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

Seeing that Ye Qing'an stared coldly at the water pearl without saying a word, the sixth concubine continued, "Miss, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter and find the real culprit who hurt the young master."

Ye Qing'an pursed her lips and nodded slightly: "Alright, there aren't many people I can trust in the manor, but because Sixth Aunt was once someone who served my mother, I'm willing to trust her. I'll trouble Sixth Aunt with this matter."

"Now in this world, I have few relatives left who I can truly be close to. The most important people to me are Eleven and Feiran. I will not let anyone who dares to harm them off lightly."

"If the murderer is found, I will avenge this crime even at the cost of my life."

Upon hearing this, the sixth concubine straightened up: "Yes, for a woman, a child is life itself."

After talking with the sixth concubine for a while, Ye Qing'an asked Granny Wei to escort the sixth concubine away and went into the house himself.

A short while later, Zixiao entered the room: "Granny Wei is talking to Sixth Madam at the gate of the courtyard."

Ye Qing'an nodded slightly: "It's alright, there's no need to eavesdrop or pry. Since they said it at the entrance of the courtyard, it certainly wasn't anything shameful."

This is true.

Zi Xiao nodded slightly, glanced at Ye Qing'an again, and stood silently to the side with her head down.

"What do you want to say?"

Zixiao quickly shook her head: "No, it's nothing. I was just thinking about what Sixth Aunt mentioned about the Water Condensation Pearl."

“Water Condensation Pearls can only be condensed by a third-level Immortal, and there seem to be very few third-level Immortals among the servants in this manor.” Zi Xiao bit her lip. “There are many people who practice Xuanling Arts on the Tianlong Continent, but ordinary people, even if they have spiritual roots, will find it difficult to get started without opportunities or guidance. Moreover, it is not easy for ordinary people to even survive, let alone have the time to practice Xuanling Arts, let alone persevere.”

"Among those who practice the Profound Spirit Techniques, perhaps only one or two out of a hundred thousand can reach the level of an Immortal..."

"Since you've already reached the third level of Immortal, why are you still working as a servant in this Ye Manor?"

Ye Qing'an paused slightly, but his gaze fell on Zi Xiao's face, staring intently at her.

Zixiao already had something on her mind, and being stared at like that by Ye Qing'an made her feel even more uneasy: "Why is Miss looking at me like that?"

Ye Qing'an suddenly laughed: "Actually, I've been wondering why you came to rely on me?"

"You used to be Liu Xueying's person. Before I came back, Liu Xueying could practically rule the mansion. Although I've returned, I have nothing. No father's trust, no mystical arts, no capable people, no money..."

"Perhaps, Father's suggestion that I become the next head of the Ye family might indeed tempt you. But you've been in this manor for over three years, haven't you? You must have seen your share of ups and downs. You also understand that until the very last step, no one's words count."

"But you still abandoned Liu Xueying and came to rely on me."

Zi Xiao opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but Ye Qing'an didn't give her the chance.

“You said you wanted to become the master’s most trusted person, but Liu Xueying couldn’t give you that kind of trust, so you chose me, who had no foundation in the mansion.”

"But in my opinion, this is not enough to justify your risking betrayal of Liu Xueying."

Ye Qing'an casually toyed with the handkerchief in her hand: "I had previously suspected that you were only pretending to pledge allegiance, but after hearing what you said just now, I suddenly understand why you chose me."

Zixiao opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but she couldn't say a word.

For some reason, she always felt that when she stood in front of this young lady, all her thoughts and schemes were completely exposed, as if this young lady could see right through her...

"You chose me because you know that my dantian has been repaired and I am about to begin cultivation."

"If you want to stay by my side, find an opportunity for me to allow you to cultivate."

"You want to cultivate the Mystic Arts."

Zi Xiao bit her lip, her face was pale, her heart was in turmoil, and her eyes were darting around.

"As you said, everyone knows that spiritual practitioners are good, but you never see them running around everywhere. Ordinary people are struggling to survive, let alone have the energy or the means to cultivate."

"Therefore, ordinary people, even those with spiritual roots or exceptional talent, often find it difficult to even begin to learn. But if they have someone to guide them, it becomes much easier."

"In this manor now, I am the only one who has just begun to learn the basics, and Father will find a good master to guide me. You can think that even if you just stay by my side and listen to me recite the incantations and watch how I cultivate, you can also go down and cultivate on your own."

Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips: "Am I right by my guess?"

Zixiao suddenly knelt down: "Yes, this servant really wants to cultivate. Before, Miss asked about my birth. Just as Miss said, my birth is not bad. I have also tried my innate body before. My innate body is the Immortal Building Body, which is an extremely good talent among ordinary people."

“This servant actually wanted to cultivate spirituality, but when I was about to begin cultivating immortality, my family began to decline, and my parents had no time to plan for me. Later, when something happened in the family, I was busy with various things and had no time to care about these matters.”

"It was only after finally entering the Ye residence that things settled down a little."

"It is precisely because things have settled down that I have seen many things clearly in this household. No one is willing to be a slave forever, and I also want to strive for a better future. I don't necessarily have to stand out from the crowd, but at least I don't have to be a servant that everyone can trample on..."

"Actually, I had considered the Second Young Master before, but he had already passed his enlightenment period, and I felt something was off about his cultivation progress, so I didn't make up my mind. Until the Eldest Miss returned to the manor..."

Zixiao raised her head and looked at Ye Qing'an: "What the eldest young lady said is very true. In fact, I am an ambitious person. However, this ambition is not directed at the eldest young lady."

"If Miss is willing to grant my request, I will certainly serve you without any complaints. Even if I am fortunate enough to become an immortal in the future, I will never betray your trust today."

Ye Qing'an's gaze swept over Zi Xiao's face, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

She wasn't afraid of those around her having ambitions.

Having ambition is a good thing; it is precisely because of ambition that one is more easily controlled.

What's frightening is that they have ambitions to go beyond our control.

Ye Qing'an tapped her fingers lightly on the table: "If you want me to guide your cultivation, it's not impossible..."
