"Clan Guardian?"
Shi Qing and the other won were startled by this title.
At their level, they naturally knew what a Clan Guardian was.
It's a special institution that only so illustrious families possess.
Generally speaking, without a foundation of over a hundred years, it's unlikely to have such an institution.
Take Jiang City for example; there isn't yet a force there that can claim a Clan Guardian.
Only in Provincial Capital Nandu are there family forces with such history.
Those who can beco Clan Guardians are individuals of extraordinary strength.
An ordinary Martial Arts Grandmaster wouldn't be strong enough to beco a Clan Guardian of a centennial family.
From this, it can be seen that Ye Qingi, even in a place like Nandu, where talents are abundant, was among the best.
However, what was even more surprising is that such a powerful existence chose to retire in Jiang City, becoming the owner of an ordinary flower shop.
Why Ye Qingi made such a choice was indeed perplexing to many.
On the other hand, Jiang Banxia, upon hearing Grandma Qiu call out 'Clan Guardian', seed to recall sothing and looked excitedly at Ye Qingi: "Ye Race Envoy, do you rember ? I'm little Xia, you even taught about hidden weapons."
"So it's little Xia. In a blink of an eye, you've beco a young lady."
eting an old acquaintance, Ye Qingi was delighted. Holding Jiang Banxia's hand, she reflected, "Ti flies so fast. Eleven years have passed in the blink of an eye. How is your mother doing?"
"My mom...she's gone."
A trace of sadness flitted across Jiang Banxia's eyes, but she quickly smiled again: "Ye Race Envoy, it's such a pleasure to see you again. Why don't you co back to the Jiang Family with ?"
"Jiang Family?"
Ye Qingi shook her head with a smile, "The Jiang Family was just a temporary stop for . If it weren't for your mother's enthusiastic invitation, promising a peaceful place to stay, I wouldn't have beco the Jiang Family's Clan Guardian."
With these words, she politely declined Jiang Banxia's invitation.
Jiang Banxia was slightly disappointed. If she had Ye Qingi's help, her upcoming plans would go much more smoothly.
"By the way, little Xia, have you started your own family yet?" Ye Qingi changed the subject.
"I haven't, not yet." Jiang Banxia replied, snapping back to reality.
Ye Qingi sighed once more: "I rember when I ntioned to your mother that I had an adopted son living in the countryside, she even talked about betrothing you to my son. But before I could make the introduction, you already knew Little Chuan—it must be fate."
"Ah?"
These words left Jiang Banxia completely stunned, not expecting Ye Qingi to suddenly spring this on her.
Was it just a coincidence, or was she trying to matchmake her with Qin Chuan?
Could it be that Ye Qingi wanted her to beco Qin Chuan's woman as well?
anwhile, Shi Qing felt a tinge of jealousy upon hearing this.
What was Grandma up to, introducing other won to Qin Chuan while she was still right there?
Indeed!
Mothers always side with their sons.
Just as jealousy surged in her heart, Ye Qingi held Shi Qing's hand, inviting her to sit beside her.
Shi Qing was pleasantly surprised by this attention.
This grandmother was not an ordinary person; she was the infamous Demoness and the Clan Guardian of a century-old family in Nandu.
In her presence, Shi Qing felt her position as the manager of Obsidian Capital was nothing.
Ye Qingi also beckoned Li Qinyi over.
With one on each side, Ye Qingi held their hands, placing them gently on her lap: "Li Qinyi, Qing'Er, Little Chuan's situation is a bit special. Sorry for the trouble."
Shi Qing felt ward by her words.
Li Qinyi, however, was feeling guilty, shaking her head like a rattle drum: "No, no trouble at all."
Ye Qingi smiled in relief and then asked everyone to wait outside, leaving only Qin Chuan inside.
"Little Chuan, do you bla Aunt i for not being upfront about her identity before?" Ye Qingi asked.
Qin Chuan shook his head: "Aunt i is Aunt i. I don't care about your identity or what you've done before."
"Silly child."
Ye Qingi affectionately ruffled Qin Chuan's hair: "There are so things you should know by now."
"I'll listen when Aunt i speaks." Qin Chuan said obediently.
"Aunt i is not from Jiang City, nor from Nandu, and not even from the Southern Province."
Ye Qingi began to narrate: "Aunt i, like your adopted father, cos from the Capital City. Your adopted father, Qin Yao, was known in the martial world as Master Yao, quite the figure in the Capital."
"Unfortunately, he offended soone sohow, and the empire he painstakingly built was destroyed overnight. He couldn't even protect his own daughter, so he entrusted to take her away."
"I fled with Xixi, traveling to many places, and finally, as your adoptive father instructed, settled in Jiang City."
Ye Qingi briefly explained her identity and background, then solemnly reminded Qin Chuan: "Your adopted father said, never return to the Capital until you've reached Foundation Establishnt. Rember, always be cautious of people from the Capital."
Qin Chuan listened and nodded seriously: "I understand, Aunt i."
"Don't tell Xixi about today—it'll only worry her." Ye Qingi reminded once more.
"Don't worry, Aunt i, I've got it."
Qin Chuan gave Ye Qingi a reassuring gaze, then channeled Spiritual Power again to help her nourish her ridians.
After Ye Qingi's condition stabilized, Qin Chuan assisted her out of the ward.
"Thank you all for today. Co visit ho so ti, and Auntie will cook sothing delicious for you." Ye Qingi said warmly.
At this mont, she seed not distant at all, in fact, Shi Qing and the others felt an imnse sense of closeness, as if Ye Qingi was just an ordinary woman.
"I'll station so people to keep watch near your ho." Shi Qing whispered to Qin Chuan.
"Alright, thank you, Qing'Er." Qin Chuan expressed his gratitude.
"You're my good puppy; no thanks necessary."
Shi Qing chuckled, then whispered in Qin Chuan's ear: "Just repay with so effort in bed."
Qin Chuan blushed instantly.
He noticed that ever since Shi Qing tasted the sweetness from him, this cold queen transford into soone insatiable, almost addicted, wanting to spend twenty-four hours in the bed with him.
Nevertheless, Shi Qing's desperate protection today really moved him.
If it hadn't been for the delay, Ye Qingi might have perished already.
"I'll escort Aunt i ho first, then I'll co to your place to help with your injury." Qin Chuan reassured.
As soon as Shi Qing heard this, she turned dramatically, leaning against Qin Chuan: "Then you must keep your word. I feel severely hurt; you need to give a good acupuncture treatnt this afternoon."
"Alright, alright..."
Qin Chuan agreed with a laugh but soon realized, tugging at her nose: "Look down on who? At the very least, I'm more like a stick than a needle!"
Shi Qing smiled seductively: "Then Qing'Er will go ho and wash up, waiting for you..."
