Chapter 8 - Ye's Mansion

Not long after three months Tan Jiki brought in Ye's mansion she actually behaves towards Ye Xiao Xi, she is now becoming so called human. Tan Jiki also told to old Ye Xiao Xi about how she end up to deal with the Chief Lady of Brothel in Green Wind and her mother's servant, Xiu Xei Fing. The old Ye's and his subordinates knows her disfigured face and they take her as their Mistress without questions as long as Ye Xiao Xi proclaimed her as grand daughter, though in their heart they had questions but they must keep it. Her current condition make her body continuously weak due to poison inflicted her. All her time spending in library learning about this world, she almost read thousands books placed in Ye's mansion including Book of Cultivation, Techniques Spiritual Energy, Thousands Herbs . One problem she can't do is to cultivate her qi in order to start her cultivation, she need first to nullify the poison in her owned body to open her dantian in order to flow her qi in her meridians though she needs to find the herbs for poison in Black Jungle Forest.

"Mistress, this humbly servant sent by master to inform you that you will go to his study room"

Li Shi Ming is her new maidservant sent by Ye Xiao Xi to protect and serve her for any circumstances. She did not mind to put her veil while she stayed in her own courtyard.

"Okay, you can go" Her cold aura still emitted in her body. Tan Jiki's maids knows that their mistress is uncalculated so they should behaves or else  they can't afford to deal with her temperament. When her maid servant look at her mistress on foot she bite her lips not say some that can offend her mistress, to think their young lady isn't the same others women in capital. She hope her mistress will not bullied by others.

"Mistress please put on your shoes" Li Shi Ming had difficulties towards her mistress characters because she always caught her on  feet.  As her maid Li Shi Ming should be responsible for every action of her mistress.

"Mmm" Tan Jiki gived her cold shoulder and her cold aura emersed in her room.  So Li Shi Ming did not push her own suggestions or else her mistress kicked her out.

As Tan Jiki's maid left, she covered her face with veil and went ahead to Ye Xiao Xi's study room.

When the guard shadow see her, he bow his head and open the door. Walking towards the old man makes

"Grandpa what's the matter?" The Old Ye know that her adopted grand daughter is straight to the point person. He smiled and wave his hand to let her to come closer to his table.

" Take a seat Yunning, this grandpa wanted you to had meal with me since you had no time for your old, you always faced books in library." Old Ye's requested as his lips pouted, he is childish yet scheming old man.

"Old grandpa I know you had something in your mind you wanted to tell me"

"Hahaha... you know grandpa very well! Aside from eating meals together I want something to discuss with, Shadow tell to our maids to prepare dinner." After shadow left the room, he took off the small scroll in her table and gently push to Tan Jiki. His mouth curved mischievously

"Mmm, entrance exam for White Heaven Academy? Grandpa do you mean I need to attend school?" Tan Jiki knows what  he meant to. He wanted her to get enter in academy for her security. If she stayed in Ye's mansion the enemies of an old man knew that his grand daughter is alive they will hunt her down.

Besides Tan Jiki heard that the Crown prince and Tan Kai Shi was successfully engaged and their marriage had properly announced for next new year but at the meantime they took entrance exam in White Heaven Academy a d attending school.

Hmm..its payback time with huge interest. Her lips twisted  wickedly.

"Yes, you know my reason very well, I can't afford to let you unsecured. By the way you want Grandpa help you to recover your old self?" The old man look at her with worried face but Tan Jiki shake her head and grinned.

"Not now grandpa, this little one need is herbs to nullify poison." Remembering that she didn't told about this to Old Ye's, she hides her guilt. When it heard by old Ye's, his eyes widened and look extremely worried to his grand daughter face.

"That's why these past few week you didn recover? Who poisoned you!" He shriek fiercely. His aura turn to murderous demeanor.

Tan Jiki turn her head not to feel guilty to her grandpa.

"Grandpa I did not intend to keep it in you, I was poisoned and I discovered before you met me in town and this poison is not ordinary one to cure." Tan Jiki explained as she looked her grandfather sincerely in order to gratify his grievance.

"Ugh! If you still remembered who are this evils keep you harmed I will punish them extremely! But don't worry grandpa will find ways to nullify that poison." He deliberately spoke to his grand daughter. He did not know Tan Jiki had still her memories even in her past life but she don't want to let the old man to get harmed just like her mother's slave before so she need to be careful. Her enemies is not easy to deal with because of their influential power.

"Relax grandpa this poison is not fatal but it means I have time to deal with, this little one had request to grandpa."

"What is it my grand daughter?" Old Ye's heart still shrink.

"I will travel to Black Jungle Forest." Tan Jiki requesting and stare her grandfather as her hands took of the piece of paper and study its contents. Great she did not need to take entrance exam but I need to take act an advance.

"B-But that forest is dangerous for your safety! We can asked someone to help us with or I can buy it in Black Market"

Ye Xiao Xi exclaimed, he is not convincing to let Tan Jiki to take her own travel.

"I can handle myself just trust me..this not ordinary herb grandpa even Black market does not have this in their hands."

"You mean it is really rare? If it does, you face danger along your way!" Now he is extremely worried yet his angry faced shown in his wrinkled face as he touch his neck to control his temper.

"Yes but I will manage to come back grandpa.." Tan Jiki give her assurance smiled and sincerely look at his chincky eyes.

Old Ye's understand that his adopted grand daughter had potential and he could not stop her but in her current state she might be failed and it scares him. 

"As this old man cannot hold your decision anymore but let me bring you shadow guard for your own safety. You should promise to this old man to come back!" He authoritatively suggest as his mouth pouted again and wave his hands to bring the dishes. Without questions she nodded her heads and blew heavy sighed and keep the letter.

The old man Ye's and Tan Jiki had great meal though the old man is not necessarily to take his meal three times a day since he is in ninth heavenly realm but for sake of his grand daughter he tend to enjoy every moments with her.
