Others are still struggling, but I am just slacking off.

The moon sets at Yin hour and the sky is filled with morning glow.

Muhua Village

Some diligent villagers have begun to prepare for a new day of work, carrying farm tools and walking slowly to their fields.

"Ting'er, Shui'er, it's time to get up and get ready to go to Jinnan City!"

The shouts of Qianshan Peak sound particularly loud at the foot of the silent mountain.

They are the only family within a mile of the foot of Muhua Mountain.

"coming"

"Woke up"

Qian Yuting and Qian Yushui responded at the same time.

"Biwan, are all the things ready?" Qian Shanfeng returned to the room and looked at Wang Biwan.

"I have packed everything. Most of the things have been put into the storage space. I only have two bundles, some clothes to change, and a few pieces of silver.

I have told Haotinger and Shuier to wear something a little worn out, but make sure it is clean. If they take the Ignore Me Pill, they won’t be suspected.”

"Don't worry. I told them to be careful with their words and remember that they are children from Muhua Village. They should not show their carefree attitude at home."

Wang Biwan told the story slowly and clearly.

"Madam is so thoughtful. What more could a husband ask for?"

Qianshanfeng teased.

"Mom and Dad, we are fine"

Qian Yushui and his sister walked into the main room carrying a small bag.

“Ting’er, when we get to Jinnan City, our family needs to be more timid. We can’t let our parents handle things like we usually do at home.”

"Shui'er, your parents hope that you can be more reserved and not as lively as you are at home. This will give outsiders the impression that our family is more patriarchal than female. Let's wait until we get to Hualing Sect and see how things turn out."

Qian Shanfeng reminded him again worriedly.

"Got it, Dad."

"Okay, Dad."

"Then let's go"

Qian Shanfeng nodded.

Muhua Village is fifty miles away from Jinnan City, and the family’s carriage is temporarily left to the village chief.

When Qian Yushui and his family arrived in Jinnan City, it was already three quarters past the hour of Mao.

"Yesterday, two children were accepted as disciples by the Hualing Sect. The child with three spiritual roots is a disciple of the first-class Fang family, and the child with five spiritual roots is an heir of the first-class Huo family."

“I wonder how many there will be today?”

“Even if there are a few, it won’t be you.”

"My child's spiritual roots were tested yesterday, but unfortunately the child has no spiritual roots."

The old man shook his head, his face full of regret, "I just came here to join in the fun today."

"Only one child with spiritual roots will appear among ten thousand"

Jinnan City was full of people discussing the issue of Hualing Sect recruiting disciples.

"Children, let's go"

Qian Shanfeng, his wife and two children followed the crowd to Fangzheng Square.

"Shui'er, go get in line. Your parents and your brother will be watching you and cheering for you."

Qian Shanfeng is very confident.

"Mom and Dad, I'll go and line up first. Brother, take good care of Mom and Dad."

Qian Yushui raised her sallow face with a dim look in her eyes.

Her facial features seem more ordinary, and her appearance has not changed compared to yesterday, but her temperament has become more subtle, which will make people ignore her even more.

Qian Yuting nodded in response and looked at his sister hopefully.

Qian Yushui picked a team at random.

Testing is underway at the front of the line.

"No spiritual roots"

"No spiritual roots"

"No spiritual roots"

……

The team moved forward slowly, with people constantly catching up from behind.

Finally it's Qian Yushui's turn

"Stand on the right, bone age is seven years old

Come here and put your hand on the spirit stone, don't think about anything else."

Qian Yushui did as he was told, closed his eyes and cleared his mind.

The spirit stone emitted a faint colorful light.

"Ah! Yes!"

"Come out! Come out!"

"Okay, five spiritual roots of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Gold spiritual root 68, wood spiritual root 67, water spiritual root 68, fire spiritual root 65, earth spiritual root 63. What's the name?"

"Muhua Village, Thousand Jade Water"

Qian Yushui lowered her head and responded in a low voice.

"Come behind me"

Qian Yushui lowered her head and did as she was told, then stood aside without looking at him any further.

"Brother Fang, in the small city of Jinnan, we have already detected three in less than two days. Now our mission is accomplished."

Fang Hao smiled and nodded and shook his head.

"It's really good, but it's definitely not comparable to Yunjin City."

"Last time, Yunjin City detected eighty-six spiritual roots, two with single spiritual roots, eight with double spiritual roots, twenty-two with three spiritual roots, and the rest were four spiritual roots and mixed spiritual roots."

"I wonder what the situation will be like this year? Senior Brother Fang, should we go back to the sect directly or go to Yunjin City to join other brothers?"

Xiao Yi wanted to go to Yunjin City to see the world.

Qian Yushui got a little nervous when she heard this, now she knew a little about the family affairs.

"Go back to the sect directly."

Fang Hao was testing the child and responded to his junior brother.

After hearing this, Qian Yushui breathed a sigh of relief.

“I wonder if there will be single spiritual roots in Jinnan City this year?”

"How can a person with only one spiritual root appear so easily? How can Senior Brother Fang's talent be compared to others?"

[That’s not necessarily true. My brother is better than him, but he can’t come to take the test. Alas!]

Qian Yushui complained to Xiao 8 in her heart

"Host, do you want me to take the test as well?"

"There's nothing I can do about it."

Qian Yushui suddenly thought of something, her heart tightened, and she said cautiously, "Xiao 8, what do you mean...?"

"I can help you cover up. I can give you as many spiritual roots as you want."

Xiao 8 shouldn’t be so arrogant, he is no longer the rookie he was back then, huh!

"Wow! Xiao 8, you are so awesome. Now I can go to Hualing Sect and ask my parents and brother for their opinions later."

“That’s right, I’m omnipotent.”

A smile finally appeared on Qian Yushui's face.

No need to feel sorry for my brother anymore.

She quickly lowered her head.

She was afraid that others would see her good mood.

The sun was getting higher, the weather was getting hotter, my mouth was getting drier, and my stomach was getting hungrier.

“Gurgle! Gurgle!”

Qian Yushui was so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back.

"I have walked fifty miles since I got up, and I only ate two whole-grain cakes. I also waited in line for such a long time. I am almost fainting from hunger."

[Host, do you want to eat something secretly?]

"Do I dare to do that in public? Where does the food come from?"

Everyone was chatting silently. Qian Yushui was not embarrassed. Anyway, she lowered her head and no one could see her. Besides, she was still young, so it was normal for her to be hungry.

"what sound?"

"Qian Yushui, go downstairs and eat something first, and gather here at twilight hour tomorrow."

Fang Hao finally remembered that there was a poor little sister who had not yet started fasting.

"Yes" Qian Yushui bowed his head and retreated

I walked into the crowd, saw my parents and brother, and quickly ran towards where my family was.

"Dad, my sister is here"

A happy smile appeared on Qian Yuting's little face.

"After we meet Shui'er, let's go eat something first. Ting'er should be hungry too, right?"

Wang Biwan suggested.

"A little bit," Qian Yuting nodded honestly.

"Father, mother, brother"

Qian Yushui walked up to the three of them and greeted them.

The whole family tried to go to places with fewer people.

"Now is not the time to talk, let's go eat something first. Dad bought a small yard in Jinnan City a while ago, let's go and rest first."

"When did Dad buy it?"

Qian Yushui’s worries were resolved and she felt a little excited.

"Before Ting'er was born, it was convenient for us to come to Jinnan City to sell prey and have a place to rest."

The yard is not far from Fangzheng Square, only a quarter of an hour's walk away.

Qian Yushui looked around the courtyard. It looked like a quadrangular courtyard, with a wooden door in front, a wing room on each side, three main rooms, a bedroom, a main room, and a kitchen.

“Although it’s not a brick house, it’s big enough to live in and it’s fairly clean.”

Qian Yuting looked around and was very satisfied.

"Don't worry, someone will come to clean every three days. Biwan, go and have dinner first!"

Qian Shanfeng was the first to walk towards the main hall.

"Let's go, my mother has already prepared the things!"

Wang Biwan took out food from the storage space and placed it on the wooden table.

The four of them sat down around the table, not being polite, as they were really hungry.

"Mom and Dad, let my brother take the test as well. Treasures can be concealed. It will be difficult for a mixed spiritual root to take away Mom and Dad and my brother."

Qian Yushui finished eating and suggested while touching her belly.

"I will help you disguise it as having dual spiritual roots. This way, you can become my personal disciple, but it won't be as conspicuous as having only one spiritual root. Do you have the spiritual roots you want?"

Qian Yuting thought for a while.

"You must have a lightning root, but the value should not be too high, around 75 is fine, and a fire root, below 50."

"I usually only use my thunder spirit root so I won't be easily exposed."

"After I enter the sect and become a direct disciple, I will choose a courtyard far away to pick up my parents and sister. I will have to put them in a difficult position when the time comes."

"Ting'er, as long as you and your brother and sister are together, your parents will not feel wronged. You are just a menial disciple."

Wang Biwan shook her head to indicate that she didn't care.

"Ting'er, go take the test tomorrow. I don't think there will be many people taking the test, so it won't be too noticeable."

"it is good"

"You guys take a good rest today, I'll go do some shopping"

Qian Shanfeng finished speaking, stood up and walked out.
