Chapter 32: Chapter 32 Family Meeting Chapter 32: Chapter 32 Family Meeting Qiu Da was the first to support father, and Madam Liu could only consent after glancing at her husband and father-in-law.
Qiu Er said with a smile, “It’s good to have them with us; at least on the road father won’t always be cursing people.”
What he meant was that, Old Uncle Qiu’s conversation with Bai Junjun about local customs in the morning was much better than naggings over work for fear of sloth and hardship.
“…” Old Uncle Qiu stared at his sons without a word, “Life is the same, the most dreadful things are complacency, laziness, and the fear of difficulty. By shedding these bad habits and never being self-satisfied, even an ant can move a mountain if it learns and works hard.”
The brief family meeting at Old Uncle Qiu’s house concluded with educating his sons, and a unified opinion was reached regarding the stay of the three siblings Bai Junjun.
They believed that no one would hear their words since the children had gone far away, yet there happened to be two Special Ability Users with sensitive senses.
Bai Junjun and Bai Sasa both heard the conversation of Old Uncle Qiu’s family. How Bai Junjun reacted is one thing, but Bai Sasa was so moved that her eyes reddened.
This was the first time she had received kindness from others in the three years since they had fled.
And this kindness was tremendous, enough to be remembered for the rest of her life.
Bai Junjun rubbed her sister’s head, “Strive to become strong, and repaying them later will suffice.”
Hearing this, Bai Sasa nodded vigorously at her sister.
Xiao Shan ran ahead of everyone, occasionally looking back to urge them, “You are so slow; when will you be able to find any wild vegetables!”
Bai Lingyu helplessly followed him.
With the two children running ahead, only Bai Junjun and Bai Sasa were left behind. Bai Junjun had been thinking of having a private talk with Bai Sasa, and now was the perfect opportunity.
Seizing the rare chance, she directly grabbed Bai Sasa’s slender wrist, closed her eyes, and probed her Qi Sea.
Bai Sasa’s Ability was a white light point, like a spinning vortex surrounded by bright silver light, and this energy continually filled Bai Sasa’s limbs and bones.
The light point of Bai Sasa’s Ability was much larger than the sesame seed-size one in her own body and much more robust.
This indicated that Bai Sasa was in good physical condition.
To enhance a strength-type Ability, there were two methods: one was to drink an energy-enhancing Nutrient Solution, and the other was to continually break through one’s baseline to increase endurance.
Without a doubt, the former was less distressing.
However, purifying an energy potion could only be done by a High-rank Wood-series Ability User, and her current level was almost zero…
So for now, Sasa had to rely on her efforts.
But this harsh environment was quite suitable for Sasa to train her endurance.
Bai Junjun thought about what kind of strength-enhancing training she should set up for Bai Sasa.
Bai Sasa, unaware of her elder sister’s thoughts, felt guilty when she saw her holding her hand with a serious expression.
“Sister, I didn’t mean to hide it from you.”
“?” Bai Junjun was clueless. Hide what from her?
Bai Sasa’s face turned red, “I’ve been stronger than normal people since I was little. I know it’s not good, so I was very careful to conceal it. These days I don’t know what’s going on; I just can’t control my strength… when we get to the city, I’ll be careful not to let anyone find out.”
After Bai Sasa spoke for a while, Bai Junjun understood. So Sasa was worried about being criticized for being a Strongman?
“I mentioned before that we need to forget the past. The distinctions between legitimate and illegitimate, the rules expected of a lady of status, all of that ceases to exist with the fall of the Bai Yang Clan. Besides, if it wasn’t for your strength that carried me from that dangerous place, I might already be dead.”
