Chu Xingyun opened his mouth but did not know what to say in the face of Ding Ning's pleading.
Chu Xingyun knew that it was indeed not suitable for Ding Ning to return home. Otherwise, who knew if her parents would once again sell her off for money.
However, even if he knew this, she was still a virgin. How could she follow a man like him?
Although Chu Xingyun knew that he did not have any ulterior motives, it was hard to keep everyone from talking.
Seeing Chu Xingyun's hesitation, Ding Ning begged, "I beg you, don't chase me away. I am willing to be a slave or a maid."
Yes, yes …
Ding Xiang grabbed Chu Xingyun's sleeve and also begged, "I only have one sister. She is the person who treats me the best in this world. You can't ignore her."
Rubbing his forehead, Chu Xingyun looked at Ding Ning and said, "It is not that I don't care about you. It is just that it is inconvenient for us to be alone. I don't want to ruin your reputation."
Ding Ning shook her head sadly and said, "I am a married woman. What reputation do I have? As long as you don't despise me, I … I …"
Painfully scratching his head, Chu Xingyun said, "That's right … what is your attribute and what is its grade?"
Ding Ning shook her head blankly at Chu Xingyun's question and said, "I don't know either."
Don't know?
Chu Xingyun felt that Ding Ning's answer was a bit incredulous. Ding Ning was not a three or two-year-old child. How could she not know what her attribute was and what its grade was?
Seeing Chu Xingyun's stunned expression, Ding Xiang explained, "Sister was married off as soon as she came of age. Father did not want to pay for her to test her attributes."
He nodded in understanding. Generally speaking, the better the parents' talent, the stronger the child's talent.
If the parents were just ordinary people, their children wouldn't be that outstanding.
Looking at Chu Xingyun, Lilac said, "Do you want Elder Sister to enter the Southern Ming Academy as well? But this year's recruitment has already ended. We have to wait for at least a year before we can … "
Nodding his head, Chu Xingyun said, "It doesn't matter if you enter the Southern Ming Academy or not. The crux of the matter is … if you don't cultivate, not only will your lifespan be short, it will also be very difficult for you to obtain an identity and status. It will also be very difficult for you to realize your dreams and ambitions."
"You … you mean! You want to provide for me to enter the academy? "Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, Ding Ning felt his heart beating rapidly!
Ding Ning's biggest dream in his life was to become a cultivator. Just like in the novels, he could fly in the sky and burrow into the ground. With a flick of his finger, he could topple the mountains and overturn the seas.
However, Ding Ning also knew that as a girl born in an ordinary family, she had no chance to enter the school.
Facing Ding Ning's question, Chu Xingyun said, "Actually, I don't need to provide for you. Your sister is now a rich woman."
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, Ding Ning looked at Lilac with a puzzled expression. Clearly … she could not understand how Lilac had become a rich woman after not seeing her for a few days.
Facing her sister's questioning gaze, Lilac said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. This money is all his. I'm just safekeeping it for him."
Hearing her sister's words, Ding Ning immediately understood. She looked gratefully at Chu Xingyun. Clearly … in Ding Ning's opinion, he was being considerate and did not want her to bear the burden of her heart.
However, he still underestimated her. She, Ding Ning, was definitely not an ungrateful person.
When Chu Xingyun rescued her from the abyss of suffering, she owed him a great favor.
She knew her own situation. If it were not for Chu Xingyun, she really did not know how long she could have persevered. That kind of life was worse than death.
Since she owed him such a great favor, she did not care if she owed him more. At most … she would use her entire life to repay him.
While thinking, Ding Ning raised her head and looked at Chu Xingyun. "I want to enter the school, but … I have never tested my talent. If it's possible …"
Although Ding Ning did not finish her sentence, Chu Xingyun still understood her thoughts.
After rushing back to the center of Nanming City, Chu Xingyun directly brought Ding Ning and Lilac to the Spirit Hall that was responsible for testing attributes and grades outside the Nanming Academy's eastern gate.
Unlike the Nanming Academy's Lower Academy, the Spirit Hall could test all kinds of talents, not just fire-elemental talents.
However, the Nanming Academy's annual enrollment test was free, while the Spirit Hall was a profitable shop.
As the most authoritative testing department, the Spirit Hall specialized in testing attributes and grades. Of course … the price was also very expensive.
After entering the Spirit Hall, Chu Xingyun paid two million spirit stones and then instructed Lilac and Ding Ning to undergo the most detailed test to determine their future path.
The first to be tested was Lilac. She went through the most detailed and comprehensive test.
Lilac had the sixth-grade Astral Purple Flame.
Ding Ning had the sixth-grade Astral Green Flame.
Looking at the two sisters, Chu Xingyun felt a little puzzled. Logically speaking, it should not be like this.
Although sixth-grade fire-elemental talents were not considered high, … it was not something that could be easily obtained by commoners.
Like the Abyss Magic Bugs, humans were also constantly evolving.
The stronger the parents were, the higher the talent and potential of their offspring.
It was precisely because of the continuous efforts of thousands of generations of ancestors that the family bloodline would continuously evolve, and the descendants would become more and more outstanding, possessing greater potential and talents.
If every generation was lazy, then it would not take many generations for this bloodline to decline. Unless there was a rare phenomenon of atavism, it would be very difficult to produce a genius with high potential and talent.
In fact, most of the students who were qualified to enter the Nanming Academy were commoners with atavistic bloodlines.
If only Lilac's bloodline had atavistic atavism, then it would be easy to explain. However, Ding Ning's bloodline had also atavistic atavism. This was really too much of a coincidence.
What was even more coincidental was that Lilac and Shui Liu Xiang were like twins.
Although Ding Ning did not resemble Shui Qianyue, that was because Ding Ning was malnourished and could not compare to Shui Qianyue's plumpness.
Just as the fat shopkeeper had said, once Ding Ning's nutrition caught up and her body became plump, who knew how beautiful she would be.
Shaking his head, Chu Xingyun did not think about it anymore. After all … there were many coincidences in this world. How could he figure out and understand everything clearly?
Astral Fire was divided into two types. One was Yang Fire, and the other was Yin Fire.
Lilac's Astral Purple Flame was Astral Yang Fire.
Ding Ning's Astral Green Flame was Astral Yin Fire.
Unlike most flames, Astral Fire was a cold flame and did not have any temperature. Even if one touched it with their hands, they would not be burned.
Although these two flames did not have any temperature, if anyone thought that their power was weak, then they would be gravely mistaken.
Astral Purple Flame burned Mental Energy, while Astral Green Flame burned Soul Energy. When the two were superimposed on each other, their power was multiplied.
Looking at these beautiful sisters, Chu Xingyun could not help but think of Shui Liu Xiang and her two trusted aides — Ding Ding Dang Dang.
