The villagers were familiar with the School of Divine Condor
establishment. It was the most prestigious college in Dafeng. Every graduates
from there were famed. Being able to be accepted into School of Divine Condor
was the dream of every youth.
For them villagers, it was almost impossible to be accepted into
School of Divine Condor, unless they were able to demonstrated unusual talent.
Otherwise, it was but a pipe dream.
Liu Danhuang blushed. Embarrassed, he said, “Uncle Cheng, if Zheng
Yuan and Zheng Bin will be attending School of Divine Condor. May I please go
with them as their assistant?”
From the eyes of a commoner, School of Divine Condor was an
unreachable place. But Cheng Biyuan looked beyond that to the most prestigious
place on the continent – One Sect, One Temple, One Palace, One Valley. That’s
where he really wanted his children to attend.
“Oh…”
Danhuang was disappointed and the others shocked. They didn’t understand
why he’d say that.
Cheng Biyuan looked at the young man in front of him and didn’t
want to disappoint him, so after a pause he said, “Danhuang, being ambitious is
a good thing. It will, however, be very challenging to start learning martial
art at your age. Most would not want to take that on, so….”
“Uncle Cheng, I understand. I was being ridiculous!” As though all
his spirit had been removed from his body, Liu Danhuang slummed in his seat
listlessly.
Looking at him like that, Cheng Biyuan wasn’t sure if he should be
angry or find it funny. Scolding him smilingly, “What? You are giving up
already? You so readily give up your ambition?”
“Uncle Cheng…” asked Liu Danhuang dumbfounded.
Cheng Biyuan shook his head helplessly, “I will be honest with
you. Our family are cultivators. We can help you out if that’s what you desire.
I can take you in as my disciple. Why don’t you cultivate with Zheng Yuan and
Zheng Bin whenever you have free time going forward? How does that sound to
you?”
“Oh! That will be great, uncle Cheng! I’d love to!” Liu Danhuang
was so happy he almost jumped up into the air. He nodded frantically in
agreement.
“You…” Cheng Biyuan busted out laughing and shook his head. He
took another look at Liu Danhuang and frowned, “But…”
“Uncle Cheng, what’s the problem?” Liu Danhuang was nervous all
over again.
“Your situation at home!” Looking at him, Cheng Biyuan said in a
deep voice, “Cultivating takes a long time. If you want to be good at it, you
must spend a lot of time on it. I’m afraid that will be difficult for you!”
Liu Danhuang’s family is not very well off. No only did he help
out his mother on some chores around the house, his father, Liu Dachun injured
one of his legs while hunting a year ago. He was much help around the house.
Liu Danhuang had pretty much taken over the responsibility as the master of the
household. If he’s cultivating, then what about his family…?
“Dad, it’s time to eat!”
A clear voice emerged from the kitchen, Liu Danhaung looked up at
the slim figure coming out with the kitchen carrying dishes in her hands. He
balled his hands into fists and a look of determination from his eyes.
