Living in Ye Ai Xia's residence was not that bad at all. Ye Jiao spent her day to do the physical exercise that her father taught her and learned the knowledge that Ye Ai Xia gave her from books. Aside from servants who came occasionally to give foods, no one else came to the secluded residence.
"…., 97, 98, 99, 100."
Ye Jiao laid down on the ground after she had finished 100 push-ups. Her father told her to do these exercises every day to make sure that her physical strength matched up with the increase of Eon Energy in her body.
'But it's really slow.'
After more than one year since she first learnt how to absorb Eon Energy, Ye Jiao realized that her progress was quite slow. The core would still take a long time to make. With the insane amount of Eon Energy she absorbed every day, Ye Jiao thought that she would be able to form the core soon.
But it was just her dream.
"It's already evening. Seems like I'm training too long today," Ye Jiao scratched the back of her head. She had just finished the fourth set for the day, but she spent a long time to finish them all.
'Hm? There's someone?'
Her keen sense caught someone walking in her direction. No, it was not just one, but two people. Ye Jiao furrowed her brows as she stood up and cleaned the dust on her clothes. There was rarely anyone who would visit this place because of the secluded location, but it didn't mean there was none at all.
At times, she could hear the voices of other people not far from the residence. Most of them just passed through to go to other places, but today, it was different.
Two people entered her field of vision.
One of them was a young man around the age of 13 years old. He has dark brown hair with sharp features. His eyes and eyebrows made him looked rather scary for a boy his age. The clothes he wore was rather good, bright red robe with a long sword hanging on his hips.
As for the other one, Ye Jiao was familiar with her. She is Wei Mi, the second miss of Wei Residence and also the fourth child. In the past, she clashed with this little girl a few times. Their encounter might be brief, but all of them left a bad impression.
"Brother Cheng, this is the trash that I told you before," Wei Mi jeered as she looked at Ye Jiao.
Brother Cheng?
Wei Cheng?
Ye Jiao's mind spun hard as she tried to remember the name. The first son of Wei Residence has the name Wei Cheng. He was known to be talented and has recently formed his core.
Formed his core? Ye Jiao's instinct told her that she shouldn't stay here any longer. If they wanted to create trouble and beat her up, her measly power wouldn't be able to contend against someone who had formed his core.
Forming one's core didn't mean that he has become Eon Master, but he has stepped into the path to become one. Without the core, they wouldn't be able to become a master.
"This is the trash?" Wei Cheng looked at Ye Jiao with disinterest. What he saw was only a small young girl at the age of seven standing in front of him. Without any talent or whatsoever, there was no way this girl could match against him.
"Yes,"
"I haven't greeted you for coming here before, have I?"
Wei Chang glanced for a moment before activating his core. He had just formed it recently, so his control was not too good. However, for ordinary people, it was enough to give them pressure to their body because of the impact.
"Don't you know that you have to kneel down when meeting with the masters in Wei Family?" the boy asked in cold voice.
Ye Jiao gritted her teeth as she endured the sudden pressure. Compared with the killing intent from the beasts, this was nothing much. Internally, she circulated her own Eon Energy to withstand the pressure as it would surely make her fall down.
"Brother Cheng, can you restrain your power a bit?" Wei Mi felt that it was hard to breathe all of the sudden.
Wei Cheng frowned. He really should learn how to control his power better. "Sorry, Mi'er. I just want to teach this trash a lesson."
"It's fine," Wei Mi smiled sweetly.
Ye Jiao really wished to kick this pair of brother and sister. She had heard from Ye Ai Xia that Wei Cheng and Wei Mi were the children of Su Lian, the legal wife. The two of them have higher status compared with other children, so they acted more arrogant than the others.
Wei Cheng turned his attention back to Ye Jiao.
"Why are you still standing like that? This is Wei Residence and here, you have to follow our rules!"
Wei Mi sneered. "She might be a mute, Cheng Ge."
"Oh? Really?"
Ye Jiao noticed that Wei Cheng had extended his arm towards her. She wanted to move her body, but her limbs felt all heavy. It seemed as if her body was sealed off. Gritting her teeth, she focused her attention to her feet and forced it to move. The sudden movement caused her body to become unstable, and she fell to the ground in sitting position.
"How weak," Wei Mi giggled, clearly forgotten that she herself also unable to withstand the pressure coming from her brother.
Wei Cheng snorted. "Trashes like them should just be ignored. Scram and don't come to the outer layer anymore."
Ye Jiao didn't move from her position as she watched the two of them laughing. Her hand was gripping the ground as they were trembling in anger. If only it was possible, she wished to smack the two of them right in the face.
Wei Cheng noticed her trembling arm. He thought that the girl was scared, so she was unable to move. "In front of absolute power, a trash like you can't do anything. Let's go, Mi'er."
"Yes, Cheng Ge," Wei Mi replied coquettishly and hugged her brother's arm. She sneered as she felt happy to see Ye Jiao being pushed around like that. After the incident in the academy, she had longed to see Ye Jiao got what she deserved as trash. Now, she felt truly elated.
'A trash should know their place.'
