Chapter 4: Visiting the Huang Family's Main Residence and Meeting the Female Lead
Four years of time quietly flowed away like water, and it was another piece of colorful and brilliant good times.
Luoyu slowly came to a realization that whether it was the destined-to-soar female lead or the female supporting character who constantly used her life to brush up on her presence, neither of them had much to do with her. Luoyu's innate talent was far inferior to those two heavenly favored women, and even if they had intersected at the beginning, they would eventually drift further and further apart.
Luoyu had a wild ambition in her heart, that was to attain the Tao and become an immortal. If she often thought of clinging to someone's thigh and pinned her hopes on others, then her state of mind would never pass the test, let alone attain the Tao and become an immortal.
The Great Way is fifty, Heaven's destiny is forty-nine, and human fate is one. Since she has come to this world and obtained the qualifications for cultivation, although her qualifications are poor, it also represents a faint glimmer of opportunity, and she must seize that opportunity to rise with the heavens. Ah, you say cultivating immortality means going against heaven? Nonsense! Heaven has left a variable, which is to leave a way out for you, so of course you should climb up in accordance with the pole!
This introspection may not have helped her in any way, but it undoubtedly set her on the right path and had an immeasurable impact on the formation of her moral character. Of course, she doesn't know that yet.
"Yu'er, where did you go? Come quickly and see which clothes to wear when going to the main house tomorrow. This pink one is not bad, yeah, the yellow one is also good."
"Mother, I'm coming!" Luo Yu slid down from the peach tree with a whoosh and ran into the inner room to pick out clothes with Lin Mo. In the end, she chose a yellow skirt.
Luo Yu bathed in the morning glow, holding her father's hand and slowly walking into the main house.
The carved beams and painted buildings stood tall, with wooden houses and bamboo sheds hidden among the green trees and flowers. The servants were busy and orderly, and there were also adults leading children to come in. If they met acquaintances, Huang Daishou would also lead Luo Yu and his relatives to pay their respects.
This was her first time coming to the main mansion, she would start her immortal journey from here, and for a moment, Luo Yu couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of excitement.
"Be careful, Jade!"
"Ah!" Luo Yu kicked the door frame with one foot.
Huang Daishou looked at Luo Yu's ferocious appearance and couldn't help but smile wryly.
Luoyu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She had been playing with her phone and accidentally sent a message to the wrong person. The message was meant for her best friend, but it ended up going to her crush instead. The content of the message was quite embarrassing, and Luoyu's face turned bright red as she thought about what might happen next.
"Country bumpkin!" A snickering sound came from behind. Luo Yu and his father turned around, only to see five or six maids surrounding a person walking towards them with a gentle pace. The person had a goose-egg face, willow-leaf eyebrows, almond eyes, seemingly happy yet subtle gaze, a crystal nose paired with a diamond-shaped small mouth, wearing a flying immortal hairstyle, dressed in a Xianglian skirt.
What a delicate little beauty! Luo Yu secretly sighed in her heart.
"The young lady doesn't understand things, don't mind it, little sister." The beautiful girl said with a faint smile.
"Don't mind, Fifth Sister." Huang Daishou said calmly as he pulled Luo Yu to stand by his side.
This is the legendary female partner! As expected, this perfect face is a must-have for a female partner.
Well, next must write "but that coquettishness, originally very good-looking, was reduced by two or three points."
Hey, heroine, why aren't you following the script?
When De Luo Yu came back to himself, Wu Niang Huang Luo Yi was already carrying that dustless frame, gradually moving further and further away.
"Dad, is this Fifth Sister? Why does she look different from what others said?"
"Silence!" Huang Daishou slowly stopped Luo Yu, but knowing that a father knows his daughter best, he continued to say slowly: "I heard that since the incident four years ago, Fifth Young Miss has become even more sensible. There's just one thing you need to remember carefully, if you find out she doesn't have spiritual roots, then she won't be ranked, and you can't call her sister either. Because you were still young before, we didn't make strict demands on you, it was all just careless talk, but from today on, it's different. If there are no spiritual roots..." Huang Daishou paused, "Forget it, I won't say anymore, just follow my instructions and don't speak carelessly."
Yu'er, if she didn't have a spiritual root, he decided to take her back to the mortal world 10 years later. After all, with his mediocre talent, it was difficult for him to break through to the Golden Elixir, and his lifespan would be less than 200 years. Although he looked like he was in his 30s now, he was actually over 80 years old, but because of his cultivation, he aged slower. Although he wasn't at peace with Yu'er, the Huang family wouldn't mistreat him considering Yu'er's three spiritual roots.
Luo Yu gently pulled her father's hand and looked up at him seriously, saying: "Dad, don't worry, I have a spiritual root."
Since the book mentioned that she had a spiritual root, then it must be there, only her spiritual root was very poor. Luo Yu secretly curled his lips in disdain.
"Yes, my Jade has a spiritual root. But don't worry, Daddy will always be with you." Huang Dazhou's hand landed on Luo Yu's double buns and stopped again. Today is a big day, it's better not to mess up this little girl's hairstyle, otherwise she would get anxious.
He let out a light sigh and said it was impossible not to worry.
Ordinary people's children, those with spiritual roots are extremely rare. Even among cultivator families, about one-third of the children have no spiritual roots. The better the parents' spiritual roots, the higher the likelihood that their children will also have good spiritual roots and innate talents. Therefore, for the sake of future generations, families often choose to pair up children with excellent innate talents in dual cultivation, so as to ensure the continuation of the family line.
Children's spiritual roots can only take shape at the age of five. There is also a saying that it is only after the age of 10 that the spiritual root can truly take shape and no longer change. Some people have tested this theory, but the results cannot confirm this theory.
So even if he was anxious, he could only wait until Yu'er turned five years old before bringing her to the Zong Si Hall for an assessment of her qualifications.
Moreover, the spirit stones sold on the market can only detect the type of spiritual root and cannot display its purity. The instrument that can measure both the spiritual root and its purity is called a spirit-measuring disc, which is so expensive that even if one were to spend all their savings, they still wouldn't be able to afford it.
He and his wife already have a child with three spiritual roots, which is already the blessing of their ancestors. Even if another child does not have spiritual roots, he should not be dissatisfied in any way, it's just that in his heart...
"Let's hurry past this Osmanthus Garden, and we'll reach the Ancestral Hall right away! Yu'er, let's quicken our pace!"
