MTLNOVEL Chapter 12: 12 Letter and Earrings
12 Letter and EarringsYe Wenzhu and the two bored immortals, who had originally given up any hope, were startled by the sudden appearance of the red light.
Qin Qing's voice trembled a little. He suddenly walked in front of Ye Wenzhu, carefully examined the crystal ball, and announced after confirming that it was correct.
"Top-grade fire spirit root, spirit root value 90! Test passed, little sister, come to the side and stay for a while."
Ye Wenzhu was so frightened by the sudden enthusiasm of the immortal that she dared not move and just stood beside Zhou Xiaoying in a daze.
With the appearance of this top-grade fire spiritual root, the expressions of the two immortals immediately looked much better, and their attitudes towards the children who were to be tested next also became much more moderate.
Soon, it was Luo Mingyi's turn to take the test.
Luo Mingyi first bowed to the two immortals, then gently placed his hands on the crystal ball. Suddenly, five kinds of light burst out from the crystal ball, just as Shen Huang said.
"The five spiritual roots are water, fire, wood, metal, and earth. But her spiritual root values are: water spiritual root 100! Fire spiritual root 100! Wood spiritual root 20, earth spiritual root 20, and metal spiritual root 20?"
"Hey, senior brother, look at her spiritual root value, how could it be like this!" Qin Qing couldn't understand why Luo Mingyi's spiritual root value was so strange. Water and fire both reached the perfect spiritual root value of one in a million, but the other three spiritual roots were only barely twenty?
Fang Ziang was also a little confused, but this girl's water and fire spiritual roots were perfect. As for the wood spiritual roots, he would have to wait until he returned to the sect to ask the elders.
"You should stand with them too!" Qin Qing said to Luo Mingyi.
Luo Mingyi bowed, turned around and stood next to Ye Wenzhu and Zhou Xiaoying. She also heard what the two immortals said just now. Is there something wrong with her spiritual roots?
"Wow, Mingyi, we can actually go to the Immortal Gate together, that's really great. Oh, by the way, there's Xiaoying too."
Zhou Xiaoying was from Linjiang Village, so Luo Mingyi naturally knew her. Although they had never played together, she looked familiar.
Luo Mingyi nodded, but her eyes looked at her grandfather who was waiting for her behind.
As the testing team gradually became shorter, one person with five spiritual roots was finally tested out, and the spiritual root value of each person was seventy. He was a fat boy from the neighboring Linjiang Village, about eight or nine years old, named Chen Lin.
Among more than a hundred children, only four had spiritual roots. Everyone felt that spiritual roots were too difficult to obtain.
But the two immortals did not think so. They had originally gone out to the mortal world to select disciples for their sect. This time they passed by Yunshui Village, and because they did not want to see the people suffer, they used the cloud and rain magic to resolve the drought.
But I didn't expect that these two small villages could produce four children with spiritual roots. Among them, one has a top-grade fire spiritual root, and the other has full-value water and fire spiritual roots.
Just by virtue of being disciples with top-grade fire spiritual roots, the two of them can get a lot of benefits from the sect.
So, the two of them were very generous and gave each of the four people a large amount of gold.
Finally, he reminded: "From now on, the four of you are disciples of our Danxia Sect. As for whether you can eventually enter the outer sect or the inner sect, you still need to go through an assessment. Take the gold and go back to your families. Tomorrow at noon, the four of you should come here and we will set off!"
Seeing the four people nodded, the two immortals waved their hands, and the door of the room opened automatically. Luo Mingyi and the other three only felt a flash before their eyes, and the two immortals had already entered the room, and the door closed with a clang.
At this time, the families of the four of them dared to come forward.
After saying goodbye to the other three friends, Luo Mingyi went home with Zhang Huaishu.
On the way, Zhang Huaishu asked her, "Girl, have you decided whether you want to go to the Immortal Gate?"
Luo Mingyi paused and said, "Grandpa, although I am reluctant to leave you, but..." Luo Mingyi finished his words, but Zhang Huaishu understood.
Her granddaughter has always been very opinionated.
"Let's go, girl. Grandpa has something to give you when we get back."
After returning, Zhang Huaishu asked Luo Mingyi to sit in the main room, and he went into the inner room. After a while, he came out with a letter in his hand.
"Child, this letter was placed on you when I found you. Take a look at it!"
Luo Mingyi held the envelope, his hands trembling slightly. Could this letter be given to her by her biological parents?
She gently took out the letter, with the envelope facing downwards, and immediately a pair of white jade pearl earrings fell out.
Luo Mingyi looked at her grandfather with a puzzled look, but Zhang Huaishu didn't say anything and gestured for her to read the contents of the letter.
"My daughter Luo Mingyi has been raised by you, my benefactor. I have a pair of pearl earrings that can be sold for silver to support my daughter as she grows up. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness and I will definitely repay you in the future!"
This letter was really left by her parents. What about these earrings?
"Grandpa, why didn't you sell the earrings?"
Zhang Huaishu smiled lovingly and patted Luo Mingyi's head. "Child, this is the only thing your parents left you. If I sell it, when I am a hundred years old, or when your biological parents come to find you, how can you prove your identity?"
Luo Mingyi's eyes were instantly filled with tears. She turned around and hugged her grandfather's thin body, sobbing.
"Thank you, Grandpa. When I learn some skills, I will take you to the Immortal Gate for a good trip!"
Zhang Huaishu stroked Luo Mingyi's hair and said softly, "Okay, stop crying. Grandpa will wait for Mingyi here until she comes back to pick me up, okay?"
Luo Mingyi nodded vigorously, "Okay, then it's a deal!"
"Okay, it's a deal."
"Grandpa, here are ten taels of gold. Please keep them. But once I leave, you will be the only one left. Why don't we go to the town now and deposit the silver in the bank in the town to prevent others from worrying about it."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Immediately, the grandfather and grandson got on the carriage to the town. After arriving at the money shop, he exchanged ten taels of gold for five hundred taels of silver.
He wanted to save half of it, but Zhang Huaishu refused. He forced 400 taels of silver on Luo Mingyi, but Luo Mingyi refused to take it. However, Zhang Huaishu was like a stubborn donkey at this time. If Luo Mingyi refused to accept it, he would not take a penny of the silver.
After much pushing and shoving, Luo Mingyi finally accepted only two hundred taels of silver.
He used one hundred taels of the remaining three hundred taels of silver to buy a small courtyard for Zhang Huaishu in the town, and told him not to teach anymore and just live a more relaxed life in the town.
Of the remaining two hundred taels, he kept fifty taels with him, and deposited the remaining one hundred and fifty taels in the money shop.
After doing all this, it was almost dark, so the grandfather and grandson had to hurry back to Yunshui Village. Zhang Huaishu packed his bags, while Luo Mingyi went to the village chief's house.
It happened that the heads of the two villages were together at that time. Luo Mingyi resigned from the position of teacher of the two villages on behalf of his grandfather and gave fifty silver coins to each person in the two villages.
The reason was that Zhang Huaishu, as the only teacher, suddenly resigned, which would cause inconvenience to the two villages, and the money was only used to hire another teacher. But in fact, the two village chiefs understood that the girl wanted them to take good care of her grandfather after she left.
On the last night in Yunshui Village, Luo Mingyi couldn't sleep at all.
