"So you won't have any worries holding you back."
"Anyway, staying home now would only leave us fretting helplessly."
Chapter 289: The curtain fell on the Ning and Meng families!
"Even after you break through, you can't leave right away. After all, this semester is almost over. Next, your Sister Nian Nian will enter the Soul Martial Academy for further studies, and Xiao Duo, you'll enter the High Martial Academy..."
Wu Yuting sighed. "Nian Nian, look after Duo Duo. Duo Duo, look after your sister."
"Mm!"
After that meal, both Zuo Xiaoduo and Zuo Xiaonian were unusually quiet. After all these years, Dad and Mom Zuo had never been away from them for so long.
Wu Yuting was reluctant to part with them, too.
Although she knew perfectly well that leaving at this point was the best arrangement, she still couldn't set her mind at ease. Even a one-in-ten-thousand chance was still a chance... What if, when they returned, the news awaiting them was that the breakthroughs had failed... Their son and daughter had both...
Pah, pah, pah... How could she think that!
Zuo Changlu, on the other hand, remained utterly unruffled, seemingly brimming with confidence and certainty.
He had no choice but to act that way. He had to set an example first to put his wife at ease.
Thinking about his parents going away on a trip, Zuo Xiaoduo was especially distracted even while reading fortunes at the school gate.
"Oh, Master Zuo, you're carrying more and more weight these days," someone said with a laugh.
"That huge chunk you're holding in one hand-I reckon it must weigh at least five thousand jin?"
"Five thousand jin? Tch, you've got no eye for this at all. If it's less than ten thousand jin, I'll livestream myself eating shit!"
