1293 Innate Kinship
Upon hearing this, the uppercla.s.sman discussed it in low voices. “There are so many harsh conditions to become a Purifying Spirit Master. I thought those in the clan who failed to awaken their beast form could become Purifying Spirit Masters.”
“From the looks of it, those who can become Purifying Spirit Masters are very kind.”
kindness was what the descendants of major families lacked the most.
In the education they had received since they were young, kindness was downplayed because they advocated strength and power. In the eyes of most Beast Tamers, ‘kindness’ was equivalent to ‘weakness’, and weak people would be beaten up by others.
!!Although they found out from Yu Huang that not everyone could become a Purifying Spirit Master, this group of descendants still wanted to send their young disciples to Central Continent and let them partic.i.p.ate in the Purifying Spirit Master Academy’s a.s.sessment. Even if only one in a thousand could become a Purifying Spirit Master, that would be a good thing.
“Yu Huang.”
The uppercla.s.smen suggested to Yu Huang, “Can you please write a recommendation letter for us? Later, our family’s butler can bring the recommendation letter you wrote to the Central Continent for them to partic.i.p.ate in the Purifying Spirit Master Academy’s a.s.sessment. Perhaps you can get the Purifying Spirit G.o.d to take special care of them since we’re all schoolmates?”
This was the reason why this group of prodigies gathered downstairs at Yu Huang’s house early in the morning.
Today, they represented their families to ask Yu Huang for a recommendation letter to convey their goodwill to her.
As long as Yu Huang wasn’t an idiot, she would agree.
Yu Huang naturally wouldn’t refuse. She said, “How about this? Let’s be good friends. After I write the recommendation letter, I’ll call everyone over and get it together. After all, there are many of you guys, so I won’t be able to finish it in a short time.”
“That’s great.”
After the morning, hundreds of personal accounts of elite inner academy students appeared in Yu Huang’s school badge contact list.
This was a network.
Yu Huang was in a good mood. After sending off this group of elite students, she strolled towards Villa No. 1000. On the way, she met Jing Jiaren, who was about to go home. Jing Jiaren took the initiative to stop Yu Huang. “Yu Huang!”
Yu Huang stopped and looked up to greet Jing Jiaren. “Miss Jing.”
Jing Jiaren had also heard about Yu Huang’s pregnancy, so she stared at Yu Huang’s stomach with a strange gaze as she asked with concern, “I heard that you’re pregnant. How do you feel now? Do you feel uncomfortable?” Jing Jiaren walked towards Yu Huang as she lamented, “I remember that when my aunt was pregnant, she didn’t vomit. She just ate a rhinoceros leg every meal.”
“Are you having any sort of intense reaction now?”
Yu Huang thought that she had a big appet.i.te because she could eat a basin of noodles in one sitting, but she really didn’t expect her mother to be even more exaggerated than her when she was pregnant.
Could it be that being a big eater was also hereditary?
Sensing that Jing Jiaren’s concern was sincere, Yu Huang’s smile became more genuine and she said, “Thank you for your concern. I feel fine now. Perhaps it’s because I just got pregnant and the children haven’t taken shape yet, so they don’t absorb that much nutrition since they’re still young.”
Jing Jiaren said to Yu Huang, “How about I walk with you? I just finished my seclusion and came back from the cultivation area. I’m a little tired, so I want to take a walk and talk to someone.” A smile suddenly appeared on Jing Jiaren’s face as she said, “The moment I saw you, I felt the urge to get close to you.”
After saying this, Jing Jiaren realized that she sounded like she was trying to curry favor with her.
After she tilted her head and met Yu Huang’s surprised gaze, she hurriedly explained, “Sorry, did I make you feel uncomfortable?”
Yu Huang said, “It’s not that. I’m just a little surprised to hear such words from you. I’m a little flattered.” Yu Huang smiled and said frankly, “After all, you’re not an ordinary woman and you seem out of ordinary people’s league. You’re very difficult to approach.”
“It’s my honor to catch your eye.”
Hearing Yu Huang’s words, Jing Jiaren felt more at ease.
Jing Jiaren said, “In the beginning, I secretly observed you because I suspected that you were my aunt’s daughter. Later, I realized that you weren’t, but I’ve always found you pleasing to the eye.” Jing Jiaren plucked a branch from the drooping willow tree and said, “The last time I asked you about Ye Qingyang, you said something very unpleasant to me. Logically speaking, I should have known better and stopped interacting with you. But strangely, I keep wanting to get close to you whenever I see you.”
Jing Jiaren subconsciously touched the blond hairpin behind her head and muttered softly, “Whenever I sss you, I think of my aunt.”
It was very strange. Yu Huang was clearly not her aunt’s child, but Yu Huang always gave Jing Jiaren a sense of kinship and she wanted to be close to her.
Yu Huang listened in silence before saying, “Perhaps it’s because our eyes look very similar.”
Jing Jiaren stared into Yu Huang’s eyes and nodded as she said, “Perhaps.”
“By the way, you said that you entered Cang Lang Academy to find your aunt. How is it? Is there any progress?”
Jing Jiaren shook her head dejectedly and said, “I’ve asked my professor, who told me that my aunt hasn’t returned to Cang Lang Academy since graduation. I’ve also asked other professors, including the dean, but the answer is the same.”
Nodding, Yu Huang asked Jing Jiaren, “When was the last time you saw your aunt?”
Jing Jiaren said, “When I was seven.”
She stroked the golden hairpin at the back of her head as she said sadly, “The last time she appeared, she left me this golden hairpin and never appeared again.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Huang asked curiously, “How old are you this year, Miss Jing?”
Jing Jiaren said, “I just turned 34.” She happened to be seven years older than Yu Huang.
In that case, after Jing Rujiu woke up in the Dragon G.o.d Palace, she specifically returned to the Divination Continent before disappearing.
“Miss Jing, did your aunt say anything important when she gave you the golden hairpin? For example, what her next plan was?”
Jing Jiaren shook her head. “No, I was only seven years old at that time. What could she tell a child?”
“Then when she gave you the golden hairpin, she must have given you her blessings, right?”
This time, Jing Jiaren thought about it seriously, then she said uncertainly, “She did say something back then, but after so many years, I can’t remember that much.” Jing Jiaren said hesitantly, “That day, aunt personally tied my hair and put the golden hairpin on me. She squatted in front of me and held my face while saying something to me. She said…”
After Jing Jiaren glanced at Yu Huang, she imitated Jing Rujiu’s tone as she said slowly, “You’re so beautiful. I hope my daughter will be as beautiful as you in the future. When she grows up, I’ll also refine a hairpin of the same design for her. What do you think?”
Jing Jiaren told Yu Huang, “That’s it.”
Yu Huang stopped in her tracks.
Refining the same hair accessory…
Yu Huang suddenly said to Jing Jiaren, “Miss Jing, do you mind letting me take a look at this hairpin on your head? The first time I saw this hairpin in the Doomsday Battlefield, I felt that it was very beautiful.”
Jing Jiaren hesitated for a moment before taking off the golden hairpin and handing it to Yu Huang carefully.
Yu Huang took the hairpin. Just as her fingertips touched the hairpin, her consciousness was suddenly sucked into a dark s.p.a.ce. As Yu Huang stood in the dark and narrow s.p.a.ce, she felt a gentle caress.
Yu Huang heard the owner of that hand say in a low voice, “I used the Golden Pearl of the Dragon G.o.d Palace to refine two similar golden hairpins and injected two drops of my heart blood into them. I engraved the words ‘beautiful hairpin for Jiaren’ on one of the golden hairpins and the words ‘May the little girl be safe’ on the other. I will give the first hairpin to my little niece. I have decided to send the second golden hairpin to the Green Sena Auction House. If no one comes to redeem it, you can auction it 30 years later.”
Then, Yu Huang heard an old voice reply respectfully, “I will follow your instructions.”
Boom!
Yu Huang was blasted out of the dark and narrow world.
“Yu Huang?” Jing Rujiu’s worried shout sounded in Yu Huang’s ears.
When Yu Huang opened her eyes and met Jing Rujiu’s concerned and worried eyes, only then did she realize that she saw this golden hairpin’s past.
Presumably, she had possessed this golden hairpin just now and traveled back to 27 years ago, then she heard her mother’s instructions to the old man.
