Ye Ai Xia arched her eyebrows. "Do you want to try?"

Do you want to try?

It was clearly a provocation, but Wei Shang didn't dare to try that. Ye Xiao was still out there, out of their supervision. One way or another, that man managed to get out of their range and roam freely. If something happened to Ye Ai Xia, he would surely return back or perhaps, return back years later to get his revenge.

In addition, there was still the promise that he made with that woman.

That woman wanted Ye Ai Xia to stay alive and watched her from afar without the chance to catch up. If that woman heard that Ye Ai Xia had died, she might send an army from her family to exterminate his own family.

He was not that woman's match. Even if all experts in the kingdoms gathered, they wouldn't be able to defeat that woman and her family. The gap was simply too big.

"Fine, it's just food, right?" Wei Shang relented. If a dispute happened because of a small portion of food, he would shame the entire Wei Residence. She just wanted more food, so he would give it to her.

"Yes."

We Shang waved his hand, and a servant appeared before him. "Tell the kitchen servant to increase Ye Ai Xia's food portion to twice from what she gets previously."

"Yes, Master."

Ye Ai Xia watched the man walked away before turning her gaze back to Wei Shang. "You better not lie. I'll be waiting for my food."

"Of course," Wei Shang replied coolly.

As Ye Ai Xia left the place, the atmosphere turned several folds colder. The two servants that Ye Ai Xia brought with her were still kneeling on the ground. They didn't expect to hear something so outrageous in this place. However, they also knew that they would be silenced to make sure that the news never leaked out.

Wei Shang swept his glance to his guards. "All of you should head to the training camp and train again."

"Yes, Master!"

The guards were ashamed. Neither one of them managed to stop Ye Ai Xia before that woman reached Wei Shang's residence. This was a huge shame in their place.

"You'll endure 100 beating from the military rod and next week, all of you will spar with me one by one."

"Yes, Master!"

"Any objection?"

"No, Master! Master is the most benevolent man in the world!"

"Good," Wei Shang said shortly. "You're dismissed. And feed these two to the beasts."

As the guards disappeared back to do their punishment, Wei Shang tapped the table with annoyance. In his family, he was the absolute strongest one while the rest was only middle rank 3 at most. There were not many elites in this kingdom that he managed to pull to his side.

It seemed that it was already the time for him to develop more elites for himself.

At the same time, Ye Ai Xia returned back to her residence. Her heart was pacing quickly as she has truly acted outrageous just now. However, she needed to do this, or their treatment to the two of them would become worse.

'One or two more years and I'll be able to leave.'

If Ye Jiao managed to form her core before the age of 10, the two of them would have a chance to leave this place by relying on the large school that would be interested in her talent. For a child to form their core below the age of 11, they would be treated extremely well because of how rare they were. Out of thousands, only one child would be able to have enough talent to reach it.

Ye Ai Xia entered the room and saw that Ye Jiao was still sitting in front of the stove. Seeing how the girl didn't seem to feel the hot too much, her brow creased.

'Did she have natural affinity with fire? But if that's the case, she shouldn't feel the heat at all.'

As she pondered, Ye Jiao was focusing on the Eon Energy around her. She could feel that the Eon Energy that was formed from the fire in the stove was easier to absorb compared with the one that she used to absorb. She didn't really understand the reason, but since it made her training easier, she didn't move even one step from this place.

'Oh, they come.'

Ye Ai Xia walked out to see another servant had come. In her hand was a large basket, filled with food to the brim. Seeing the food, Ye Ai Xia was satisfied.

"Madam, this is your food for today."

"Ok, you can leave," Ye Ai Xia picked the basket and returned back to the room. Her hand was busy looking at the food in the basket. Coupled with the meat that his husband had left behind, they should have enough food to eat for the next year. Not only enough, they might be able to eat to their fill.

"Jiao'er."

Ye Jiao opened her eyes and turned around. "Mom."

"How's the training?"

"It's amazing," Ye Jiao replied. "The Eon Energy become easier to collect compared with usual."

"I see," Ye Ai Xia caressed the girl's hair tenderly. Her mind was thinking hard to find out the result. Unfortunately, she didn't have the knowledge that large for she didn't know the reason. As she thought, Ye Jiao needed a proper teacher to teach her this kind of matter.

"Mom, is it weird?" Ye Jiao asked.

Ye Ai Xia shook her head. "You might have some special condition that Mom also doesn't understand. Do you want a proper teacher, Jiao'er?"

Ye Jiao dropped her eyelids. From what she saw, it was indeed possible for her to get a proper teacher, but doing so would mean revealing her talent to other people. When that happened, her mother and father's enemies would come here. There was no one around here who could possibly protect her from them.

"Ye Jiao will become stronger first, Mom," Ye Jiao replied. Her hand touched the necklace that her father gave to her before he left. "Dad says that I have to become stronger and only then I could protect myself, mom, and dad."

Ye Ai Xia smiled slightly. "If that's your decision, I understand."

Ye Jiao looked at her mother with complicated expression. "Mom, do you want me to get a proper teacher?"

"I feel that I didn't do you right because I can't teach you everything," Ye Ai Xia replied. She was not a teacher and her knowledge were extremely limited.

Ye Jiao shook her head rapidly. "No, Mom is a good teacher. Besides, I only need to learn the basic. When I become strong, we can search for a different teacher, Mom."

"You're right," Ye Ai Xia nodded her head. It shouldn't be too late for Ye Jiao to search for a teacher once this girl formed her core or even reached rank 1. She believed that her daughter would be able to achieve them when this girl was still young.

Ye Jiao smiled. "Shall I prepare breakfast, Mom?"

"Come and help me."

"Yes, Mom!"
