Chapter 477 The Hammer, Marching into Xingyu City
"Third Uncle, Uncle-in-law, has something happened at home?" Wenxia asked anxiously.
"Third Uncle, Father, what brings you two here?" Yao Maimai asked uncertainly.
Then several girls ran out, all asking questions in confusion.
"Don't worry about it. Everything's fine at home."
Wen Qikang laughed and said, "We came to talk to our master. After we finished, our master said that you were here today, so we came to see what was going on."
Just then, Yao Suisui asked Yao Changhao directly, "Dad, how did you and Third Uncle get up here? Did you come by flying boat?"
"No way, flying boats cost spirit stones."
Yao Changhao instilled the concept of diligence and thrift in his daughter, then pointed to a flat area on one side and said, "There are steps over there, come up here."
Steps?
The girls looked in the direction Yao Changhao was pointing.
Renran Dan and Renran Man quickened their pace, decisively walked to a flat area, and looked down.
The steps stretched out before us, winding all the way down to the foot of the mountain.
Looking down from above, these steps don't seem to be newly built; they look like they've been there for quite some time.
Damn it, they wouldn't let them use the steps, and instead made them walk on such a steep mountain path, jumping and leaping. If they didn't have some real skills, they would have really died today.
Ren Randan suddenly glared angrily at Ye Jingchuan, who quickly turned his head away from her.
How could the other girls swallow this insult?
Damn it! There are stone steps on the other side of the mountain, why make it such a tiring test?
Faced with the angry glares of a group of women, Ye Jingchuan awkwardly touched his nose to cover up his embarrassment, then shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with me, it was my master's order."
"Our master said that you cannot walk on the steps for a month. When you can reach the halfway point of the mountain in one go, you will be allowed to walk on the steps. Perhaps by then, you will not like walking on the steps anymore."
After they finished speaking, the women looked at each other in disbelief.
However, this was the Grandmaster's arrangement, and everyone could only obey. They dared not shirk their duties or complain in the slightest. Who would dare disobey the Second Elder? Unless they were extremely audacious.
Who's got the guts here? Well, there really is one person.
Ren Randan tried her best to control her voice and adjust her expression so that no one would notice her trembling. "A month? Go through it every day?"
His eyes gleamed with determination and a desire to prove himself.
“Yes, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Grandmaster.” Ye Jingchuan avoided her gaze.
For some reason, this niece of the Ren family suddenly had a domineering aura in her eyes that made people afraid to look directly at her, and Ye Jingchuan inexplicably dared not look directly at her.
"Then my sister and I will need someone to guide us for a part of the journey every day. What should we do? Will Uncle Ye continue to guide us?" Renranman asked.
"It's impossible to keep it with you forever."
Ye Jingchuan shook his head and said, "Grandmaster only allows you to take them for five days, including today. From now on, the distance you take them will be reduced each day, so you must give it your all during these five days."
"After that, I will follow behind you and protect you for five days. After that, you'll be on your own. Do you understand?"
The sisters, with pained expressions, answered weakly and reluctantly, "...Understood."
Wen Qikang and Yao Changhao, who were watching their daughter and niece suffer, suppressed their laughter and watched from beginning to end. They looked at each other and suddenly remembered the time when they followed their father out of the valley to mine. At that time, because their cultivation level was not high, their father called them idiots!
It seems that these idiots are almost ready to become successful.
Their trip to Xingyu City was to pave the way for the future development of their family.
"Alright, you guys keep up the good work. We'll be leaving now if there's nothing else."
After saying that, the two walked to a flat area and went down the steps one by one.
The sisters stood on the steps, watching the two walk away with envy.
Wenqiong: "Look at my dad's steps, how steady he walks!"
Wen Hong: "Sigh, I wonder what it feels like to walk up these stairs?"
Yao Maimai: "Whether I feel it or not, it's all in vain, and I can't leave anyway."
Yao Suisui: "Can't we leave, but can't we even look? Really."
Renranman said angrily, "Look, I have to watch it to my heart's content every day when I have free time. I don't believe that I won't get tired of watching it so much."
Renran Dan continued, "If you keep looking at it like this, then the Waiting-for-Husband Stone will become a Stone Woman."
The air was silent for a moment, then a group of girls burst into laughter.
Indeed, there is the "Waiting-for-Husband Stone" of ancient times, where women hoped for their husbands to return home. But what about them?
Standing in front of the steps, they were hoping to climb up and down the mountain by walking up and down the steps. This contrasting intention immediately revealed their absurd wish, which was truly unprecedented and would surely cause a lot of laughter if people knew about it.
Seeing that they were about to forget the purpose of their visit, Ye Jingchuan hurriedly reminded them.
"Alright, stop looking. What's so interesting about these broken stone steps? Come over here and hurry up and plant some spiritual plants and herbs."
Subsequently, under Ye Jingchuan's leadership and arrangements, the group worked until the sun was almost setting before leaving the place.
As the saying goes, going up a mountain is easy, but going down is hard. However, in the eyes of these girls, going down the mountain is much easier.
It didn't take long for everyone to land safely, and neither of the Ren sisters needed any help.
Thus, under the urging of their grandmaster and Ye Jingchuan, the group of girls lived a life of misery in Medicine King Valley.
......
The small courtyard of Grand Tutor Zhou in the suburbs of Beijing.
After school today, the children ran and chased each other toward the tutor's courtyard.
Hearing the noise from inside, Master Zhou and Wen Yuanqian stood at the door waiting for these mischievous monkeys.
Ever since Grand Tutor Zhou successfully guided Qi into his body, these children would practice with him after returning from school.
However, children are like nails stuck in their bottoms; they can't sit still for long. They're either making a fuss here or jumping around there. So, Master Zhou has to come over every ten days to give them a rigorous assessment. He has to focus on their academic studies as well as their cultivation and magical abilities.
Today is the end-of-month assessment. If I pass the assessment, I can rest for two days tomorrow, and tomorrow is the spring outing that was agreed upon in advance.
As soon as the children arrived at the door, they saw Master Zhou looking at them with a stern face. They all shrank their necks like quails, staring at each other with wide eyes.
Wen Chengmo stopped and took the lead in bowing, saying, "Greetings, Master! Greetings, Grandfather!"
The other children followed suit and bowed.
However, on the surface, Master Zhou was just staring at these children, but in reality, he was observing their cultivation level, so that they wouldn't neglect their cultivation because of playing.
Fortunately, everyone has made progress; it's just a matter of how much.
According to his observation, Ren Jinning seems to be making faster progress. Although she started cultivating a few years later than Wen Chengmo and the others, it seems that with a little more effort, this kid is poised to surpass the others!
It seems the little knife spirit is quite powerful!
Just as Master Zhou was marveling at the power of the little knife's spirit, Grand Tutor Zhou walked out of the house with a light step, smiled, and said...
Then the children were stunned for a moment before screaming.
