"If you want to enter the second door, you must memorize all the martial arts books and alchemy books in the first door."

For the next few days, Bai Ye had been cultivating behind closed doors, and no one had come to her courtyard to disturb her; people seemed to be busy with Bai Xiaoyan.

Within the Fengyi Palace of South Zhao"s Imperial Palace, there lived the most honorable woman in the country.

In the middle of the main hall, a charming woman sat upright in front of the dressing table. Several maidservants were dressing her carefully and attentively. Pleased with herself and content, she took a sniff at the spices she had put on her wrist.

"Reporting to the Empress, the Prime Minister"s wife would like to seek an audience."

"Allow!"

Xi Quidi came in crying in tears and knelt on the ground without saying a word. Bai Xiaoning, the current empress, expressed her displeasure with a frown. She dismissed her servants and helped her mother up.

"Mother, why are you crying like this? Who"s causing you trouble?"

"Ning"er, you must avenge your younger sister!"

Xi Quidi burst into tears and told her eldest daughter the whole story.

Hearing that her sister had become crippled, Bai Xiaoning"s complexion turned ashen, and then she thought that the other concubines in the palace had the opportunity to talk about her as a joke behind her back. Exuberant rage converged into her hand as she slammed it on the table, which shook it to pieces!

Xi Quidi was so frightened that she shrank her neck and dared not continue crying.

"Didn"t you make that lowly girl take the nine red powder a long time ago? How could she be capable of martial arts? And it is the initial stage of Martial Spirit, too?"

"I... I don"t know how this happened. After she woke up, she seemed like a different person, and she seemed more beautiful than ever as well."

Xi Quidi was worried that if Bai Ye, who had been a beauty since childhood, also had a good foundation for cultivation, it would affect the status of her daughters in the Prime Minister"s House. Therefore, when Bai Ye was very young, she began to add a poisoned powder to her meals, but in the end she still failed to prevent it.

"Humph! More beautiful than ever? I"d like to see how capable she is!"

Bai Xiaoning smiled sinisterly. She always detested Xiao Luobing"s talent and the appearance of that half-sister of hers. Since Bai Ye was no longer that stupid trash who couldn"t do anything, then she would make sure that she wouldn"t even have a chance to survive!

"I heard that cousin-brother Duo of my maternal uncle"s family just reached the peak stage of Martial Spirit not long ago, and it happens that the martial arts tournament held by the emperor will be three days from now."

Xi Quidi"s eyes turned and she happily said, "Ning"er, you mean..."

Bai Xiaoning brushed off the dust on her hands, and her phoenix"s eyes narrowed gently, "Let Bai Ye represent the Prime Minister"s House in the tournament, and find a way to force her to not abstain!"

"Brilliant! This tournament is very dangerous; I was originally worried that your younger sister might lose her life!"

Xi Quidi clapped her hands excitedly and thought that what happened to Bai Xiaoyan was a blessing in disguise, and that it was better to have broken toes than to die!

"Rest a.s.sured! The contestants in this tournament will sign the life and death certificate. First, think of a way to get that lowly girl into the semi-finals, and then let my cousin brother take advantage of the chaos to tidy her up! The initial stage of Martial Spirit is basically nothing compared to the peak stage. We can definitely avenge my younger sister!"

Bai Xiaoning lifted her hand and stroked the exquisite bun on her head, then raised the corners of her lips viciously.

"But... What if your father blames him? As I see it, it seems like he already put value on Bai Ye."

Bai Xiaoning shook her head indifferently, "I"ll take care of the big things. Furthermore, dad won"t be stupid. The little swine shall be dead. Do you think he will fight me with his all for a dead person?"

Xi Quidi thought it was reasonable and nodded, "Very well, I"ll go to your uncle as soon as I get out of the palace!"

At the thought of that little wench, who had come out of nowhere and turned her precious daughter into a cripple, she felt an anger she couldn"t vent!
