The smile on Granny Wei's face faded, and she sighed, "This is a long story. When Madam and Master got married, Master had not yet reached his current position, and the old master was still in charge of the Ye family."

"The lady's father held a high position in the court at that time, serving as the Privy Councilor of the first rank. When they first got married, the master and lady had a very good relationship. The lady's family also valued the master highly and gave him a lot of support."

"It was also because of the support of his maternal family that the master was promoted very quickly in those years. Moreover, with the guidance of the madam's father, he secretly pledged allegiance to the current emperor, who was then the crown prince. After the current emperor ascended the throne, the master became even more powerful."

"Later, the old master passed away due to illness, and the master directly inherited the position of clan leader and became the head of the Ye family."

Granny Wei pursed her lips, still feeling somewhat unhappy as she recalled what had happened: "But just when the master was gaining power, and we all thought that the madam's life would only get better and better, some of the colleagues the master made in court started to put people around the old man. The master could refuse some, but not others, so he took them back to the mansion."

"After that, the master seemed to have become addicted to the taste and took in two or three more concubines, whom he favored very much."

"During that time, the lady was depressed and in great pain. After her maternal grandfather learned of this, he came to see the master. Perhaps because of the support of her maternal grandfather, the master restrained himself a little. But who knew that perhaps it was because of that that the master developed a dislike for her maternal grandfather. Later, some things happened in the court, and the master, I don't know where he heard the slander, personally... brought down her maternal grandfather."

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes. Why was Ye Qinghao doing this?

Ye Qing'an's maternal grandfather holds an important position in the court. If the father-in-law and son-in-law can join forces, why not?

Why did he want to bring down Ye Qing'an's maternal grandfather?

Although Ye Qing'an hadn't been here long, she had a fairly good understanding of Ye Qinghao's character. She didn't think that Ye Qinghao would do something so harmful to him just because his maternal grandfather had supported his mother and embarrassed him.

It must have been her maternal grandfather who blocked Ye Qinghao's path; perhaps the father-in-law and son-in-law were on opposing sides...

"Because of that incident, my maternal grandfather's entire family was demoted to a fifth-rank sinecure and sent to Tongxin Prefecture. Tongxin Prefecture is far from Wangjing City, and they have also lost touch with the Ye family. Even the madam doesn't have much contact with them anymore."

"Because of this incident, the master has also become cold towards the madam..."

Granny Wei sighed deeply: "Later, when Madam left, she specifically instructed us not to send any messages to Grandfather..."

"But how could we, as servants, possibly spread this news, especially to such a distant place? We have no idea what the situation is like on my maternal grandfather's side."

It turned out to be the case.

Ye Qing'an tapped her fingers on the table, a few thoughts forming in her mind.

She had no power or support in Wangjing City.

Although her maternal grandfather's lineage is now far away in Tongxin Prefecture, it is not entirely without room for maneuver.

They were sent to Tongxin Prefecture, and then they could find a way to bring them back.

Although they had a falling out with the Ye family before, Ye Qing'an's mother was already dead, and since she was their own daughter, they might not really blame her.

The person they hated was Ye Qinghao.

That's just right...

A smile flashed across Ye Qing'an's eyes. Liu Xueying's weakness was that she didn't have a good family to support her. This was probably the reason why Liu Xueying hated her mother the most back then.

She should naturally bring back what she previously found most repulsive, so that she can continue to feel repulsed.

Ye Qing'an ate a few pastries: "That's enough. If you eat any more, you won't have room for anything else later. Take it away. I'll play with Eleven for a while."

Because of what happened before, Granny Wei has learned her lesson. When the mother and son want to be alone, Granny Wei will no longer be so tactless as to disturb them.

He simply bowed his head in agreement and withdrew.

Ye Qing'an took Eleven with her into the Cloud Dreamland.

Perhaps because no one else, except for the mother and son and Jiu Xiao, could enter the Cloud Dream Realm, Eleven seemed to feel more at ease in the Cloud Dream Realm.

After running around on the grass for a while, she sat down in front of Ye Qing'an and said, "Mother, I feel spiritual energy surging within my body. I asked Jiu Xiao before, and he said my cultivation has been very effective. Mother, please take a look at me..."

Seeing his enthusiastic expression, Ye Qing'an couldn't help but smile and reached out to test him with a wisp of spiritual power.

To Ye Qing'an's surprise, Eleven's cultivation progress was faster than he had expected.

Looking at Ye Qing'an's expression, Jiu Xiao seemed to know what she was thinking: "At eleven years old, she is young and learns things quickly. In addition, because she is young, the spiritual energy in her body is very pure and has not been affected by other messy things, so she will learn faster than adults."

"However, he has less concentration than adults. He is easily distracted or attracted by other things. Few people can sit still like him, so the effect is not as noticeable for others."

Ye Qing'an nodded: "Very good."

Eleven was overjoyed to receive Ye Qing'an's affirmation: "I will cultivate even harder."

As he spoke, he began to meditate and cultivate.

Seeing his serious expression, Ye Qing'an couldn't help but chuckle. She then began to meditate beside him. She had been on the verge of leveling up, and her spiritual energy had just circulated through her body once when she felt a sudden change occur within her. It was as if something blocking her had been broken through, and her dantian became clearer, and her meridians became more unobstructed.

"Congratulations, Master! You have been promoted from a martial artist to a phantom."

Jiuxiao's voice came from beside her, and Ye Qing'an came back to her senses, only opening her eyes. Had she leveled up?

Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips. It was only the transition from martial artist to illusionist; this was just the beginning.

As Ye Qing'an was thinking, he suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound from the side, and even the ground beneath him began to tremble.

Eleven opened her eyes: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Ye Qing'an quickly reached out and pulled Eleven into his arms, then looked up in the direction from which the sound came.

Then you see, in what was once a flat, grassy area, something suddenly bursts out of the ground, revealing a black top...
