After the testing, rankings were assigned to all the
children. My sister received the 4th rank among the girls, and
coincidentally, I became the fourth brother. Fu Jun was named the 6th
brother, and Fu Ai became the 6th sister. The 5th sister
is from a side branch of the family. After the ranking ceremony, we all
returned to our yards. My father, who is legendary "daughter slave," told my
sister, "Oh, my girl, your daddy will miss you so much!" This was because,
starting tomorrow, she would have to live in a practice pavilion. Additionally,
this year is the sect selection, and it's highly likely we'll all have to leave
for a sect soon.
Seeing my father's emotional display, I quickly went to my mother. "Mother, let's have dinner," after that, we all enjoyed
our meal.
My mother is preparing to enter an long retreat that will last at least seven years. Her cultivation deteriorated after giving birth to me, but her foundation had already recovered after she consumed a pregnancy fruit while giving birth to my sister.
Because her cultivation level had dropped after my birth, she need to meditate in retreat to recover it. She was originally a Nascent Soul cultivator, and it's also thanks to the pregnancy fruit, she only needs at least seven years of isolated meditation to return to her original level. In the cultivation world, this isn't considered a long time; otherwise, it would have taken her almost two decades to fully recover. The higher the cultivator's level, the greater the harm pregnancy generally inflicts on their cultivation.
She has been putting off her long retreat which is important very important because she wanted to spend time with us during our childhood. She do not want to be absent in it She is simply waiting for my sister and me to be selected by a sect before she finally goes into isolation for her meditation.
