Gu yin look at Gu Ming who's honestly working in the field like his father but unlike his father who's easy to trick, he's extremely smart and cunning.

She didn't directly went to him but waited till he took a break from the field work and went to seat under the shade to rest.

Gu yin "cousin Ming, here water" she sweetly hand him the bamboo tube filled with water.

He give her a look "what do you want" her lips twitch although he's smart he's too blunt.

Gu yin "at least give me some face" she whine without any embarrassment. after all her current age is just little over five.

He sheepishly rub his neck as he spoke "well can you tell me if theirs anything I can help you with" he change his word trying to be little tactful.

She chuckle at his awkward cover up as she enthusiasmly spoke "brother what about you convincing elders to let us take sect entrance test"

He had just taken a sip of water but as soon as he heard her. he spite out all of the water, choking and coughing badly.

She try to help him by patting his back "drink carefully, how can you just choke on water" she lightly lecture him.

"Who's at fault, if you had said something this shocking who won't be shocked. Not only that do you think our parents or grandparents will agree" he counter her.

Her eyes lit up when she heard him asking that she's just waiting for it "you don't to worry about it that much"

"Listen to me it's useless. I know that you want to become strong but our family will be not that supportive of you"

He helplessly spoke, he also want his sister's to be happy to let them do whatever they want but... Sign

"Cousin, sister ya have four spirit root with average talent" he look at her in shock, he had not heard about it yet but if it's true then.

When she saw him deep in thoughts she knew that he had taken the bait, she just need to guide him.

Gu yin" brother look we women in the family had only one purpose, that's to marry in rich family who can help Gu family boys. You know more then well how much a cultivator girl will be sought after"

His eyes lit up "leave this to me" if it's convincing those people on others things they might not listen.

But the matter of marriage will made them waver after all, it's a known fact if both parents are cultvator then child talent will be much higher then parents.

If we put there focus on this point theirs chance for them to listen and think about this matter more carefully.

As for them as long as they enter the sect do those people think they will let them control as they want.

Well she's sure to be not under control she can't say about her others cousins, she happily grab her basket and went to the mountains.

She again gather some vegetables and eat some with her sisters, she didn't mention this matter to others.

If she told them now and those people didn't agree it's was like giving them hope first, then destroying it.

So, she silently wait for him to talk to the adults, as the sky darken she start becoming nervous and excited.

She already had planned everything if Gu Ming failed to convince them, then on the day of her spirit root test.

She will be sneaking away from this place, but the journey is sure to be filled with danger and hardship.

But she is not staying in this village forever even if it's mean to put herself in danger and travel from the village.

As soon as the sky darken they set up the tables to eat the dinner. After all the girls had seat own to eat their own food.

Everyone were focused on eating their food only two people were not interested in eating their food at all.

In the living room everyone were busy eating but Gu Ming wasn't interested in eating, forth daughter-in-law his mother lightly nudged at him.

He look at his mother then at the closed kitchen door, taking a deep breath he put his chopsticks down.

His action of not eating his food already had catch old master Gu attention so when he put down his chopsticks he lightly ask.

"What happened, not hungry" Gu Ming body stiffened he's honestly scared of his strict grandfather but he still mutter his strength to speak for his sister's.

"Grandfather, actually theirs something that I want to talk to about" now everyone on the table are staring at him curiously.

His father and mother were looking at him worriedly, he smile at them to calm them down and look at his grandfather with some determination.

"Grandfather, few days ago when me and father went to the town for egg exchange I heard about a rich family marrying a women who's a cultivator, according to the people the family had given hundred of teals of silver as bethrol gift to the girl family"

Old master Gu "are you saying we should spend huge amount of money on the girls in family to become cultivator's" Gu Ming gulp nervously whole father tug at his cloth shaking his head.

Gu Ming "no grandfather we don't need to spend money on them, but we can let them take the sect entrance test, if they manage to join the sect not only it will be matter of honour for our family, in the future many people will be fighting for their hand in marriage"

He waited for his grandfather to speak but theirs was nothing but silence which was his answer he didn't agree to his words.

So, eat this dinnner and grab his own dirty dishes to walk toward the kitchen but he stop at the door and drop another line.
