On the second floor's suspended terrace, Old Master Xi and the Ye family members were sitting together.
Xi Fanru, who was nearly eighty years old and had a full head of white hair, looked at the slender figure without saying a word.
Although his health had been deteriorating over the past two years and he was already old, he was fully alert in his mind. At the end of the day, it was his grandson who was in the wrong in the first place. Even if Sisi's actions embarrassed the Xi family, he couldn't find it in his heart to blame her.
Ye Si's father, Ye Changfeng, was extremely startled by Ye Si's action. He quickly apologized, "Uncle Xi… Er, no, Chairman Xi, it's all my fault for not disciplining Sisi well enough. That's why she did such a ridiculous thing. I'll go and teach her a lesson now. Please don't be angry and take care of your health."
Ye Si's mother Qin Shiyu also added quickly, "That's right, Chairman Xi. Sisi might have said that because she was taking things too hard. You know how much she loves Third Master. Please forgive her for being so willful this time on account of her infatuation."
Ye Si pushed the door open and entered the room as soon as the two elders finished speaking.
Ye Si knew that if there was anything wrong with what she had done, it would be that she had let Grandpa Xi down, who had protected her with all his heart in her previous life.
She half-kneeled at Xi Fanru's feet and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Grandpa Xi. You know that Third Master doesn't love me, and I have also thought it through. I have disrespected the Xi family in a moment of impulse. I hope Grandpa Xi can forgive me."
The old man reached out to help Ye Si up. He said in a faltering voice, "Sisi, get up quickly. Grandpa knows that he has hurt your feelings. If doing this can make you feel better, then let it be."
A warm sensation overwhelmed Ye Si's heart when she heard this. The old man in front of her still loved her as much as he did in her previous life. It was a pity that she did not have the good fortune to be his granddaughter-in-law.
However, she would repay him in other ways.
When she got up, Ye Si took the opportunity to feel the old man's pulse. His pulse was heavy but weak. He was really at an advanced stage of his illness and didn't have much time left.
Fortunately, after Ye Si died in her previous life, her soul had gone to the Land of Eternal Void by chance. Thereafter, she was reborn as a disciple of the Mystical Divine Enigma sect and trained there until she achieved the Mystical Sight ability. A hundred years later, she had grown to become the most powerful oracle in the Land of Eternal Void.
In his spare time, the sect master also taught Ye Si some medical skills. Although she didn't have enough spiritual energy to activate her Mystical Sight, the medical skills she learned were still in her brain.
If she could locate some spiritual ginseng and use it with the Nine-cycles Soul Restoration Needles, then Grandpa Xi's life could still be saved.
When Ye Si thought of this, she activated a mental thought and a golden light suddenly flashed in her sea of consciousness. However, in just a second, the golden light vanished.
Her rebirth had used up almost all of her spiritual energy.
Fortunately, the spiritual energy-gathering body that she had cultivated with great difficulty still existed!
This meant that even in the modern world where spiritual energy was thin, Ye Si could gradually recover to her peak state by absorbing spiritual energy!
As long as she could draw spiritual energy into her body, she would be able to deploy the Nine-cycles Soul Restoration Needles!
Ye Si sat down next to Xi Fanru. "Grandpa Xi, you have treated me so well. I'll definitely repay your kindness."
Xi Fanru smiled affectionately and suddenly coughed a few times. Ye Si quickly reached out and patted his back.
She varied the amount of force used and the speed of patting. After a while, Xi Fanru stopped coughing.
"Sisi, your hands are so skillful. I feel much better now."
Ye Si smiled faintly. "That's because Grandpa Xi has a good constitution. I only patted your back casually."
"Dad, Mom, please keep Grandpa Xi company for this meal. I have something urgent to attend to and must leave for a while."
Ye Si hurried out of the private dining room. She walked very quickly and swiped on her phone screen as she walked.
Suddenly, her head hit something violently. She looked up and her eyes met the icy glare on Xi Zhimo's extremely handsome face.
"Don't you have eyes? Don't you know how to give way?"
Ye Si was extremely arrogant.
Xi Zhimo's tall and straight figure stood in front of her. With his 188 cm height and the sharp demeanor of one who was superior to others, he looked down at her like an emperor and interrogated her. "Other than this, don't you have anything else to say?"
"No, I don't," Ye Si replied decisively.
The man straightened his bow tie as he tried to suppress his anger. "Do you need me to remind you what you did five minutes ago?"
"Oh, I have something to say." Ye Si's expression was stony. She looked at Xi Zhimo with her beautiful eyes and said solemnly, "I, Ye Si, dumped you! You can get lost now."
After Ye Si finished speaking, she was about to stalk off when someone grabbed her wrist forcefully.
"Our marriage contract has always been Grandpa's idea. Don't act like I owe you!"
"Mr. Xi, men and women should keep their distance. From now on, we don't owe each other anything."
Ye Si shook off Xi Zhimo's hand, and her departing silhouette had never looked more carefree and determined.
Xi Zhimo's heart suddenly sank, as if something had stealthily stabbed his heart. It felt both painful and itchy.
His fist slammed into the glass wall vehemently, and the broken glass fragments became embedded into his flesh. His eyes were as bloodshot as the blood that flowed out.
His personal aide, Mu Feng, ran over in a hurry. "Third Master, are you alright? I'll send you to the hospital now!"
