“Dad and…” Ye Jiao’s eyes widened in astonishment. She knew that her father was awesome, but she didn’t expect that it would be this great.

Mu Xin nodded her head. “However, the two of them fail to reach rank 3 before the age of 15 because of different reasons.”

“Wait, who’s Ai Xia?”

“It’s your aunt, dummy,” Mu Xin laughed. “Madam Ai Xia was adopted by Ye Family, but she refused to change her surname. Because of that, they kindly allow her to use her surname while adding Ye surname.”

“Ah,” Ye Jiao never realized that her mother’s real surname was Ai. She always thought that her mother had replaced it from young and at the same time, her name was Ai Xia. But it turned out that it was coming from her mother’s past name.

“I thought that there are more people with purple talent.”

“Yes, from other places,” Mu Xin admitted. “Occasionally, there will be students exchange with students from other places. It usually occurs every five years, but it’s only applicable in Academy and not Elementary School.”

“Is it going to happen soon?”

“I think no? I don’t know either,” Mu Xin replied embarrassedly. “I’m still in Elementary School this year, so I don’t pay much attention.”

“I see.”

Ye Jiao thought to herself. If there were only two people with purple talent in this kingdom, it meant that her father’s wife must have come from a different kingdom. Was it among the four kingdoms or outside the four kingdoms?

She was not sure herself.

“The participants are rushing in!”

The shout from another student brought Ye Jiao’s attention back to the competition. She could see two women were leading at the front with someone else at their back, trailing not far from them.

“It’s Su Daji,” Mu Xin pointed to one of the women at the front. Right now, the aloof and respectable madam from Wei Family looked rather horrible. She was drenched in mud all over her body, but she still forced her Eon Energy to propel her forward.

The other woman was Ye Ai Xia. Compared with Su Daji, Ye Ai Xia’s condition was far better. Her clothes were a bit unkempt because of running madly at high speed, but she was not dirty at all. If anything, her movements still had a trace of elegance.

“They’re almost reaching the finish line,” Ye Jiao said excitedly.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

“The brutal war will start here,” Mu Xin commented.

Right after she said that, Su Daji suddenly attacked the other two women using her Eon Energy. It was forming a line and pushed the two of them.

Ye Ai Xia was prepared as she blocked it by making an Eon Energy barrier, but the other woman fell to the ground. Still, that woman didn’t give up and stood up again. For Eon Energy Master Rank 3, that small damage was nothing much.

With that, the three of them were closing to the finish line even faster and faster. Su Daji continued to spare some time to attack, but the other two were already prepared for her attack, allowing them to escape.

However, their action of escaping made Su Daji reach first.

“This is the first time I see battle between rank 3 masters,” Mu Xin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry seeing their pitiful battle. Compared with her imagination, their battle looked hilarious.

Ye Jiao laughed. “But it’s not easy to control the Eon Energy.”

“Yes, it’s just, the way they control it makes it funny,” Mu Xin replied. Her eyes glanced to the back as she saw two other women were already dashing madly to the finish line. Their eyes contained despair as they saw how close the three in the lead were to the finish line.

“The fastest ones are all women.”

“The reward is more suitable for women,” Mu Xin shrugged.

Ye Jiao watched intently as she saw Su Daji crossed the finish line followed by her mother. Her eyes contained slight disappointment, but she was proud that her mother could reach the finish line pretty quick to have the second place.

“It has ended, do you want to return back or watch the ceremony?” Mu Xin asked. She didn’t really have any interest in watching them.

Ye Jiao eyed the four siblings. “I think it’s better if I return back.”

“Ah, are they bullying you?”

“No, it’s not that,” Ye Jiao frowned. She just has the feeling that they would try to report her for getting out of Wei Family Residence to Wei Shang. At that time, it was her mother who would get into trouble.

Mu Xin studied Ye Jiao’s expression and took out a bottle of medicine. “This can help you cure the outer layer of wounds quickly. Let’s meet again after I finish forming my core.”

“Ok, Senior Mu,” Ye Jiao agreed directly.

Mu Xin turned to Wang Jun. “Jun Ge, please escort Ye Jiao back.”

“Yes, Miss.”

The two of them looked at one another for a moment before Ye Jiao turned around and got out of the place. Once they were among the crowd, Wang Jun picked her up and departed from the place.

It didn’t take long for them to arrive in Wei Family Residence.

“Thank you, Jun Ge,” Ye Jiao gave her thanks.

Wang Jun nodded his head. He watched the girl for a few seconds. “Please be careful during your stay here, Miss Ye. Wei Family is filled with malicious people.”

“I know. Thank you for your reminder.”

Seeing the reassuring smile on Ye Jiao’s face, Wang Jun felt a bit guilty for leaving this young girl in this kind of place. If it was possible, it would be great to take her out of the city. However, he would never be able to do that under the watch of those rank 4.

With a heavy feeling, he turned around and left without knowing that it would take him months before meeting the young girl again.

Ye Jiao stood in her place for the next few minutes. She focused on controlling the Eon Energy around her and absorbed them slowly but steadily. Her core hadn’t shows any sign that it would be full, so she could absorb a lot of Eon Energy with ease.

‘They come.’

In front of her, she saw Wei Mi and Wei Liao walking closer. Their faces contained disgust when they saw the young girl.

“It seems that you know how to return back early, brat,” Wei Mi crossed her arm. “Wei Liao, call our father here.”

“Ok.”

Ye Jiao watched the two of them with a bad premonition. “What do you want?”

“What do I want?” Wei Mi arched her eyebrow. “I want to crush you.”
