Chapter 70.1: Why Not Go To The Faint Mist Sect
The eyes of the royal concubines and ladies present all looked rather surprised.
This young lady, seemed to be a little different from the last time they saw her just some time ago.
It was clearly still the same countenance, but the air and demeanor around her suddenly felt different.
Yan Su"s att.i.tude towards Qing Yu had turned to become very good these days and it could be said that with the exception of Yan Ning Luo, he doted in Qing Yu the most, hence, he did not say anything much but just asked in concern. "I heard Little Bei tell me that you went out to deal with some business?"
Qing Yu arched up an eyebrow and looked at the youth seated opposite her, to see him blinking his eyes at her like he was trying to hint something.
Understanding what he meant, where the kid must have come up with an excuse for her, she laughed lightly. "That"s right. I had to deal with some business and also saw a friend off going on a long journey."
Yan Ning Luo had probably seen everything and there was probably nothing that Qing Yu could hide, but seeing her being so honest about the whole thing, it caused Yan Ning Luo to lift her eyes up to look.
Yan Su nodded when he heard that. "Your Big Sister Ning Luo is going back to the Faint Mist Sect tomorrow and the whole family has gathered here today to hold a simple farewell dinner as we don"t know how many years it will be before she will come back again."
Although the stalwart and iron blooded man did not show any emotion on the surface, his words were filled with reluctance for her to leave.
Yan Ning Luo had gone into the Faint Mist Sect since she was six years old and she was now already sixteen and going on to seventeen, the number of times she came home less than what one could count on one hand. She had stayed for a whole month this time and it was longer than the few times she had come back before.
Yan Ning Luo looked at her father"s rather sad expression and her heart softened before she said rea.s.suring in a soft voice: "I will come back to see you whenever I have time in future but as the faint Mist Sect has their rules for its disciples to not remain in the secular world for too long as it will affect one"s cultivation, I can only try my best to fight for a chance."
"Sigh. I really do not know whether it"s a good or bad thing for you to join the Faint Mist Sect!" Yan Su creased up his brows and sighed a long breath. "And you do not even have a sibling at your side to look out for you in there and it must be really very lonely for you in there all by yourself."
Yan Xi Cheng had stayed in the Faint Mist Sect for two years when he was much younger but he had pulled out after that, suddenly deciding that he wanted to follow his father to tread the battlefields. His ambitions lay in protecting his country and not in the pursuit down the path of cultivation.
The other girls in the Eternal Peace Duke Manor all either had weak body const.i.tution or were not gifted enough, unable to even reach the Faint Mist Sect"s minimum threshold, otherwise, if they had been able to at least remain in there for a year or so, when the reached marriageable age in future, having once trained in the Faint Mist Sect, it would be something that would put them in a much better light!
After Yan Su"s rather emotional speech, the corners of Yan Ning Luo"s lips lifted slightly and her gaze glinted with an imperceptible smile as she turned slightly to look down the table before she said in a voice with deep undertones. "If Father is afraid that I"ll be lonely, that situation can be easily resolved."
"Oh?" Yan Su turned to look curiously at her and then asked "Little Ning has a good idea?"
Feeling completely bored without anything else that interested her while seated further down the table, her beautiful eyes were eyeing the delicacies on the table, thinking when it would be time to eat. Upon hearing Yan Ning Luo"s words, Qing Yu"s heart dropped with a thud, an ominous feeling quickly rising up inside her.
"The Faint Mist Sect recruits new blood every year but there is just a limited number of places, accepting only fifty people. One will only need to pa.s.s the selection trials for them to be accepted and they would be given one month"s probation period. During that period, there would be all kinds of tests and stringent training but those who are able to persist and endure through it would be officially accepted into the Faint Mist Sect as a disciple."
When she finished, Yan Ning Luo then directed her words further down the table. "Xi Ruo and Xi Wu, didn"t both of you pa.s.s through quite a few rounds during the All Saints Day compet.i.tion? Both of you can go try out for it and you might be lucky enough to make it through. And Little Sister Qing Yu, although you have not been all that outstanding before, but haven"t you gotten yourself a powerful Master now? You must surely be rather skilled now and you even know Medicine. I"m certain you will surely be very well liked by all the teachers."
