The Ye Family didn’t want their daughter to learn martial arts, snorting: "I don’t know any Qinggong teachers."
No way.
"Does that mean if you did know one, you would stop me?"
Little daughter’s words left Ye Family speechless.
The delicate and graceful young girl in front of her smiled innocently, putting her in a bit of a spot!
Ye Family knows the people her daughter knows, but there’s no suitable candidate for teaching, gritting her teeth: "If you know a master who would take you under their wing, I won’t stop you, but you can’t join those messy sects."
"Alright, it’s a deal! Huanhuan, my mom agreed. I’m going to be your junior sister now."
Ye Zhi looked excited, setting aside her long spear and going to clasp Huanhuan’s hand, bouncing around.
The Red Gold Inlaid Pearl Hairpin swayed and clashed together, making a sound like jade beads dropped on a plate.
Her raven-black long hair, neatly combed and pinned, struggled to stay intact amidst her bouncing and ended up slightly messy.
The little girl was bouncing too much, Ye Lin rubbed his forehead and reminded her, "Stand properly, what kind of decorum is this? However, what did Ah Zhi mean by ’junior sister’ just now? Since you both are apprenticed under Mr. Qian Wei, it wouldn’t be too much to call each other senior and junior sisters, but why say ’in the future’?"
This analysis was well-founded.
Ye Zhi’s fair and pink face showed a slight smile as she generously explained: "At the end of April, Huanhuan’s mother is coming to the Capital City. She used to be the famous Lingbo Fairy of the martial world, and I’m considering asking to be her pupil and becoming Huanhuan’s junior sister, so we could learn Qinggong together."
Everyone understood, so that’s how it is.
The Ye Family also realized; she had always opposed her youngest daughter learning martial arts. If Qinggong was brought up again, she feared she would stop her. Hence, her youngest daughter asked just now: "Are you setting your mother up because you’re afraid she won’t agree?"
"Mhmm," Ye Zhi admitted!
Ye Family wanted to say something, but Ye Fu jumped in before her.
"Mother, I actually think learning some skills is a good thing. Since little sister is willing, mother should agree with her. It’ll help her protect herself when she goes out later."
Young sister is as beautiful as a flower; once grown, despite having guardians, learning some skills for protection isn’t a bad idea.
She sided with little sister.
Lord Minister spoke openly and frankly: "Yes, let her do as she wishes. Whatever my Ah Zhi wants to learn, I’ll support her."
"Everyone’s on her side now, what else can I say?" Ye Family took a sip of the tea she raised from the table, her face not pleased.
Which could be considered agreement.
With this said, the little girl cheered again.
Feng Liuli and Xun Yin sat nearby, sipping tea and occasionally chiming in with a word or two.
Ye Mansion was hosting the Eldest Prince and the Little Princess for a sleepover!
That night, Ye Zhi slept with Qinglian and Huanhuan, three kids randomly discussing matters.
Qingyi Garden, inside the room.
"Qinglian, do you want to join me and Huanhuan in learning Qinggong? For Huanhuan’s sake, Lingbo Fairy would probably agree."
Huanhuan stared at the draped headboard, seeing indistinctly in the dark, and echoed Ye Zhi’s persuasion: "Yeah, Qinglian, come learn from my mom too. We can be companions, and then I’ll be your senior sister!"
Little Fairy hesitated: "I’m not sure if that’s a good idea. Will your mom take on two students at once, and I don’t know if she’ll agree?"
Huanhuan reassured, "Don’t worry about that, my mom often said before retiring she regretted not taking any students."
