Chapter 25: Of Course, I Want to Be Master’s Beloved Consort:
In terms of birth, talent, strength, and potential, the supporting female characters were far more interesting to explore than the foolish female protagonist!
They have much more value. When the opportunity arises, it would be worthwhile to explore Su Xinyue's background. But for now… it was time to explore Su Wanxi further!
It felt like her ultimate potential hadn’t been fully awakened yet. She needed to be pushed to her limits. So… let’s continue!
That night, Ling Ye and Su Wanxi stayed up all night. On the other hand, Su Xinyue also had a sleepless night in her own room!
...
The next day.
Early in the morning, Su Xinyue rushed to Ling Ye's room. When she saw Ling Ye and Su Wanxi walking out together, she knew… everything she had imagined had happened! Her mother had indeed taken the first step ahead of her!
Damn it! Why did everyone want to take away her master? And why did everyone succeed? What about her? Her master said she was still too young! What should she do in the future? Her mother had already gotten Ling Ye first. Should she still try?
Of course, she should! Why should she just give up? Even if it's her mother, so what?
With these thoughts in mind, Su Xinyue felt even more determined. When she saw Su Wanxi, a flash of embarrassment crossed Su Wanxi’s charming face. Now that Su Xinyue saw them coming out of the room together, it was obvious what had happened! It was quite awkward. After all, it was her daughter's master. The first day her daughter brought him to the Su family, she had already made a move…
Of course, she didn’t know that Ling Ye had come primarily because of her, the most beautiful woman in Lei Province! Otherwise, such a small matter in the Su family wouldn't have required Ling Ye’s personal attention.
"Greetings, Master. Greetings, Mother!" Su Xinyue greeted them, her lips pouting.
Mother? Soon, she might have to call her Master’s wife, hmph!
Su Wanxi could naturally sense the jealousy in her daughter's eyes—the helpless jealousy! Being stolen from by her own mother would make anyone upset.
"Breakfast is ready. Master, please join us in the dining hall!" Su Xinyue said next.
"Hmm," Ling Ye nodded.
"This concubine... will go change my clothes," Su Wanxi said softly. Her attire was only for Ling Ye’s eyes, after all.
Ling Ye nodded lightly.
Hearing this, Su Xinyue’s eyebrows furrowed tightly. "Concubine?"
Yesterday she referred to herself as a commoner, and now she called herself 'this concubine'? You really… you really did it!"
Su Xinyue was almost stomping her feet in anger, about to curse them as shameless!
She felt so unwilling. If she had known, she wouldn't have brought her master back home. Bringing him back only benefited her mother… She had her eyes on him first!
It was so unfair! The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. Her mother was bullying her, even stealing her daughter’s master...
Su Wanxi returned to her room to change, while Ling Ye and Su Xinyue walked toward the dining hall. As they walked side by side through the courtyard, Su Xinyue couldn’t help but ask, “Master, last night with my mother…”
She didn’t finish her sentence, but Ling Ye knew what she meant.
"Just as you think," Ling Ye answered without hiding anything.
Although she had expected this, hearing Ling Ye confirm it made Su Xinyue frown.
“So, my mother… is now your woman?” Su Xinyue asked, pouting.
“Yes, she is my concubine. So, you are now considered a princess of the empire,” Ling Ye replied.
Su Xinyue was already considered a princess of the Great Imperial Empire simply because she was his disciple.
“But I don’t want to be a princess!” Su Xinyue retorted.
“Then what do you want to be?” Ling Ye looked at her.
“I…” Su Xinyue blushed and didn’t finish her sentence.
What did she want? Of course, she wanted to be her master’s beloved concubine too! But her mother had already taken the first step. Becoming his concubine now would seem somewhat… unethical! But… it was actually possible! In this world, there was no need to adhere to rigid rules.
“I want something that Master might not agree to,” Su Xinyue muttered, lowering her head.
“You also want to be my concubine?” Ling Ye smiled.
This was obvious without needing to guess!
Su Xinyue walked with her head lowered even more. Even though it was obvious, hearing Ling Ye say it made her blush.
“That is possible,” Ling Ye said. “But as I’ve said before, you need to focus all your efforts on cultivating. Once you’ve truly grown, everything will be possible.”
Hearing this, Su Xinyue looked up, gathering her courage. “Then… set a standard, Master! I will work twice as hard! ”
Since it was possible, there should be a clear goal.
Seeing her determination, Ling Ye smiled and shook his head. Then, he slowly said, “The Divine Sky Realm.”
