Goodness!
They caused such a commotion and lost face in front of those who came to take the test, showing them the so-called "fairness" of the Heavenly Mystery Sect.
If it weren't for the fact that he found two great treasures, the sect leader would have really wanted to throw Yuheng out.
A stubborn dragon!
He always wears a reliable and aloof face, but he ends up doing all sorts of unreliable things.
It's no wonder that the elders and the sect leader have such a lot of resentment, because Yuheng is often unreliable, mainly because of his dragon clan identity.
Dragons are a very strange mythical beast race. They love collecting things, and most of them like shiny gold items or food. Some like to collect books, jewelry, or scrap metal.
In short, quirks and habits are incredibly diverse.
But Yuheng is different; he's special because he likes to pick up little children!
Ever since he came of age, he has been collecting everywhere—no, picking up all sorts of little kids, demons, humans, talented ones, oddballs, abandoned ones…
It could be said that the children he picked up could occupy a large peak in the Tianji Sect, and he still tirelessly brought back more children.
Including Nian Wanzhou himself, he was also picked up by him, but this time he was extremely lucky, as he was an excellent prospective member of the divine beast clan.
This wasn't what angered the sect elders and sect leader the most. What really infuriated them was that he only took in the children, not raised or educated them.
It was like they picked it up, handed it over to their senior brothers, and then left without a care in the world.
When asked, his answer was always the same: "No, I don't understand, no one has taught me." If he hadn't always been incredibly fast and wasn't the youngest of the elders, he might have been skinned alive.
This does resemble a demon like the Guhuoniao, but he's not the Guhuoniao, so why is he doing this?!
Raising children doesn't cost money, does it?
Raising children doesn't take any effort, right?
Later, many people set their sights on the Tianji Sect, hoping the sect would raise their children for free, and quite a few children were abandoned.
Some are more subtle, relying on sympathy to pass the test and then bringing their younger siblings in. Although some of them may have some talent, the younger ones usually have no talent at all.
They're just here to freeload.
This gave the sect leader and others a real headache. In the end, they dragged Yuheng back and gave him a good beating, telling him to stop picking up children randomly.
If you had picked up someone with some talent, even just a little bit, that would be fine. But most of the ones you picked up are just average. Only a few are promising talents. Not only did they drag down your own sect, but they also ran away!
A group of ordinary people stayed in the sect, but they were of no use and had to pay for their own children.
It's not even their own child, who would want to go through all this trouble!
Later, for a period of time, people would leave their newborn babies, and even children as old as seven or eight, at the foot of Tianji Sect Mountain, begging Tianji Sect to take their children in.
It was Zongli who turned the tide, sending all the abandoned children to charitable institutions, providing them with financial assistance, and declaring that he would no longer accept children. With this firm stance, such incidents decreased significantly.
In other cases, after investigating, the child will be sent back the way they came; if that doesn't work, they will be taken to a charity.
Then, Yuheng would always leave for a long time whenever he went out, and he would also keep a very low profile when he returned (afraid of being ganged up on by his senior brothers and sisters, which would make him lose face).
Just between you and me: the eldest brother, Song Yan, was also picked up by Yuheng.
Therefore, the pairing of Nian Wanzhou and Nanyu for testing was naturally seen as an attempt to gain sympathy.
Then they were targeted.
If it weren't for her extraordinary talent, she probably would have been kicked out of the sect.
I am grateful for the talent bestowed upon me by Heaven.
...
After the sect leader finished scolding and calmed down with several elders, he looked at the dazed Nian Wanzhou.
They say he has a divine spirit body, but this child doesn't seem very bright...
Nan Yu, standing beside Yu Heng like a clueless goose, also seemed rather dim-witted. The sect leader muttered to himself, "Could it be that he's influenced by his surroundings?"
Both children looked...
"Child, do you still remember how powerful your parents were?" The sect leader also asked this question. He had lived longer and had seen more powerful figures, so he wanted to find out the truth just in case.
Moreover, a mythical beast clan capable of laying dragon eggs silently must be no ordinary creature.
Nian Wanzhou shook her head: "I don't remember. When I woke up in the egg, I didn't see any other demons besides Uncle Nanyu... Brother."
She couldn't say she was born from a dragon egg, since she was a transmigrator and couldn't explain how she came to be. Besides, what if she revealed something and got sliced up?
Fortunately, dragons are so rare that it's difficult to verify them, and there's no fear of being exposed.
Then she asked, puzzled, "Sect Master, I want to ask you, is this True Dragon Body because I am a dragon? What is the Immortal Spirit Body? How do I cultivate it?"
She was genuinely curious!
True dragons and immortal spirits—these must all be blessings bestowed upon her by the Heavenly Dao, right?
Otherwise, it wouldn't look so impressive.
And by sheer coincidence, they were found by an elder of the Heavenly Mystery Sect and taken back to the sect where the male and female protagonists belonged.
Having read many books, Nian Wanzhou also knew that this was called luck, good fortune that only those born with luck could possess. She never expected it would be used on her; Heaven was truly generous.
"That's roughly the relationship, but your bloodline seems purer, and your True Dragon Body is of a higher level than Yuheng's. As for the Immortal Spirit Body..." The sect leader paused, looking at Nian Wanzhou with envy.
"That means you were born to become an immortal, and you can achieve the Great Dao without any cultivation."
After she finished speaking, several elders looked at her with burning eyes. Nian Wanzhou felt like a piece of fat meat being stared at by a hungry wolf.
Without making a sound, she shrank into Yuheng's arms.
Uncles and aunts, please don't do this, I'm scared...
"As for cultivation, since you have the primary earth elemental root among the four spiritual roots, you can cultivate however you like. However, you still need to pass the sect's final test to determine which cultivation path you wish to take."
The sect leader finally managed to look away, pondering what kind of cultivation method he should choose for the brat.
Sword cultivator? Alchemist? Or weapon cultivator?
Well, let's see what the child wants.
Under the intense gazes of everyone, Nian Wanzhou shrank back and forth, hiding in Yu Heng's arms, wishing she could become invisible.
