Wei Liao has arrived in Ye Jiao's old house as he rested his body. His heart felt both ecstatic and tired.

He was happy that he managed to enact his revenge and at the same time, he felt tired. The fight was not easy, but it was satisfying. The despair on that girl's face was the best prize he got from this action.

'I get what I want.'

Before, it was him in the same position. Once his mother left for the Arena City, Su Lian made her move and cornered him. No matter what he did to escape, there was no way he could defeat that muscular woman.

Once he was cornered, she sliced his stomach open and took out his core. It was not a pleasant feeling and Wei Liao knew that he would never want to experience it again. The despair he felt when that woman took his core was the same as Wei Mi. It felt as if it was the end of the world for him.

At that time, Wei Mi was there. That girl didn't help him out, but instead, she beat him up after he lost his core. That way, he wouldn't be able to go to their father to complain. Because of that, Wei Shang realized the matter too late and there was no way he could get his core back.

He had to form one from the beginning once again.

"How are you feeling?"

The voice of a young girl caused him to s.h.i.+ft his gaze. Seeing Ye Jiao walk over to him with a tired face, he smiled back. He was happy that he met with Ye Jiao. If not because of her, he would never be able to enact his revenge.

Wei Liao kowtowed on the ground. "Many thanks for Master's help. I'll eternally be grateful to you."

"I didn't do much," Ye Jiao said amusedly. She sat down on the ground and heaved a sigh as she started to absorb Eon Energy into her core. It felt really empty as she had used everything in the fight just now.

She still hadn't attacked Wei Shang directly, but right now, she knew that she was not his match.

The gap between them was still too large.

It was not the time yet.

"It's thanks to you that I can do this," Wei Liao replied solemnly. He would forever be in Ye Jiao's debt because he knew that no matter what he did, he could never repay the favor she gave him.

He had wronged her, but she gave him the chance to get his own revenge instead. For him, it would be a favor that he could never be able to repay even if he overturned the world. After all, he could never change the past.

Ye Jiao smiled. "You don't have to stay as my servant. I can just erase the pledge that you give me and you'll be free."

"If you erase it, I'll make another one again," Wei Liao replied.

The pledge of loyalty against one's person could be broken once that particular person died or chose to erase the connection. This would never be possible if it was a kingdom or organization unless that organization or kingdom was destroyed. At that time, the pledger would be able to form another one.

"You're stubborn."

"I am."

"Why do you want to stick with me? We might not even meet each other in the future again."

Wei Liao's face changed slightly. He looked at Ye Jiao with a solemn gaze. "I'll chase after you, Master. No matter where you go, I'll find you and make sure that I do my work well as your servant."

Wei Liao's conviction made Ye Jiao unable to say anything more. She knew that he wanted to stay with her no matter what. She sighed internally as she knew that she was very soft when handling him.

Ye Jiao took out a bracelet and handed it to Wei Liao. "After you have enough rest, you will be able to form your core. There are a lot of rank 2 beast's meat inside the bracelet. They should be enough for you to sell and also eat if you want to. Their worth should be quite a lot."

Wei Liao looked at Ye Jiao with doubts in his eyes. The way Ye Jiao said it made him feel that she wanted him to leave. "Master, do you not want me anymore?"

"You can say it like that."

"I don't want to leave you, Master. I hadn't done anything to you."

Ye Jiao smiled. Just the fact that he crushed Wei Mi's hope in front of that girl was already good enough. She still couldn't show her face, so the one who could make the greatest impact would be Wei Liao. After all, seeing the one whom Wei Mi always treated so lowly get back to her wouldn't be pleasant.

"You won't be able to help me with your current strength," Ye Jiao pointed to Wei Liao's body.

Right now, Wei Liao hasn't even formed his core whereas Ye Jiao has reached rank 2. If he stayed with her in her journey, he would become nothing more than a burden because she would have to protect him. After all, her journey wouldn't be a smooth one.

Wei Liao's expression sank when he heard Ye Jiao's remark. That was true.

With his current strength, he still couldn't do anything to help Ye Jiao. If he wanted to help her, he needed to grow stronger, far stronger. He had to reach the position where there would be no one who could contend against him anymore.

"Master, I…"

"I'll head to the academy after I reach rank 3," Ye Jiao cut off the boy's words. She looked at the young man with a smile on her face. "I'll be waiting for you, but don't make me wait for long."

Wei Liao raised his head and looked at Ye Jiao. He could sense that she trusted him. She trusted that he would be able to reach that rank and followed after her steps. There was not even a trace of mocking or jeer despite the fact that he has much lower talent than her.

Perhaps, it was because of her genuine feelings that he decided to follow after her.

'I swear to the Heavens that I'll protect Master.'

Internally, Wei Liao made another vow. He would never let anything happen to his master. She treated him well, too well for what he was his real worth. No matter what, he wanted to repay her with all of his power.

"I understand, Master. I'll grow stronger and head over to that location."

"Good. I hope that you'll be well," Ye Jiao stood up and headed to the forest. She had recovered enough Eon Energy to travel once more.

Seeing Ye Jiao disappeared, Wei Liao heaved a sigh. Determination filled his eyes. Now, he had to focus on growing stronger and even stronger. He would definitely become someone whom his master could rely on.

After departing from her old house, Ye Jiao stopped near the lake and small waterfall. She headed to the cave where she stayed before as she sat down and started to control the Eon Energy to enter her core.

When she trained before, she sensed that there was something that was different from her core. It was as if the barrier that was always blocking her to absorb more Eon Energy had weakened. This feeling made her think that it might be the time for her to make her breakthrough.

Slowly, a large amount of Eon Energy entered her body and core.

Ye Jiao felt so comfortable as she continued to absorb more and more. Then, she could sense that her core had felt full but there was a force that pushed her to absorb more. Thus, she slowly absorbed more Eon Energy and circulated them inside her body.

Little by little the Eon Energy in her body becomes much denser and purer. Her body felt warm and comfortable because of them.

Time pa.s.sed slowly.

Splas.h.!.+

The moment Ye Jiao opened her eyes, invisible Eon Energy emanated from her body, It hit the wall and the waterfall. The water splashed outside in a loud sound, but Ye Jiao didn't pay any heed.

She inspected her body as she could sense that her strength has grown even stronger.

The Eon Energy in her body has become much purer and easier to use. As she waved her hand, Eon Energy came out and reached out. It was several times farther than the distance she could reach before.

Ye Jiao smiled.

She had become Eon Energy Master Rank 3!
