger he had been holding in dissipated a lot. Ye Sisi also followed Su Jiuli's actions, first greeting the Su family head, and then bowing to Master Jiuhua.
Her senior brother was truly amazing; he slapped her face silently and even earned a wave of gratitude from the Su family.
As Ye Sisi expected, the Jiu Hua Zhenren at the head of the table had a gloomy expression, and Ning Fan and Shui Yao, who were sitting to his left, also looked rather unpleasant.
They represent the Blue Flower Heavenly Palace, and Jiu Hua is a Grand Master cultivator. So, based on both their status and strength, Su Jiu Li and her brother should greet him first.
But they actually bowed to a mere Golden Core cultivator first! Wasn't this a blatant insult to Lan Hua Heavenly Palace?
Because of this small action, the atmosphere in the entire hall became oppressive, and the maids were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Finally, Su Bo spoke up to break the awkward atmosphere: "It is an honor for the Su family that Master Jiuhua has graced my humble abode with his presence. I will offer you a cup of tea instead of wine!"
Jiu Hua also took the opportunity to speak up, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then looked in Su Jiu Li's direction: "Young friend Su, my disciple said that there has been a misunderstanding between you two?"
Ye Sisi pouted. What kind of time is this to be pretending to be confused? If she were from Lan Hua Tian Gong, she would definitely apologize and admit her mistake directly. Why are you being so long-winded? Don't you find it troublesome?
Su Jiuli still smiled and said, "Senior Jiuhua is confused. There is no misunderstanding between your disciple and me. The misunderstanding is with the Liu family!"
