"Of course, I didn't choose the people. Tomorrow morning, I will take those of you who meet the requirements to the general's mansion for General Gu to choose. This is not something I can decide," Xuanyuan Jia said helplessly.
"What?" Xuanyuan Jia's words once again shocked these princes and princesses. They didn't expect that even their own father couldn't decide on such a simple selection. This made them once again weigh the weight and ability of the Gu family in their hearts.
"Then your Majesty, those of us who are over 16 or younger than 10 have no chance, right?" asked the prince.
After all, he was also the type who was out of range. Yuntian Academy, what a great opportunity it was, something he had never dared to imagine before. But the opportunity was gone right in front of him, and he was unwilling to accept it.
"Yes, father, this is such a good opportunity, but there is only one spot available and there is an age limit. This is too harsh," said the second prince Xuanyuan Li, dissatisfied.
"Why, are you questioning me? Do you think I don't want a few more places? It's a pity that I fought for this one place for you. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even have this one place, humph!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I am just unwilling to accept this. That is Yuntian Academy! It is a place that everyone in our remote small country yearns for," Xuanyuan Li defended.
"Those of you between the ages of 10 and 16, please get ready tomorrow. I will take you to the general's mansion." Business was more important, and the emperor did not bother with Xuanyuan Li about this matter, because he himself wanted a few more places. Who wouldn't want something that could strengthen their country?
I have to say that the emperor's family has made a lot of calculations. If it weren't for Gu Shenghao, who didn't care about such things, they wouldn't get anything. They still want to ask for a few more places, which is really a daydream.
Although this matter is not worth mentioning to Gu Shenghao, it is still a trouble. He just thinks of Xuanyuan Jia providing a home for their family. Although this home is dispensable, it is enough to show that Gu Shenghao is a loyal person, but not a stupid person.
The tenth prince Xuanyuan Ming just thought that since he and Gu Lingyan had a friendship of going to the auction together, maybe he could get a spot, and his age also met the requirements.
I have to say that the Tenth Prince is dreaming. Maybe Gu Lingyan won’t even recognize him. He is really wishful thinking.
"Tomorrow at noon, those of you who meet the requirements will wait for me at the palace gate. Prince, you will also go with me. The others do not need to go."
"yes"
"Everyone, please leave. Prince, you stay."
After the princes and princesses have left
"Father Emperor"
"Why didn't you go to the General's Mansion after my birthday banquet?"
"Father, it's not that I didn't want to go. I was in seclusion when I was about to break through. When I came out, Gu Lingfeng and Gu Lingyan had already gone out for training. When they came back, I heard the news that their whole family was leaving. There was no chance at all," said Prince Xuanyuan Cheng aggrievedly.
Xuanyuan Jia was speechless when he heard these words. He could only say that it was bad luck and his city did not have that kind of luck.
The one he has always had his eye on is Xuanyuan Cheng, a 25-year-old great spiritual master who is considered a genius in their country. Moreover, Xuanyuan Cheng has good character and wisdom. Xuanyuan Jia does not want to miss this opportunity, so he will take Xuanyuan Cheng there tomorrow. Maybe he can get a spot.
"You need to behave well tomorrow. Perhaps General Gu will recognize you for your intelligence and give you a place."
"Yes, father. I will definitely perform well," Xuanyuan Cheng shouted excitedly.
"Father, you are really good."
"Remember, don't take it lightly tomorrow. This is your last chance to go to Central Continent."
"Father, I will." As for what Xuanyuan Cheng was thinking in his heart, no one knew.
————
As soon as Gu Shenghao returned to the general's mansion, he guessed that his wife was in his daughter's yard and went directly to Gu Lingyan's yard.
"Madam, Yan'er"
"Husband, you are back, how are things going?"
"Dad" Gu Lingyan was puzzled when she heard what her mother said. What did her father do? But she still called him "Dad" sweetly.
"Hey! Yan'er, do you miss your father?"
[Huh? Mom and Dad are acting strangely today. Mom's expression is off as soon as she comes into my yard, and she's always hesitant to speak. And now Dad's asking if I miss him. Isn't that common? There's no need to ask if I miss him. There's something wrong with these two.]
"Dad, don't we see each other often? Do I need to think about this?"
"Uh" Gu Shenghao was speechless.
"Yan'er, we have something important to tell you and your sister today." Bai Fengdie finally wanted to tell the brother and sister about this matter now.
"Then I'll go and get Feng'er here right away," Gu Shenghao said hurriedly upon seeing this.
He turned around and went to Gu Lingfeng's yard.
"Mom, what's going on?" Gu Lingyan saw that her mother's face was not very good.
"Wait until your brother comes, and then I'll explain it to you."
Gu Lingyan could only lie in Bai Fengdie's arms and wait. The wait at this time was long, and Gu Lingyan had a lot of thoughts in her mind.
What kind of thing could have caused his powerful parents to change their expressions? Could it be related to their identities and backgrounds? Could there be some danger approaching...?
In a short period of time, Gu Lingyan thought of several possibilities.
A quarter of an hour later
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's start. Husband, you tell the story." Bai Fengdie didn't want to talk. She was afraid that she would burst into tears while talking. She didn't want to embarrass herself in front of her children in this last moment.
"Okay, then I'll tell you."
Gu Lingfeng had already guessed what was going on and felt very sad about the impending separation.
"Daddy, you say"
"It's like this. Your mother and I are about to leave you. You will have to walk the rest of the way on your own. You two should have guessed it.
Your mother and I, no, our whole family do not belong to the Cerro Continent. We come from another continent that is higher than the Cerro Continent.
As for which continent we are from, you will know it later. The information is in the things your mother and I left for you. Because our enemies have been chasing us, we have been living comfortably in this Cerro continent for several years.
Your brother was only about one year old, so we had no choice but to find a remote place with scarce spiritual energy to recuperate. Later, when your mother became pregnant with Yan'er, we decided to wait until you grew up. Now that you have grown up a lot and understood a lot, you will go to Zhongzhou's Yuntian Academy to practice."
Bai Fengdie burst into tears after hearing what Gu Shenghao said, but she tried hard to suppress her tears, thinking that she couldn't embarrass herself in front of her children, but she really couldn't help it.
This caused Gu Lingyan and Gu Lingfeng to start crying as well. Parting is always painful.
Gu Lingyan hated the enemies who had separated their family. She secretly vowed in her heart that she must practice hard and kill her enemies with her own hands.
