Beast Taming Mad Concubine: The Useless Young Lady is Back!

Master Lingjun's teaching was quite ordinary, without any major incidents. However, perhaps because she was a beginner, he was afraid that if he taught her too much at once, she wouldn't be able to absorb and digest it all. On the first day, he only taught her the basic breathing techniques, and then let her figure it out on her own.

The next day, Master Lingjun only taught her the incantation for gathering qi.

On the third day, he taught her how to draw in the air.

……

For four or five days in a row, Master Lingjun taught him only the most basic things, and Ye Qing'an did not raise any objections. She simply practiced what Master Lingjun taught her.

Everything seemed perfectly calm...

After returning to the Ye residence, Ye Qing'an, claiming he needed to review what his master had taught him, locked himself in his room and went straight into the Cloud Dream Realm to begin his cultivation.

"So, Master Lingjun divided one thing into three days of teaching, could it be that he did this just to slow down your cultivation progress?" Jiu Xiao somehow got hold of a bunch of snacks, set up a table next to Ye Qing'an, and started chatting while eating snacks.

"Isn't this perfect?" Ye Qing'an's voice was somewhat casual: "After the results of my talent physique trial came out, there were probably many people in the Ye clan who were envious, afraid that if I really cultivated and attained enlightenment, it would threaten what they already had. If Mr. Lingjun can let me cultivate slowly, it will satisfy many people."

"And if Ye Qinghao asks about it later, Mr. Lingjun can say that it's because I've never cultivated before and my foundation is too weak. He's just trying to find a way to solidify my foundation."

"So that no one can find any mistakes."

Jiuxiao nodded thoughtfully: "Did Liu Xueying and Ye Weilan put a bad word about you in front of Master Lingjun?"

Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips: "Perhaps."

Jiu Xiao pinched the pastry and thought for a while: "Recently, Liu Xueying and Ye Weilan seem to be quite well-behaved. I've been keeping an eye on them several times, but I haven't found anything. Could it be that they see you as a tough nut to crack, so they've given up on targeting you?"

“Giving up is out of the question.” Ye Qing’an narrowed his eyes. “I’m just more cautious than before and won’t act rashly anymore.”

Speaking of this, Ye Qing'an remembered that Eleven had mentioned to her before that Ye Feiran's page had urged him to attend some banquet hosted by the Prince of Anding. At that time, the banquet that Eleven mentioned seemed to be... in seven days?

Five days have passed now, so it will be... the day after tomorrow?

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes. The pageboys around Ye Feiran were all Liu Xueying's people, so this matter was most likely Liu Xueying's doing. That small banquet was probably problematic, and it was aimed at Ye Feiran.

Ye Feiran's purpose was naturally for her.

Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips. Ye Feiran's page had many opportunities to tell Ye Feiran this in private, but he insisted on saying it in front of Eleven. Wasn't it just to tell her through Eleven's mouth?

Since they've set up this scheme, wouldn't it be pointless if she didn't join in?

Ye Qing'an exhaled, withdrew her spiritual power, and stood up: "I'm going to see Liu Xueying."

Ye Qing'an had been back at the manor for more than half a month, but this was the first time he had visited Liu Xueying's courtyard.

As the favored principal wife, Liu Xueying's courtyard was indeed very magnificent, even more so than she remembered.

Ye Qing'an was led into the flower hall by a maid, and soon saw Liu Xueying come out.

The two had already broken off all pretense, so there was no need for pretense anymore. Liu Xueying's face was full of sarcasm: "Oh, isn't this Miss Liu? What brings you here? Is there something important?"

Ye Qing'an went straight to the point: "I heard that Fei Ran is going to attend a small banquet at the Prince of Anding's residence the day after tomorrow?"

"That is true, but the banquet was not held at the Prince of Anding's residence, but rather at one of his villas. Miss, are you asking about this because you don't want Feiran to go, or do you wish to go with her?"

“I’d like to go with you.” Ye Qing’an’s lips curled up slightly. “I’ve been back in Wangjing City for some time now, but I have no impression of the young masters and ladies of the noble families in Wangjing City. So I would like to take this opportunity to get to know them.”

Liu Xueying still had a slight smile on her face: "Being sure is just an excuse, you're really worried about Feiran going to the banquet alone, aren't you?"

“It’s true.” Ye Qing’an nodded. “After all, Ye Feiran is with me now. We’re in the same boat. If something happens to him, it will affect me. He’s been raised like this by Madam, so I’m naturally worried about him.”

"Go if you want, I won't stop you. I'd like to see what kind of trouble you two can cause."

"There is one thing I must say. Prince An Ding is a member of the royal family. In this capital city, the power of a subject is too great. No matter how favored he is, he cannot compare to the royal family. After all, the royal family and the emperor are blood relatives. If you anger a member of the royal family, even our Ye family may not be able to protect you."

"Follow my mother's instructions."

Having achieved his goal, Ye Qing'an withdrew.

Liu Xueying watched Ye Qing'an's retreating figure, a slight smile playing on her lips, and scoffed, "So what if he has a Holy Spirit Body? If the Emperor wants to kill him, he can kill even a Supreme Body."

Ye Qing'an had been back at the manor for less than a month, yet she had been quite active, causing a rift between her and Wei Lan, making Wei Lan hate her. Even the master of the house rarely set foot in her courtyard anymore.

This was intolerable; she absolutely could not let Ye Qing'an continue to enjoy himself.

She had underestimated Ye Qing'an before and hadn't taken him seriously. Now it was time to let Ye Qing'an know who the master of the Ye family really was.

She had been scheming in this mansion for many years, and she refused to believe that she couldn't even defeat Ye Qing'an.

As Ye Qing'an came out of the main courtyard, Zi Xiao lowered her voice and said, "Even if Miss goes with the Second Young Master, it is impossible for her to stay by his side all the time. If Madam really wants to make a move, I'm afraid it will be impossible to guard against."

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes and chuckled: "Can't be guarded against? Why should I guard against it? Not only will I not guard against it, I will strike first."

Two days later, it will be time for the small banquet.

When Ye Qing'an arrived at the second gate, she saw Li Mama, who was by Liu Xueying's side: "This is the first time the eldest young lady has attended a small banquet. Madam said that she forgot to tell the young lady that when attending a small banquet, she should bring a small gift for the host. I don't know if the eldest young lady has prepared one. Madam just remembered it and hurriedly asked me to bring the gift and wait here."

Granny Li opened the mahogany box in her hand: "This is a jade pendant that the Madam prepared for the Eldest Miss. The material of this jade pendant is excellent. If the Eldest Miss takes it as a gift, it shouldn't be too undignified."

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes, her gaze falling on the jade pendant.

It was indeed made of excellent material, but...

If it were truly a valuable item, why would Liu Xueying have given it away to someone else?

Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips: "No need. Consort Lan sent some things before, and I have selected gifts from them. Everything is ready. I even prepared a gift for Fei Ran."

Ye Qing'an's words were barbed, clearly showing her distrust of Liu Xueying. However, Granny Li wasn't angry; she simply closed the box again: "That's good. Then this servant can return to report with peace of mind. I hope Miss has a pleasant day..."
