"What about your father?" Hua Lin asked while looking at Jing Ling and Hua Fei alternately.

"That's true, huh?" Jing Ling replied. "How do I get through?"

"This is the hardest part." Hua Fei had indeed noticed from the start. "Conquering my uncle's heart is like melting ice in winter."

"Then what do you think?" Jing Ling asked while rereading the writing on the leaflet. "Other than this huge gift of gold liangs, our goal is to study at the imperial academy. We can study free of charge for three whole years!"

"Very tempting indeed. But my uncle?" Hua Fei became confused.

Hua Lin suddenly exclaimed, "Eeh, Ah Ling! How about ..."

The door to the room was suddenly knocked from outside, while they were busy thinking about ways and reasons to ask for the right permission to be approved by Hua Yan.

"Who?" Jing Ling asked in a slightly loud voice.

"Little Young Master, it's Su Ruo!" said a voice from outside the room.

"Oh, Aunt Ruo. What's wrong, Auntie?" Jing Ling asked again.

"I'm sorry if

    Hua Fei was stunned. "Those snakes ...."Hua Fei couldn't help but have to tell the truth about the snakes they caught, all of which had died with none left alive. Even though Jing Ling felt sad, she did not blame Hua Fei for what happened."Never mind, Brother Fei. Looks like luck isn't on our side yet," said Jing Ling in a low whisper containing sadness.But he also knew that Hua Fei also felt very guilty about this. Jing Ling then whispered, "We are men who should not shed tears just to cry for those animals. Can't we still catch them another time?""Is it true that you are okay with them dying?" Hua Fei still doubted Jing Ling's words and was afraid that they were simply words of comfort."Yes, Brother Fei. I'm fine. Trust me!" Jing Ling tried to smile just to make Hua Fei not feel sad anymore.Jing Ling didn't want to continue to be involved in something that no longer needed to be regretted. He immediately changed the conversation to change the atmosphere. "Eh, why can't Little

    "That's right, we must eliminate that kid with our abilities," Hua Fei whispered close to Jing Ling and Hua Lin's ears."Brother Fei, isn't that very cruel?" Jing Ling was surprised to hear Hua Fei's words, which didn't seem like her usual habit."Very cruel indeed!" Hua Fei smiled. "But that's the way to get him to understand that we can't be underestimated as we please.""The method?" Jing Ling asked curiously.Hua Fei then answered as he continued walking. "Only one!"Hua Lin only let out a sigh and a mumble as he shook his head. He prefers to be a loyal listener without saying much."Say it quickly, Brother Fei! Why do you like stalling for time?" Jing Ling was starting to get impatient waiting for Hua Fei's long-winded words."Aaah, you are so impatient," said Hua Fei, still in a calm tone. "The way is, we have to study hard and not accept whatever his behavior is towards you, or towards us."Hearing Hua Fei's answer, Jing Ling turned to Hua Lin. Jing Ling raised a palm in though

    Tension clearly gripped the hearts of the three boys who could only remain silent in a thousand words. Their hearts were starting to beat faster than usual, but they couldn't turn away or hide. If they had to meet Jing Yangxi, they were determined to face him.Jing Yue had placed her right palm on the brass metal circle that was used as a handle on the surface of the door. He could only flash a paper-thin smile without the children behind him knowing."Hope they are surprised this time," whispered Jing Yue while still smiling secretly. But with their worried faces, the woman was very surprised."Heeeehh!" A long sigh accompanied the shake of the head of the most beautiful woman in the southern region. He whispered in his heart. "What are those kids thinking?"The door to the room opened slowly and immediately revealed a man wearing a light blue robe who had already sat on one of the chairs. A round table in front of the man also had a variety of delicious dishes arranged very neatly.

    A hint of tension colored the mood of the three sweet-faced boys. They tried to wake themselves up to hear what Hua Yan had to say. Even though they really wanted to ask, of course they didn't have the slightest courage at all. Just waiting quietly, maybe that's what the three of them can do.Hua Yan was not unaware of what his beloved children were always thinking. The man then took a piece of paper with the exact same shape, shape and color as the annual competition flyer."That thing! Isn't it similar to the flyer I got earlier?" Hua Lin exclaimed as he looked at the object his older cousin was now holding."How about this?" Hua Lin asked himself anxiously.Hua Yan placed the object on the table. His calm and even voice was immediately heard. "You already know about this flyer and of course you really want to follow it.""There really is nothing that can be hidden from father!" Jing Ling exclaimed inwardly."So what does dad mean?" Jing Ling asked and pretended not to understand.H

    "Wait until the three of you are able to master the Divine Thunder Art, at least reaching the fifth level." Hua Yan continued his words."Thunder God Art to the fifth level?" Hua Lin was shocked, his forehead was sweaty and his throat seemed to dry up instantly.Hua Fei was stunned. "Learning the Arts of the Thunder God is very difficult, Uncle!""Until you have mastered the Lightning God Art to the fifth level?" Jing Ling felt that this was too heavy. He was too busy counting on his little fingers. "Thunder God Arts? Isn't that very difficult, Father?""That's right. It is indeed very difficult. But nothing is impossible if we have the determination to progress and master this knowledge." Hua Yan's answer really made the three of them feel even more disappointed."Third level. Isn't that the same as us cultivating for two or three years? And we only have two months." Hua Fei calculated the cultivation time for normal disciples. "Two months... how is that possible?"Hua Yan still wore

    "Teacher!" Hua Wu exclaimed when he saw the teacher come out of the room."You here, Ah Wu?" Hua Yan was a little surprised by his disciple's presence."Sorry, Master. I was just picking up medicinal ingredients from Doctor Guo's place. What a coincidence I saw Master and asked about Master." Hua Wu looked very innocent when he spoke. "I feel worried that Master is alone.""Didn't Teacher Yue get suspicious when you asked about me?" Hua Yan asked as he continued walking with the disciple's support.Hua Wu shook his head. "I don't think so, Master. I didn't say anything about today's incident either.""Good. Now take me back to my guesthouse," whispered Hua Yan in a weak voice. "Remember to keep what I'm experiencing a secret, Ah Wu!""Yes, Master!" Of course Hua Wu would comply.In another place, precisely in a small, beautiful palace building that stands on a cliff. A dashing and handsome man almost thirty years old seemed to be contemplating alone under the shadow of the moon. In hi

    The person who was asked immediately answered, "We don't know either! He just suddenly came from outside the residence and attacked everyone he encountered. How strange and utterly unreasonable!""There is no other way, but to escape from this place!" replied the man with the mustache with a panicked face."All right! Get all women and children to get out of here immediately!" The head guard tries to save as much as possible."But, what about the head of the family?""That's right! What about her and Miss Yue as well as the baby?" Another guard asked worriedly."Okay, this time we have to share the task. You and some of the guards, save anyone who can still survive. You guys must leave this place as soon as possible!" The chief guard gave an order to his men."Then, Chief himself?" asked the man with the mustache in a worried tone.The chief guard replied, "I'm going to see how the family head and Miss Yue are doing. I'm really worried about them!""All right, we understand! Take care

    On the other side of the building. A beautiful woman was running around carrying a tiny baby boy who kept crying non-stop. "What's going on? Why is everything in such a mess?""Miss Yueee!" The chief guard who was looking for him shouted as he ran around as if being chased by an army of ghosts.The man breathlessly approached the beautiful woman who still looked very confused. "Miss, thank Goodness Miss Yue is okay!""Brother Jing Li, what's going on?" Jing Yue asked as she cast her eyes in all directions. She only found flames and the corpses of the guards and servants scattered about like trash."Your husband, Miss's husband! H-he, he's the one who did all this mess!" replied Jing Li in a broken voice."My husband?" Jing Yue couldn't believe what she had just heard. "No way! Jing Li, don't talk nonsense about the father of my child!""But it's true, Miss! I'm not lying!"Jing Yue then asked, "Then, where is he now?""Don't look for him, Miss!

    "If Mom asks, am I afraid?" Jing Ling said honestly. "Of course I'm afraid. Very afraid, even. Just hearing stories about his cruelty makes my heart tremble and doubt. But I will try to overcome that fear for the sake of my family!""Mother, please pray for me so that I can become stronger and be able to fulfill your wishes!" Jing Ling clenched both hands into fists.Jing Yue was even more moved. "Of course mother will always pray for you. You are mother's only happiness, pride and hope.""Prayer alone is not enough if it is not balanced with hard training. It's like someone wants to lift a mountain, but is too lazy to move." Another person's voice startled the two."Father!" Jing Ling exclaimed with joy when she turned around and saw Hua Yan, Hua Fei and Hua Lin already standing there with a calm and graceful attitude. "Dad is coming.""Mmhh. I want to talk to your mother about some things," said Hua Yan as he stepped closer to Jing Yue."Please, Dad." Jing Ling gave way in a respect

    Jing Yue just shook her head."Mother, look! You can see how far I have come." Jing Ling was so excited, she jumped to the center of the room with agile movements.In front of Jing Yue and the entire Jing Family memorial, Jing Ling played with the spear excitedly.One stroke in the air managed to create a large wave of wind which caused all the curtains in the room to wave."Sweeping strong like a giant dragon's tail, but also flexible and soft when swung!" Jing Ling shouted as he continued to swing the spear while making a rotating motion, thrusting forward, spinning the blade with agile movements."The strong wind waves were enough to knock down the sapling hill!"The young man then jumped quite high and slashed the spearhead at the curtain that was hanging as a decoration. In just one swipe, the red cloth was cut into two pieces and flew very gently, then fell towards Jing Yue."Sharp!" Jing Ling exclaimed while her body was still in the air. "This spearhead is very sharp!"Jing Yu

Jing Yue's hands trembled slightly as she remembered the bitter memories that had made her feel depressed inside for the past seventeen years."He left this thing for you along with a book. But you don't need to thank him.""No need to thank him?" Jing Ling's black eyebrows furrowed in surprise. "Who do you mean, Mother?""That ... I'll tell you slowly later," answered Jing Yue, sadly."Hmm, Mother seems to be starting to enjoy playing puzzles with me.""Stupid!" Jing Yue flicked the tip of her son's nose gently. "Don't talk too much. Quickly look at that thing!""Oh." Jing Ling nodded. "Okay, okay."In fact, Jing Yue's heart felt like it was being torn and bleeding by memories that made half of her life just wrapped up in revenge. The pain is so unspeakable that even crying for decades seems like I can't get rid of that feeling.When Jing Ling received a long object from her mother's hands, Jin

    Qu Yilin walked over to the window while wringing the back of her hands. Her soft, white skin became red from squeezing, which seemed to be an outlet for feelings."Seventeen years ago, your father went wandering for many yearshe was assigned to find an antidote to cure your grandmother's illness. And on his journey, your father found a strange spear head fragment on Dragon Mountain Peak." Qu Yilin began to tell the story.Prince Han Yuze listened quietly, even though in his heart he felt something was strange."Father went to find medicine for grandmother, wasn't grandfather still the emperor at that time? Apart from the imperial physicians, didn't grandfather invite the best physicians in the country to cure grandmother's illness?" Prince Han Yuze couldn't hold back his question."Of course everything has been done and nothing has worked at all. Your grandmother's illness is not just an ordinary illness, but because someone poisoned her," Qu Yilin answered while staring at empty air

    Under the firm hands of the soldiers, the young healer could only surrender. Even though he was very dissatisfied, Doctor Xue was currently helpless."Save you?" Prince Han Yuxuan looked confused. The space between his eyebrows even furrowed as he stared at Doctor Xue's thin body kneeling on the floor.Prince Han Yuze wiped the sweat flowing down his face, then nodded his head with a weak movement. "That's right, Dad. So, please let go of the healer, Dad."Prince Han Yuxuan looked at Prince Han Yuze to make sure that his words were trustworthy. There was a strong deception in the man's heart regarding Doctor Xue which he found very strange.Meanwhile, Former Emperor Han Yuwen preferred to observe his grandson's condition from a close distance and felt that there was something strange in his grandson's body.The old man who still looked very dignified then turned to Prince Han Yuxuan. "Okay, since Yuze said so, then we might as well let him go."Prince Han Yuxuan finally nodded his hea

    Soon, the former emperor and Prince Han Yuxuan arrived there with worried faces. They immediately approached Qu Yilin who was waiting for Prince Han Yuze at the door.The woman looked restless and walked back and forth non-stop while occasionally squeezing the back of her hand."Hopefully the kid doesn't suffer any serious injuries that hinder his training later," Qu Yilin whispered to herself with unease.The sound of the two important people's shod footsteps sounded like they were in a great hurry.Qu Yilin immediately greeted the arrival of the two men of noble status with a salute. His hands are regularly in front of his stomach and his knees are slightly bent. "Greetings, Your Highness Father. Greetings, Your Highness Prince."Due to panic and anxiety, both of them were unable to respond to the greeting and only nodded their heads with worried faces. Only after a few moments to catch their breath did they both look a little better."Yilin, what about my two grandchildren? Are the

    "This guy, can he not take out the needle?" Prince Han Yuze screamed in his heart. The panic made his handsome face pale and look pitiful.Prince Han Yuze immediately said, "Brother Physician, it seems like there's nothing that needs to be checked anymore. I'm in very good condition now. I'm ten times stronger than anyone else. Just tell mother that I'm fine.""I'm sorry, Prince. I don't dare. I'm just carrying out my duties. I ask the Prince not to complicate my task. And I also see that your face is a little pale, I'm worried that something bad is happening to Your Majesty's body." Doctor Xue spoke softly, and his voice seemed to be low-pitched and dignified."If you continue to refuse to be examined, then His Majesty's mother and also the Prince's family ask, how should I answer? It could be that my head is at stake instead. Doesn't the Prince feel sorry for the fate of this little healer?" Doctor Xue looked pitiful, hoping that the patient would not reject him again.Secretly, Pri
