Previously, Master Si was unwilling to be involved in the internal fighting within the Ye family. However, his heart was wavering now.

If the Great Elder of the Ye family returned and were to harm Ye Qingtang, the Si family would not sit about and do nothing!

Si Ye nodded.

Master Physician Xu was ready to consult Ye Qingtang on how to grind the scales of the Fiery Sunset Beast into powder, but she cleverly changed the topic to something else.

She did not intend to casually let out the fact that she had the advantage of rebirth.

She had used two lives to trade for the Si family’s trust. This was all expected.

Step by step, she already had it all planned this lifetime.

After leaving the Si family, Ye Qingtang went straight back to the Ye family. She took out the Floating Pagoda in her space ring and started cultivating with a calm heart.

Regardless of her external support, she still had to rely on herself and collect the blood debt from her past life.

…

The days passed by quickly, and Lin Town welcomed a significant gathering.

The Worship Ceremony represented an auspicious omen where family clans in Lin town prayed for the happiness of all citizens. During the ceremony, family clan members would proceed to the worship stage and contribute to the prosperity of Lin Town.

On the day of the Worship Ceremony, Lin Town was decorated with lanterns and festoons along with a tall and huge worship stage in the central public square. Although it was not yet time for the worship, the citizens had already proceeded towards the worship stage early to wait for the start of the ceremony.

On the wide worship stage stood a spinning wheel made from Giant Dragon Stones. Its carvings were clearly visible: a few lifelike Giant Dragons were carved on the spinning wheel as if it would spring out alive the next moment.

This spinning wheel had been passed down for centuries. Hundreds of years ago, Lin Town had been met with natural disasters, and its people had no means of survival. Suddenly, a mighty figure appeared. In order to suppress the disaster, he took great pains to find the Giant Dragon Stone and hundreds of craftsmen, and after months of crafting, the stone turned into a spinning wheel. Whenever the spinning wheel was spinning, the emitted dragon’s breath would suppress the evil and shower the town with blessings.

For hundreds of years, Lin Town had been safe, and the worship ceremony was passed down. To the citizens, this was an act of seeking blessings for Lin Town from heaven, but in the eyes of the family clans, the worship ceremony was a battlefield to showcase their power.

The spinning wheel was extremely heavy, and one had to be at least of Connate Level 5 to spin the wheel. Each family clan took turns to spin the wheel, and a clan’s power was measured by the number of times the wheel was spun by the disciples.

“Amongst the Duan, Ye, and Si family clan, I wonder which clan’s disciple will be able to spin the most number of times in the worship ceremony this year,” noted the citizens as they waited for the start of the ceremony.

“There are outstanding disciples in all three great family clans. Previously, the Ye family had the greatest chance of winning as the Young Lady of the Ye family, Ye Qingtang, had a supreme-grade spirit root. Her talent could not be compared to those of ordinary people, and only Si Bai from the Si family could compete with her.”

“Although Si Bai was very talented, he was born with a weak body. He didn’t participate in the spinning of the wheel in previous years, and I reckon he won’t participate this year as well.”

“Ye Qingtang? I thought I heard that her spirit root broke?”

“Yes, it broke, that’s why it’s such a pity.”

“However, I heard that there was another lady in the Ye family, Ye You, who was accepted into Yunxiao Sect as a disciple some time ago. It seems that even though the Ye family lost Ye Qingtang, they gained Ye You. However, Ye You has been accepted as a disciple by the Yunxiao Sect Sect Master and has headed for the Yunxiao Sect. She probably will not participate this year.”
