The Two Little Ones Had Held On!

The two little ones held up very well!

Half a month passed quickly. With their perseverance and tenacity, Xiao Feng and Xiao Yue managed to get through this difficult period without the care of servants or financial assistance from Zhao Fu.

They relied on the wild grass in their backyard to fill their stomachs, and whenever they could no longer bear the hunger, they would muster their courage, put on their tattered clothes, and go back to the streets to beg.

Despite their hardship, they always adhered to their principles and never even considered taking the jewelry and paintings from their study.

Ye Jing had been quietly observing the two little ones, and he saw their resilience, courage, and honesty.

He was deeply gratified, knowing that the two children had passed his test.

Ye Jing decided to show himself. He stood at the door of the study, smiling as he watched Xiao Feng and Xiao Yue digging weeds in the backyard. The two little ones looked up and saw the kind-looking Mr. Zhao.

They were stunned for a moment, then their faces lit up with surprise, and they rushed over.

"Mr. Zhao, you're back!" Xiao Feng and Xiao Yue exclaimed in unison, their eyes sparkling with joy.

Ye Jing smiled and nodded. He stepped forward and gently patted the two little ones on the head. "Xiao Feng, Xiao Yue, I've seen how you've performed lately. You're very strong and brave, and more importantly, you haven't forgotten your original aspirations or been corrupted by money. I'm so glad; I know I didn't misjudge you."

Xiao Feng and Xiao Yue were stunned for a moment when they heard Ye Jing's praise, but then they immediately realized what he meant!

It turns out that Mr. Zhao had been testing them all this time!

"Waaah... Mr. Zhao, you're so mean..." Xiao Yue's big tears kept falling, her cute big eyes looking so pitiful!

The little boy's face lit up with a happy and relieved smile.

Fortunately, they held back!

However, both of them were genuinely happy, knowing that they had passed Ye Jing's test.

Ye Jing continued, "Xiao Feng, Xiao Yue, I want to tell you a secret. Actually, Zhao Fu is just one of my identities. My true identity is a master cultivator in the martial arts world. I travel among the mortals, searching for suitable disciples. Of course, you may not necessarily inherit my Cultivation Method; it depends on whose Cultivation Method suit you best."

"Now, I've found both of you."

Xiao Feng and Xiao Yue were both surprised to hear this. They hadn't expected that Mr. Zhao was actually a cultivator!

They never expected him to take them as his apprentices.

Ye Jing's figure shifted, returning to his original appearance. He smiled at them and said, "Would you like to come with me? There, you'll have no worries about food and drink, and someone will teach you cultivation, making you among the best in this world."

Xiao Feng and Xiao Yue exchanged a glance, both seeing the determination and expectation in each other's eyes. They answered in unison, "We do!"

Ye Jing smiled with satisfaction upon hearing their reply.

"Okay, now go take a shower and change into clean clothes. Then I'll take you out for a good meal before we leave!"

Xiao Feng and Xiao Yue were filled with excitement and anticipation upon hearing Ye Jing's words. They quickly ran to the well behind the house, washed away the mud and fatigue with the cool well water, and changed into their treasured clothes.

The two walked hand in hand to the door of the study. Ye Jing had already reverted to his original cultivator attire. He was dressed in a green robe, his long hair flowing, and his brows exuded an extraordinary and refined air.

Seeing the two little ones appear before him, clean and tidy, he nodded in satisfaction.

The two little ones were somewhat stunned; Mr. Zhao was so handsome!

"Come on, children, I'll take you to taste some real delicacies." Ye Jing smiled, took the two children's hands, and walked out of the mansion.

At a restaurant in the city, Ye Jing ordered a sumptuous meal for Xiao Feng and Xiao Yue.

The two looked at the table full of delicious food, their eyes sparkling with happiness.

They savored each dish, experiencing a delicious taste they had never known before. For them, this meal was not just a culinary delight, but also a spiritual cleansing.

After the meal, Ye Jing led the two to a secluded valley.

Activate the formation.

He brought the two little ones to the military camp and presented them to the Sage Scholar, Liu Qingluan, Old Freak Wind, and others!

"You still have a chance to back out. Becoming cultivators will bring you all sorts of dangers, but becoming our disciples will be even more dangerous, as you'll be under the watchful eye of a powerful force..."

"Master Ye Jing, just give me this Nuwa. You bunch of men can't teach girls!"

Ye Jing was introducing the two little ones when Liu Qingluan interrupted him before he could finish!

This time, no one competed with her!

Because what she said makes sense; a female master is definitely better at teaching female disciples!

However, they haven't thought it through yet, have they?

"Palace Mistress Liu, let's wait until the two little ones have thought it through!" Ye Jing smiled as he looked at Xiao Feng and Xiao Yue, awaiting their decision. He knew that the path of cultivation was full of unknowns and dangers, but also full of opportunities and challenges. He hoped that the two little ones could truly understand their choices and work hard for them.

Xiao Feng and Xiao Yue exchanged a glance, their eyes shining with determination. They understood that Ye Jing and everyone present were powerful and mysterious beings, and becoming their disciples meant they would have the opportunity to access cultivation resources and knowledge that were unimaginable to ordinary people.

"Mr. Zhao, we are willing!" Xiao Feng spoke first, his voice firm and strong. "We are not afraid of danger or hardship. We want to become stronger, and we want to protect our home and loved ones. Please take us as your apprentices!"

Xiao Yue quickly added, "Mr. Zhao, I'm willing too. I want to become a cultivator like you and explore the unknown world. Please accept me!"

Ye Jing nodded in satisfaction. He looked at Liu Qingluan and the others, and said, "Since the two little ones have made their decisions, then so be it. Xiao Yue, from now on you will cultivate under Palace Mistress Liu; Xiao Feng, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Old Monster Feng interrupted, "Alchemist Ye Jing, leave this kid to me! I guarantee I'll train him into a true man!"

Ye Jing smiled and did not object. He knew that although Old Freak Wind had an eccentric personality, his strength was unfathomable. If Xiao Feng followed him to cultivate, he would definitely learn a lot of real skills.

"Alright, it's settled then." Ye Jing finally made the decision. "Xiao Feng, Xiao Yue, from today onwards, you are both members of the Cultivation World. I hope you will never forget your original aspirations, forge ahead bravely, and become outstanding individuals in this world!"

As for whether their aptitudes were suitable for their respective Cultivation Method, the Saint present had already seen through them when the two little ones entered!

Once you open your mouth, it means it suits your own Cultivation Method!
