All of the third generation girls had set up different table in the main hall and seating their with head lowered not daring to look up.
All of the adults in the room had different thoughts in there head. just the fact old Gu had allowed the girls to seat in the same area as them shows the changes that going to happened.
Everyone silently eat their food while stealing glances at the old Gu. But his calm and stern face made everyone stop observing him.
Soon, he was done eating and place his chopsticks down everyone also put down there chopsticks. The only person who's not effected by the atmosphere and continue eating is Gu yin.
Everyone tacitly ignore her after all she only little older then five. A child who maybe had not sense the atmosphere.
But she's actually taking the rare chances of eating the boiled eggs in the plate that the man in the family had not touched.
Her boldness made other around her sneak few bites of egg which is very rare items for them to eat.
Old Gu "yesterday I went to the city using the ox cart and spend my day asking around about the sect entrance test"
Everyone expression change some were excited, some were not happy but they still didn't said anything.
Old madam "husband, you aren't thinking about taking them for the test are you" her expression was not good.
In her eyes one just need to raise them few years before marrying them off the only contribution they can do is to give birth.
If Gu yin could heard her thought she really had asked if she is secretly man not women, such thought against her own gender.
Old Gu "I had asked around basic level test require no cost. one only need to have spirit root to take the test.
As for the primary test one teal of silver per child needed to be payed and high level test needed to pay five teal of silver"
Everyone gasp at the high level test price after all villagers like them pay one teal of silver as bridal price. Giving two teal of silver can be consider giving good face to the bride family.
But here the price is five time which mean no one above 12 year can participate in the test as for the primary one their family surely grit their teeth for boys to join.
At this point everyone were not that unwilling to support the girls taking the sect entrance test.
Gu yin "so, which sect we are going for" in her excitement of having her plan halfway succeed she even forget about the rules of the family.
Gu Wulang "what are you shouting for, is it your place to speak. You truly had grown wild and unruly even before joining the sect"
Gu yin lowered her head to hide the disgust on her face, as someone born and grown up in era where women are ruling the countries.
She really couldn't grind down her pride as women, in this women oppressing place 'once I had grown stronger let's see who will be on higher ground humph'
She lowered her head even more to not let him see her rebellious look least he decide to keep her at home.
Old Gu "the child hadn't asked wrong questions" Gu Wulang immediately quite down when he saw his father speaking up.
Old Gu "I connect an escort team who give me rough idea about all of the sect present in our realm.
Among five domian, four domain consist of two powerful clan and two sect both righteous and evil.
Our Qinghe domian have Clear River Pavillion Sect which put focus on wood and water spirit root with good talent.
They only accept noble born son and daughter, is not opened to pheasant like us only in fifth domian one can live up to their potential and talent.
Celestial Axis Domian which only have
All Dao Heaven Sect who accept kids regardless of their background. The only place where clan power don't work only true talent and hard work.
Also don't care about righteous or evil method what matter to them is talent and hard work one is putting in their cultivation.
That why I had decide that in a week we all will pack up and leave to celestial Axis Domian"
Everyone "...."
Gu Dahu "f-father celestial Axis Domian is another domian reaching their will take lot of time not only that travel expenses for whole family and danger in the journey are alot"
He anxiously try to explain the hardship they had to faced to go toward another domian. A completely different domian with no money in there pocket.
Gu Wulang "father I agree with brother, travelling alone will take lot of money. Not only that the chances of these tr-weak body kids entering the sect are very low"
At first he want to say trash but manage to change his words at critical moment. But his expression wasn't good.
Even though he want to use them to climb higher in status that doesn't supposed to mean he's willing to spend money on these few good-for-nothing.
But old Gu didn't stop them from questioning but spoke unhurriedly completely different from his anxious son.
Old Gu "although going to another domain is hard but the escort I connect happened to be going their in a week after they had gather goods to sell.
They will head their we just need to follow them. It will decrease the danger of the travel journey toward the domain.
As for traveling expenses I have decided. We will sell our house and farmland to gather the fund once we had reached their we settle in that domain"
Everyone "...."
Silence filled the whole room sneaking action of few them stop. Gu yin stopped eating and look at old Gu with shock.
She had expected him to support the idea but selling there whole property to go in foreign domian on just one hope. It's both courageous and stupid at the same time.
