In the afternoon, he found himself engrossed in a book. Nothing had changed; he knew he wouldn't act differently just because a girl had rejected his proposal. Life is a precious thing, and if he doesn't die, then his sister won't seek revenge against the heroine. Upon realizing it was all part of a novel, he understood that his family loved him. Initially, he felt discomfort due to their neglect, but now, when he felt ignored, he reminded himself not to take it to heart. His relationship with his sister and parents also improved; he discovered she fought with him to get his attention. His personalities more careful then written in novel
His relationship with his cousin did not change either, but he didn't have time to focus on that. After testing his spiritual root, he only visited once or twice a year to meet family. According to clan ranking, he held the second position, so everyone called him "Second Brother." However, that didn't mean Fu Yichen could call him that, as Fu Yichen's spiritual root had yet to be tested. If he didn't have a spiritual root, he couldn't call him "Second Brother."
Two years passed in this manner, and today was the day to check his spiritual root. Children from side branches and other elder families were also present. Fu Yu, from the family of the third uncle, was waiting to check her spiritual root today. Everyone stood in line for the test. Fu Yichen stood third to last in the row, while his cousin, Fu Yu,fu wenbo was last. Fu Wenbo, the concubine's son from the eldest uncle's family, was the male lead's brother and one of the supporting characters. Although he had read the novel, he didn't know many details; after the sister and parents in the story died, he had stopped reading. But he remember who Fu Wenbo have some role he don't know specific because he doesn't read the whole book. But in the starting he have relationship with male lead.
In the line, there were two children with five spiritual roots, one with four, and two with three. The children who were not selected were crying. Fu Yu asked her brother, "Are you not scared?" He replied, "I tell her that I am scared. My heart is beating fast. I'm not scared, but I'm nervous. Although he couldn't remember the specifics, according to the novel, both Fu Yu and Fu Wenbo had spiritual roots, though he wasn't sure of the details.
As they were talking, his turn to test his spiritual root arrived. Initially, he felt unafraid, but now some fear crept in. He thought of his parents and sister cheering for him, took a deep breath, and reminded himself that no matter what happened, he had family who loved him. Whether or not he had a spiritual root didn't matter; he would protect them. He stretched out his hand to the spiritual root testing stone. Slowly, two colors emerged: one red and one green. The purity of the red was slightly higher than that of the green, with 70% purity for the red and 50% for the green. His spiritual root wasn't the best among those present, like his second brother Fu Haoran, but it wasn't the worst either. His spiritual root granted him the chance to become an Alchemist.
