Chapter 17: Chapter 15: What is Generosity?_1
Translator: 549690339
What does 500 Jin represent?
It signifies that Yang Chen has reached the Body Refining Realm Second Layer, and he is not far from the Body Refining Realm Third Layer. Such an achievement for a thirteen-year-old boy can be considered neither good nor bad. In the Yang family, it can’t be called outstanding, only excellent.
But what if one reaches the Body Refining Realm Second Layer from a weakling in just three days?
Yes, it’s impossible for an ordinary person to achieve the Second Layer of the Body Refining Realm in just three days.
But that doesn’t mean a genius can’t do it!
Genius! A very admirable word.
In the Yang family, there are many who claim to be geniuses, and many who are considered geniuses by others. For instance, Yang Heng’s older brother Yang Wu, who also reached the Body Refining Realm Fourth Layer when he was thirteen years old, is known as a genius. But what kind of genius is he? The Great Wilderness has seen real geniuses, like those who reached the Spirit Martial Realm at the age of eighteen. Now that’s a true demon genius.
At that time, wasn’t the speed of his cultivation similar to his younger brother? To go from an inexperienced ordinary person, to achieving the Body Refining Realm Second Layer after just three days of seclusion?
She didn’t know that Yang Chen had already started practicing martial arts and thought that her younger brother had been cultivating for only three days.
But in reality, Yang Chen’s real cultivation time wasn’t actually three days, but it wasn’t all that different either.
Now, Yang Chen clapped his hands, turned around and smiled, “Older Sister, what do you think?”
Yang Caidie didn’t say anything, but her eyes were moist. She hugged Yang Chen tightly with a ‘wow’ sound, her tears dripping down, making this woman even more stunning. She completely ignored the rules about not being too intimate between men and women, hugging Yang Chen tightly, almost suffocating him.
“My dear, it’s my fault. If I had known you were a genius earlier, I wouldn’t have held you back for so long.” Yang Caidie felt guilty and regretful. Many times, she just didn’t want Yang Chen to suffer so much.
Yang Chen was taken aback by Yang Caidie’s fierce appearance, and soon he couldn’t help but laugh, “Older Sister, it’s okay, it’s fine now. Don’t cry.”
Yang Caidie cried even harder, making Yang Chen feel helpless. Perhaps this woman’s tears were not just because of guilt, but also years of grievances. Before, Yang Caidie couldn’t express these grievances, but in reality, how could a woman support a family alone for so many years without any bitterness?
However, with these grievances, Yang Caidie couldn’t tell Yang Chen in the past. But now, upon seeing Yang Chen’s talent, it seemed as if a key had unlocked her door of grievances, and she couldn’t help but let them flow.
Gu Mingyue also wiped her tears, sobbing, mumbling to herself, “My young master is a genius, my young master is a genius…”
…
Yang Chen began to doubt whether showing off his strength was the right decision. Because ever since Gu Mingyue followed him out, her big eyes were full of admiration. It was as if she was bewitched, and even her walk was full of confidence.
It took Yang Chen some effort to comfort Yang Caidie before he planned to go to Elder Yang’s place, taking Gu Mingyue with him. As a result, the little girl’s eyes never left him the moment she stepped outside, following him closely like he was her idol.
Gu Mingyue is now full of confidence. In fact, albeit Zhou Huaiyi’s betrayal, he did make a good point. In the past, the servants of Yang Chen’s house found it difficult to hold their heads high outside and even dared not say they were Yang Chen’s servants, for fear of being laughed at.
Even if Gu Mingyue didn’t admit it, how could she not have a trace of inferiority in her heart?
But now, it’s different.
No matter what others know, in her eyes, her young master is a genius.
“Ming Yue, remember to be respectful when you speak to Second Master.” Yang Chen instructed her.
“Don’t worry, Young Master.” Gu Mingyue smiled.
Yang Chen nodded, without any unnecessary concerns, as Gu Mingyue, although young, was quite thoughtful about manners.
Going to Elder Yang’s place was something Yang Chen had to do. After all, Elder Yang had already instructed him to go there and take a look. Even in his previous life, he was outstanding in the Way of Alchemy and shocked the secular world. But in this life, he was just an ordinary person in the Yang family. Despite his recent outstanding performance, he still needed to show enough respect to his elders.
Moreover, the alchemy environment at Elder Yang’s place was much better than his own, and Yang Chen was more than happy to practice alchemy there.
But, he didn’t know if it was a coincidence or not. Just halfway there, he suddenly ran into his long-time rival in the Yang family, Yang Heng.
It was not clear how Zhou Huaiyi pleased Yang Heng, but the previously flatterer Xiao Hui was now replaced by Zhou Huaiyi. Now, Zhou Huaiyi was fawning over Yang Heng, following him closely and bowing low in submission.
Yang Heng was also in high spirits now. The source of his high spirits was a beautiful young girl beside him. The girl was probably about thirteen or fourteen years old, and she indeed looked stunning. However, from Yang Chen’s perspective, there was a coldness in the girl’s eyes, suggesting a mean nature.
Looking at Yang Heng’s momentum, it seemed that he had launched a crazy pursuit of this girl, and it was clearly effective. At least, the girl seemed to have opened her heart to him.
