"Yes, if we hadn't saved some money from a good business in the past few years, we might not be able to open the pot now, but it's not enough to waste it like this. Xiuyang has also reached the age of studying. We have been tailors all our lives.

We can’t delay the child!”

"Old lady, you're right. I'm still in good health. Let's see if I can go out and find some work. But I'm afraid the Eight Immortals Town won't be able to survive. If I want to make money, I have to go out and try my luck!"

"Oh, old man, is there no other way? Your leg has an old injury and you shouldn't travel far!"

"It doesn't matter, as long as Xiuyang can change her ways and become successful in the future, I won't worry about risking my life!"

Jin Xiuyang was lying on the crack of the door listening to the conversation between the two elders. Unknowingly, she was crying. There was no trace of the domineering demeanor of one person fighting seven boys during the day.

When Sangu Ding heard the commotion, she immediately made a silent gesture towards Zhao Yuanying and stopped continuing the topic.

"Oh, my baby girl is back, why is she still crying? Tell mom, who bullied my Xiuyang, mom, go and avenge you!"

Sangu Ding opened the door and happened to see Jin Xiuyang hiding on one side. Her heart softened and she held her in her arms, wiping her tears and comforting her.

"Mom, I don't want to go to school, let alone go on a long trip with my father!" Jin Xiuyang wiped away her tears and cried even more aggrieved.

"It's not enough if you don't study. Look how naughty you are now. Even if I continue to indulge you, I won't tear down the Eight Immortals Town!" Zhao Yuanying had a dark face and slammed the table hard, looking like a stern father.

Jin Xiuyang was obviously afraid of Zhao Yuanying, so she timidly poked her little head into Ding Sangu's arms, sobbing softly: "If they hadn't called me Nieying, how could I be so naughty!"

When Zhao Yuanying heard what the child said, the fire that had just been ignited in his heart because of the rebuttal was extinguished. He sighed indifferently, and his whole face seemed to have aged a lot. He and Ding Sangu made eye contact.

, they all saw deep helplessness in each other's eyes. Behind this helplessness, he felt even more terrified. In the future, if the two of them closed their eyes, considering how much the people in the town hated this child, they might really...

He couldn't tolerate her! Although he didn't dare to kill Jin Xiuyang while they were alive due to the threat of the mad demon, but after they died, a demon who had not been heard from for ten years would still have some remaining power.

Maybe he has become a dead soul under the sword of the righteous way long ago. Even if the madman comes to the town before he is dead, and there will be no evidence of his death, who can tell clearly.

The more Zhao Yuanying thought about it, the more horrified she felt. As long as the child received an education, even if he learned a trade, and was sent to the Eight Immortals Town in the future, he would at least be able to live a peaceful life. Thinking of this, his newly softened heart became as hard as stone.

.

"Is it a naughty reason to retaliate with grievances? In short, you must go to this school! If you don't succeed in your studies, don't come back."

Jin Xiuyang felt aggrieved. She just didn't want to be a burden to this family, but was it so difficult to be understood? Her shoulders shook and she cried harder.

"Dad, it's not that I don't want to go to school. I heard what you said. You have an old disease in your legs. I just don't want you to travel far away. I just don't want you to travel far away for me... Wuwuwu...

....”

"Then teach me some tricks!" Zhao Yuanying felt like a stick had pierced his intestines a thousand times, but his face remained unmoved.

Unknowingly, Sangu Ding had tears in her eyes and kept patting Jin Xiuyang's back: "Old man, please stop saying a few words!"

At midnight, Jin Xiuyang was lying on the bed in her room, tossing and turning, not sleepy at all, only feeling upset.

She quietly got up and opened the door carefully, fearing to wake up the sleeping elders. She sat melancholy on the wall of the courtyard alone, staring at the stars in the sky in a daze.

Ever since she could remember, whenever she was worried, she would sit here and talk to herself in front of the bright moon in the starry sky.

"My father is determined to travel far away for me to go to school. However, he has an old disease in his legs that makes him sweat profusely even if he walks a mile or two. Wouldn't this trip to the Eight Immortals Town mean a narrow escape from death?

But if I don’t agree, he will be mad at me, Moon, Moon, what do you think I should do?”

There was no light in the Eight Immortals Town at night, with only a bright moon in the sky, and except for the rustling of cicadas hidden among the cordyceps, there was no sound at all.

Jin Xiuyang curled up her little head between her knees, and tears fell silently. Suddenly, a soft light enveloped her body without any warning. Under the moonlight, it seemed as if she was alive.

It detached from her body and transformed into a bunch, gently wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Jin Xiuyang raised her head blankly: "This feeling is so warm! What is this?"

Just when Jin Xiuyang's face was full of doubts, the light pointed at the starry sky at night, and then seemed to have insufficient power, and suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

"It, it seems to be guiding me?" Jin Xiuyang muttered to himself in shock as he looked at the direction in which the light beam dissipated. His little face was filled with doubts, "The starry sky, what is there in the starry sky? Apart from the stars and the moon, there is nothing like it.

All gone!"

"No, the stars and the moon?" Jin Xiuyang's eyes suddenly widened, and she covered her mouth with her small hand, feeling a little unconfident, "Maybe it's talking about the Xingyue Sect, right! Calculate the time, it's still time for the Xingyue Sect to recruit students.

It’s coming in half a year.”

Jin Xiuyang was happy for a moment, but suddenly thought of something else, and the look on his face suddenly turned sad again: "It is said that all the Xingyue Sect are immortals, and the number of disciples they recruit is even rarer. How could they look at it?"

Come on me!"

"But...but if I can't enter the Xingyue Sect, my father will have to travel far away, and the injury on his leg..." Jin Xiuyang's eyes changed back and forth when he thought of Zhao Yuanying, and they instantly became firm.

Her pink and tender little fists were clenched tightly, "No, for the sake of daddy, I will definitely enter the Xingyue Sect even if there are many difficulties and dangers!"

As soon as the sun was shining brightly, Jin Xiuyang trotted into the room of Zhao Yuanying and his wife.

"Dad, Mom! I have thought of a way to go to school!"

Sangu Ding opened her eyes sleepily and stuck half of her head out: "It's not bright yet, and I'm getting naughty again. As a little girl, what can you think of to do to go to school? Go back to the house and sleep!"

He lay down, as if he was still dreaming.

Zhao Yuanying obviously thought it was a child's prank and didn't take it to heart at all. He didn't even raise his head.

Jin Xiuyang saw that the two elders were not moved at all, so she jumped on the bed and started to move her hands up and down: "Oh, mom and dad, get up quickly, I'm going to Xingyue Sect!"

"Well, let's go, let's go. It's time to recruit students for the five-year Xingyue Sect!" Zhao Yuanying dozed off and continued talking. He turned over and was about to continue sleeping. Suddenly he realized something was wrong.

Sit up straight in bed!

"What did you say? We are going to Xingyue Sect!"

Jin Xiuyang flashed her big eyes and played with her ponytail with both hands: "Yes, dad, as long as I go to Xingyue Sect, you don't have to worry about my schooling, and you don't have to leave the town to do business. And it is said that I was

The disciples chosen by Xingyue Sect not only do not need to pay any fees, they can also give their families five taels of silver every month, which can also solve our urgent needs!"

Listening to Jin Xiuyang's talk, Sangu Ding was already completely sleepless. She didn't know when she sat aside and said, "Xiuyang, the Xingyue Sect pays very well, but it's not something ordinary people can get into just by asking! Mother's work.

After almost fifty years, the Xingyue Sect has only taken three disciples from the Eight Immortals Town!"

"What your mother said is right, and Xingyue Sect is extremely strict in recruiting disciples. There are three levels in total. I think back then I couldn't even pass the first level. The old disease in my leg was caused by that, and even if I passed

If you pass the first two levels, how many people will miss out on this sect in the third level!"

Zhao Yuanying seemed to be thinking about the past many years ago, and even after several years, his expression changed.

"Mom and dad, please stop scaring me. Maybe your daughter is a genius and is the one-in-a-million candidate."

"That won't work. The Xingyue Sect is so harsh in its selection of candidates that it can kill people at every turn. Your mother and I have only one precious daughter, and we will not let you participate in any case!"

Seeing that Zhao Yuanying was a little angry, Jin Xiuyang lowered her head and puffed out her mouth and muttered in a low voice: "If you don't let me participate, I won't participate. When will I grow up if you keep me in a cage every day?" After that, he ignored the faces of the two elders.

With a shocked expression, he ran back to his room in a hurry.
