Chapter 1279: Chapter 1279: The Wheel of Fortune Turns
Ya Ling stared at the noblewoman in confusion for a long ti, and finally, a hint of a smile appeared on her haggard face after many days: "You are... you are Xiao Tao!"
Xiao Tao, her forr little maid, had fought alongside Qin Sisi and Xiao ng when they first arrived at the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, and Xiao Tao had been particularly loyal in protecting her.
Confirming Ya Ling’s identity, Xiao Tao displayed a strange smile and said sarcastically, "Miss Ya Ling, how are you? Xiao Tao greets you."
Ya Ling stood up uneasily. eting an old acquaintance in a foreign place should have been a good thing, but why did she feel that Xiao Tao’s attitude was so strange!
Xiao Tao beckoned, and a man dressed as a servant stepped forward. Xiao Tao instructed, "I know this young lady, Ya Ling. Take her back for ."
"Yes, madam." The servant responded respectfully, stepped forward to take Ya Ling by the arm, and guided her in a certain direction.
"Xiao Tao, where are you taking ?" Ya Ling asked in panic.
Xiao Tao replied with a smile, "Of course, to my house. I am now the Young Madam of the richest Lin family in Stone City. Rest assured, I won’t mistreat you."
Half-believing and half-reluctant, Ya Ling followed Xiao Tao back to the Lin family. To her surprise, Xiao Tao threw a set of clothes on the ground and arrogantly said, "From now on, you are my maid. Hurry up and change into these clothes to start working."
"What? I’m your maid? You’re dreaming!" Ya Ling couldn’t endure such humiliation and imdiately retorted sarcastically.
With a "slap," Xiao Tao delivered a heavy slap, causing Ya Ling to spin several tis, dizzy and seeing stars.
"You don’t have any magic power now and have turned into an ugly freak, yet you still want to put on airs? I’m a magician, you’re no match for . Behave, and I might grant you a al," Xiao Tao warned Ya Ling with pride.
Tears stread down Ya Ling’s face. She choked and asked, "Xiao Tao, why are you treating
like this? We grew up together!"
Fury appeared on Xiao Tao’s face as she replied hatefully, "Why? Because I followed you since childhood, treated you as my everything, always cared for you, and defended you everywhere, how did you treat ? It was clearly your fault, yet your father vented his anger on
and heartlessly expelled
from the Qing Ming Family. At that ti, to whom could I ask why?"
Ya Ling secretly took her along into the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, resulting in punishnt from the school. Ge Lun, therefore, vented his anger on Xiao Tao, expelling her from the Qing Ming Family.
For a prominent family like the Qing Ming Family, expelling a maid was a trifling matter, so small that there was no need to find a reason, not even worth rembering.
But for Xiao Tao, it was a significant matter, one that she could hardly let go of for her entire life.
Her luck was not too bad, though. Although she was just a magician, among ordinary people, that made her quite special.
For an ordinary person to marry soone who had activated the Magic Source, that was a rare blessing.
So, Xiao Tao was favored by the richest Lin family in Stone City, and luckily soared to prosperity, becoming a wife with no worries about food or clothing.
"The wheel of fortune always turns. I’ve been your maid for so long, so it’s only fair you serve
now, isn’t it?" Xiao Tao said sarcastically, waving an embroidered folding fan, and walked away with her head held high.
Ya Ling sobbed and cried for a long ti, eventually putting on the maid’s clothes Xiao Tao had thrown on the ground.
Better a live coward than a dead hero. Perhaps this is how her life’s fate has to be!
Without Ye You’s company, Qin Sisi initially found Miaoyin City sowhat dull for the first couple of days, but she soon adjusted her mood. Since she was here, she would make the best of it. Miaoyin City had many great places to practice Music Magic, perfect for improving her skills during this period.
Several days later, she accidentally noticed Chief Chixun sending items to Wang City and curiously asked him about it. Chief Chixun explained, "Now that the world is newly peaceful, the Sage Ruler surely needs a large number of Spirit Stones and various items. He treats our ilan family so well, naturally, we should express our gratitude."
Qin Sisi suddenly realized and understood so of the difficulties Ye You faced. As a ruler, he could no longer think only of himself. He had to consider all the individuals in the Demon Sacred Realm.
During the years of Tian Xiaozi’s rule, the Demon Sacred Realm was ravaged and needed a large quantity of Spirit Stones for restoration and enhancent.
Thinking about the heavy burden on Ye You’s shoulders, Qin Sisi felt heartache and wished she could sohow help share the burden.
After careful consideration, she realized that her sole avenue for making money was through forging. Unfortunately, her forging skills were only at Level Five. If she could elevate to the Sixth-level, the prices of her crafted items would substantially increase.
Qin Sisi began locking herself in her room, focusing intently on forging, both to improve her skills and to create more items to exchange for Spirit Stones to support Ye You.
Chi Xun noticed Qin Sisi’s urgent desire to upgrade her forging techniques.
Yi Rou had taken Qin Sisi as her goddaughter, which ant she was Chi Xun’s granddaughter. As a grandfather, one ought to give a decent gift before a granddaughter leaves ho.
Thus, Chi Xun presented five million Spirit Stones, telling Qin Sisi to go to the trial tower at the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle to open a multiplier ti session.
When he handed the five million Spirit Stones to Qin Sisi, she was so delighted and moved that she was speechless for a mont. She suddenly darted forward to give Chi Xun a strong hug, beaming brightly, and said, "Thank you, grandfather."
"Heh heh..." Chi Xun laughed foolishly as well. Ever since Yi Rou grew up, she rarely showed him affection. To be honest, getting a hug from a granddaughter felt quite nice.
Looking at the five million Spirit Stones, Qin Sisi hesitated. Should she take them to the trial tower, or hand them over to Ye You directly?
After much deliberation, she decided to go to the trial tower, opening a hundredfold ti session. If she could upgrade to a Sixth-level Forgemaster, she was confident in earning more Spirit Stones.
Yi Rou was pregnant and couldn’t make the journey, so Qin Sisi asked Wen Xuan and Mr. Chen Song to accompany her. Wen Xuan was an erging talent in the ilan Family, in dire need to quickly enhance his strength to take on greater responsibilities.
Chen Song was still brooding over failing to protect Yi Rou during the last assassination attempt, which instead beca a burden to Yi Rou. He also wished to quickly beco stronger so he could protect his wife and unborn child.
Ye You was busy with official duties and had no ti to attend, so Qin Sisi called Xiao ng and Yun Cheng along.
Five million Spirit Stones allowed them to stay in the trial tower at Tianyi Mountain for five days. With the hundredfold ti, that equated to five hundred days, more than a year, enough ti for many things to undergo qualitative changes.
This ti, Qin Sisi’s goal was forging techniques. So she did not try any other magic practices but went directly to the eleventh layer of the trial tower, burying herself in her work with forging techniques.
