One issue—you didn’t ask, and I didn’t tell, and as a result, it turned into a big problem, a big hassle, and even a big misunderstanding.
"This... you will know in the future."
"Teacher, I want to know now. I want to see if I can help you," Xu Jin asked.
"You definitely can’t help me now! You strive to cultivate, and with your talent and practical combat ability, you will be able to help me once you reach the mid to late period of Star Condensation.
For now, I’m just trying my luck," Ning Yuchan said.
"Galaxy Battlefield." This time, Ning Yuchan did give an answer.
"What luck are you trying?"
"You will know later." As she said these words, Ning Yuchan’s gaze unintentionally swept over her lame leg, and Xu Jin instantly understood.
He couldn’t ask anymore; to keep questioning would be hurtful.
What remained was for Xu Jin to diligently cultivate, striving to assist Ning Yuchan as soon as possible.
"When are you going?" Xu Jin asked.
"It depends on you. I succeeded in my recent exams with three A+ grades, not only promoting my rank as desired but also receiving an extra reward to cultivate secretly in the Star-picking Tower and to learn a fourth-tier and a fifth-tier Star Pattern.
To see if there’s a possibility of breaking through to the Gathering Battle Realm!
If I can breakthrough, my self-defense capability in the Galaxy Battlefield would be much stronger," Ning Yuchan explained.
"Then I’ll hurry, by tomorrow," Xu Jin instantly decided.
Not knowing when Ning Yuchan would go to the Galaxy Battlefield, but he absolutely could not delay Ning Yuchan’s cultivation time.
Every additional minute of Ning Yuchan’s cultivation time made her future self-defense capability stronger.
Just as Xu Jin was about to leave, Ning Yuchan suddenly called him back. Xu Jin thought she was going to ask about refining the God Golden Pill, but unexpectedly, Ning Yuchan started asking about Xu Jin’s opinion on his sister Jiang’er’s Star Pointing.
"Xu Jin, if you want your sister to walk the path of cultivation, then if possible, it’s still best to go for Star Pointing at the National Taoist Institute. The cultivation resources at the National Taoist Institute are completely different, and so is the foundation.
Like Wang Weisheng, if he had done Star Pointing at the National Taoist Institute, he wouldn’t have needed to waste half a year to become a core disciple, and might even have had a chance to become a True Disciple.
For the path of cultivation, it’s better to be stronger," Ning Yuchan said.
"Do you mean that I should take Jiang’er with me to the National Taoist Institute and have her undergo Star Pointing there?" Xu Jin asked.
"It’s up to you. The costs of Star Pointing at the National Taoist Institute are only a bit higher than at the County Taoist Institute, but the starting point is much higher—not just by a little. Plus, if Jiang’er can go to the National Taoist Institute, I could continue to help her cultivate in the Central Star Palace for a few more days," Ning Yuchan said.
"Alright, I’ll go back and discuss it with my dad and see what we can arrange," Xu Jin said, then went to leave, but Ning Yuchan called out to him just as he was about to do so.
"Hey, Xu Jin..." Ning Yuchan started to say, seemingly a bit embarrassed.
Xu Jin couldn’t help but laugh.
This was the first time he had seen Ning Yuchan embarrassed; she had never been before.
"Teacher, are you asking about the Refining God Golden Pill?"
Ning Yuchan nodded and explained, "Have you made a choice yet? The Refining God Golden Pill is quite important for my breakthrough."
Ning Yuchan frowned slightly, somewhat annoyed that Xu Jin was still making jokes about such an important matter, but still patiently asked, "How long will it take?"
"Another twelve days."
"Twelve days, that long?" Ning Yuchan frowned.
Suddenly, Xu Jin seriously said, "Teacher Ning, do you trust me?"
"I trust you!" Ning Yuchan nodded without hesitation.
"Then just wait for another twelve days, and I’ll give you a big surprise! Of course, you mustn’t tell anyone about this!" Xu Jin said.
"Twelve days, a surprise?"
Ning Yuchan looked at Xu Jin, her almond-shaped eyes filled with doubts but she still believed him.
"Alright then, I have thirty-three days until I need to report to the Galaxy Battlefield. I can wait," Ning Yuchan said.
minutes later, Xu Jin finally returned home.
This was a big matter, and Xu Jin thought about it all the way home.
Regarding his sister’s future in cultivation, taking Jiang’er to the National Taoist Institute was the right choice, but what about his dad?
He couldn’t just leave his dad here all alone.
As for buying or renting a place to stay in Wanyi, Xu Jin believed he could afford it—at least renting, if not buying.
It shouldn’t come to not being able to afford it.
Back at home, Xu Jin called his dad and also had his sister Jiang’er come over, then discussed the matter with them.
"Dad, Jiang’er, my idea is for all of us to go to Wanyi together! Then, dad, you will have us nearby to take care of you, and we can be at peace!"
"Take care, I have my own hands and feet, do I need you to care for me!"
His dad, Xu Dajiang, slapped Xu Jin on the back of his head, "It’s you who needs caring for, needing someone to serve you your three meals a day."
Xu Jin sat upright, then slumped down a bit.
It seemed that what dad said was correct.
"So, Jin’er, you take Jiang’er to Wanyi. Since you’re letting Jiang’er practice cultivation, then it should be done well. A girl with some abilities won’t be bullied in the future!
As for me, I’m not going.
I need to stay in Jinshan County. There are two large estates, over a hundred acres of farmland, and three shops here—who will manage them if I go?
Furthermore, I’ve heard that Wanyi is hot as an oven, and this old man is used to the climate here in Jinshan County, so I’d rather not make the move," Old man Xu Dajiang said.
"That’s not it, dad, if you stay here, who will take care of you!
If something really happens, it’s six thousand miles away, and we can’t rush over immediately!"
"There usually won’t be anything! Plus, with a six thousand miles distance, who would look after our ancestors’ ancestral tablets and graves? Your mother’s grave is here too; anyway, I’m not leaving. That’s settled."
