Just as Song QingLan’s head was about to smoke with anger, there was a knock on the courtyard gate.

“Second Lady, open the door.” A voice came from outside the door.

Song Qinglan’s face sank.

There would be no one else but a member of the Ye clan that would call her Second Lady. It seemed that it was the Ye clan outside the door.

“Little Shuang, get the door.”

Little Shuang hurriedly responded and ran to open the door.

Song QingLan’s face was gloomy as she said to Ye MuXi. “Xi’er, don’t pay attention to what they are going to say.”

Looking at Song QingLan’s complexion, it seemed that this was not the first time that a Ye clan’s family member had come.

Ye MuXi withdrew her cold intent back into the depths of her beautiful eyes and said with an expressionless face, “Hmm.”

Little Shuang quickly came in with two people.

The person who came was the head of the Ye household, son of Ye MuXi’s elder uncle: Ye JunFei. He could also be counted as Ye Mu Xi’s cousin.

Behind Ye JunFei was his attendant who waited by his side.

Ye JunFei walked all the way in and looked at the dilapidated little courtyard with strong disdain in his eyes.

He cupped his hands toward Song Qinglian without a trace of respect and said, “I say, Second Aunt, what are your thoughts?”

Song QingLan smiled coldly. “Don’t call me that, I can’t afford to be the Second Aunt of the Ye clan’s great young master.”

Ye JunFei laughed. “Auntie, we’re all family, why are we so estranged? You see, I’m doing this for the sake of my sister Xi’er, who will soon be eighteen years old. Those who haven’t opened their Divine Souls are already married. Nowadays, she’s at the right age to marry someone. Lord Han, as the young master of the Han clan, has a big business and a big family, not to mention with the guidance of the Immortals of Fate, he has opened to his Earthly Soul. If sister Xi’er marries him, she will definitely hail the wind and rain, and will enjoy glory and prosperity for the rest of her life.”

Hearing this, Ye MuXi understood why Song QingLan’s face had a look of disapproval when she heard Ye JunFei’s arrival.

From the memories of this body, it was known that the so-called Divine Soul was the threshold for cultivating into an Immortal of Fate, as well as an innate talent.

Only those who have opened their Divine Soul could cultivate. Divine souls could be divided into Heavenly Souls, Earthly Souls, Human Souls, and the legendary Immortal Souls.

The innate talent of a Human Soul was the worst, the Heavenly Soul was superior, and the Earthly Soul wasn’t regarded as weak.

And those who did not awaken their Divine Soul were only mortal beings.

Han XiuYuan had awakened his Earthly Spirit a while ago, and he was so ecstatic that he wanted the whole city to know. Naturally, Ye MuXi had also heard of it.

It was just that Han XiuYuan was philandering and toyed with a lot of women; he even kept two mistresses at home brought back from Hualiu Street. Let Ye MuXi marry Han XiuYuan?  Ye JunFei was lucky that Song QingLan didn’t blast him out on the spot.

“Aunty, I promise you that sister Xi’er definitely will not be aggrieved when she marries Han gonzi.”

As Ye JunFei spoke, his gaze fell onto Ye MuXi who was standing on one side.

With that said, Ye MuX really was good-looking.

With her elegant yet unmistakable, small willowy eyebrows, her big dark serene eyes, and that small melon seed face along with her tiny cherry mouth, Ye Junfei felt that he could cover her face with one hand.

No wonder Han XiuYuan had his mind set on Ye MuXi. If Ye Mu Xi wasn’t his cousin, this kind of good-looking girl, even he would have wanted to get his hands on her.

Ye JunFei sighed in his heart. But thinking of the benefits Han XiuYuan promised him after the completion of this matter, he endured his sordid feelings.

He looked at Ye MuXi with a narrow smile: ”Sister Xi’er, how about going with brother JunFei to meet Lord Han tonight? He had reserved our city’s best restaurant, Tower of Welcoming Celestials. He’s waiting for sister Xi’er to go. Han gonzi also said that even if Sister doesn’t want to marry him, you can still be friends first and have dinner. I also heard that sister Xi’er lacks money recently. As long as sister is willing to dine with Han gonzi, Lord Han is willing to give ten thousand taels of silver to help Sister through her current difficulties. How about it? Why don’t you go with your brother now?”

Ye JunFei stretched out his hand to grab Ye MuXi’s. Since he couldn’t dip his fingers in her, it was always okay to touch her little hand, right?

Ye JunFei’s eyes were so blunt that Song QingLan’s face instantly went dark. Just as she was about to shout, Ye JunFei suddenly let out a miserable cry and his face changed violently. “Ah–!”

Only to see that Ye MuXi was squeezing Ye Jun Fei’s wrist with only two fingers..

Those slender fingers were harder than iron pincers, and still Ye JunFei heard a crisp cracking sound. He couldn’t believe it as he realized it was the sound of his bones being crushed.

Then, a cold voice rang in his ears—

”Ten thousand taels? Do you take me as something to be sold?”

Ye MuXi’s face was expressionless as she exerted more force.

“Ah-!” Ye JunFei’s pig-killing sort of scream was deafening. ”Ye MuXi! Let go of me!”

The attendant behind Ye Junfei also rushed forward, determined to saveYe JunFei. He was kicked away by Ye Mu Xi and exclaimed, “Ouch!”

Song Qing Lan was stupefied.

How could she not know that her scrawny daughter, who was so thin, had so much strength?

Ye JunFei was equally surprised, but the broken bones in his wrist left him no time to think. The pain made him ramble, “Ye MuXi, don’t you pretend to be noble! Who in this capital doesn’t know that you want money and to fly up the branch to become a phoenix! You should be grateful to me for giving you the chance to hook up with Lord Han! Who the hell are you being crazy for!”

Indeed.

Who in this capital did not know the name of Song QingLan; the mother and daughter who were expelled from the Ye clan?

From the memory of this body, the former Ye MuXi was not willing to be kicked out of her clan and tried every possible way to get back. But how could the clan approve?

So Ye MuXi could only shift her target. Since her clan didn’t accept her, she would have to marry grandly into another rich family in all their glory, so that her family would regret throwing her out of the house.

Therefore, in order to achieve her goal, Ye MuXi could be said to run after men all day long. As long as the family was big and the background status of the man was excellent, Ye MuXi would be seen by people in the capital, shamelessly pursuing them behind their back.

After a little more inquiring, it turned out that this girl was from the Ye clan. In the capital, Ye clan was considered a big clan with a good reputation. So with this kind of harassment, Ye MuXi immediately became famous as a starry-eyed fool.

“No need to pretend.” Ye MuXi let go of Ye JunFei’s hand. She calmly took out her handkerchief and wiped her hand: “I’m just this virtuous.”

“You!”

Ye JunFei, who had been set free, looked at his hand. The bones were actually completely cracked, completely numb.

Ye JunFei was frozen in shock!

How could Ye MuXi have such strength? I didn’t even have the energy left over to resist!

He was a man who had opened his Divine Soul. Although his cultivation was a Human Soul, and wasn’t as good as Lord Han’s Earthly Soul, he was at least better than Ye MuXi who was a mortal!

She must have just used something he didn’t see!

Ye JunFei gritted his teeth, hating Ye MuXi to death in his heart.

Song QingLan was afraid that Ye JunFei’s wound was fatal, and so she immediately declared, “We have coarse tea and fresh water here, we can’t afford to entertain young master Ye. Young master Ye, please leave.”  Otherwise, she would definitely not let him go.

“Young master, young master. Let’s quickly go see the doctor…” Seeing his own young master’s face blanching with pain, the attendant hurriedly urged on, as he was terrified that Ye JunFei’s hand could be permanently injured.  

Ye JunFei naturally didn’t want his hand to be crippled, so he resisted the pain and prepared to leave.

Ye MuXi’s cold voice came from behind him. ”Ten thousand taels and you want to settle with me? You think I’m a money-grubbing fool?”

“Exactly! Our miss doesn’t care for mere worldly possessions like silvers!” said Little Shuang indignantly.

Song Qing Lan was also somewhat relieved that Xi’er had finally grown up. But before she could finish with her thought, she heard Ye MuXi’s indifferent voice: “No, I quite care for these worldly possessions.”

Little Shuang: “…”

Ye MuXi turned to Ye JunFei with a blank face. ”Tell that person with the surname Han, without a hundred thousand taels, to see me? No way.”

Song QingLan and Little Shuang: “…”

A hint of bewilderment appeared on Ye JunFei’s face.

I knew it! She’s still that same starry-eyed fool! Turns out she thinks the money is too little!
