Gu yin along with her cousins and elders of the village went to the village entrance, today the elders and village chief who had taken kids of the village to the city are returning.

Everyone are standing there to welcome everyone back. Since, no boy had gone from Gu family none of the adult had came.

Only her, along with Gu lian are standing their waiting for both Gu tin and Gu ya to came back along with others.

As they wait for them to came back as sky darken people around them start becoming anxious and scared.

Although, safety measures had been taken no one can rule out any kind of accident happening to them.

As villagers pray for there kids to came back safely, "look they are back" it was unknown who shout but everyone immediately get up.

As expected a small group of people were coming toward them, it took them few minutes to reach the village entrance.

Everyone start inquiring about their trip, any problem, soon everyone took there kids and said few words with the village chief before leaving with their kids to home.

Gu Lian look at the two equally excited girls Infront of her with a smile "how was the trip, did you both had fun"

Gu ya jumped as she spoke "the city was very big, their was lot of people too everything was exciting and lot of kids had came to get the test done"

Gu tin nodded her head "yeah the test was simple but there was lot of people so it took whole day for everyone root to get checked"

Gu Lian chuckled she also been there, the big bright city with much better condition and atmosphere.

"Let's go back home it's already dark" Gu Lian took their hand and they all went back to the house.

On the way both Gu ya and Gu tin talk about the city they had seen and everything that they had found fascinating.

Gu yin listen carefully noting done everything in her mind so, when's it's her turn to go she can visit more places.

When they return home everything was normal Gu Lian suddenly start jumping and giggling foolishly.

Gu yin face blushed in embarrassment after all it was her idea to pretend to be stupid in order to avoid being sold off to old man.

So, few months ago Gu Lian the eldest granddaughter of the family fall into water while washing clothes beside the river.

When she was fish out by other women's who were also cleaning clothes near by and woke up she had already lost her mind becoming foolish and stupid.

That's how she manage to escape the faith of being sold as play thing to a rich fifty year old man.

But surprisingly Gu Lian played the act of being stupid pretty well, not only that she sometime tend to beat her brother up without being curse at.

After all she usually obedient, watching ants and playing with other if she suddenly start hitting someone it's probably cause they started it.

So for past few months even her father had not escaped the faith of being beaten by her although she is also beaten and locked.

She will put on obedient face for few days when she is out as long as no one say anything or take her food away.

She will foolishly play around the house without giving anyone trouble, so everyonw know the crazy granddaughter of Gu family will hit anyone if no one mess with her.

Everyone were having dinner rather then Gu yin everyone else already had gone to the city so when the girls talk about it they were not very much interested.

But they still listen to see if the city had been changed in few years or not, as topic continue they reach on spirit root test.

Gu ya "you won't believe but there countless kids that had came to get there spirit root tested. Not only that one of the kids only had two spirit root with magic talent higher then 5, those people from big families and sect start fighting to have that kids it's was very wild"

Gu yin "what about you, what's your talent and spirit root" Gu ya eyes lit up as she nudged Gu tin asking her to speak first.

Gu Tin "I have complete root with three spirit root being 4 and 2 spirit root was 3" her talent is actually not bad when campare to the number of average talent.

After all talent higher then 5 is rare and no one had seen anyone with 8 talent in this realm maybe it's possible to see one in higher realm.

Then everyone turn toward Gu ya who raise her head and puff her chest with proud expression on her face.

Gu ya "I have four spirit root with water missing, and two are 5, one is 4 and one is 3" everyone went silent.

Her talent is the highest in the whole Gu family, although it's just one spirit root missing it great huge gap.

If she were to cultivate, her speed of cultivating will be faster then person with complete root of same talent.

Everyone were shock but then again if only she could cultivate in this small village there's no mean of becoming stronger.

If one want to do that they need to join any sect, even being selected as servant in the sect is huge and glorious thing.

As everyone were sighing that if their family had been little bit more supportive they would had sent her to take test.

But her luck is not that good, while everyone were lamenting their bad luck Gu yin was looking at Gu ya with shining eyes.

Gu ya talent is good, if she use some tacts and sweet words she might be able to convince those outdated people in the family of her.

And the person most suitable to do this job is the Gu ming of the forth branch, if she use his sister's as bait he will surely help her to talk with those unreasonable grandparents of them as he is there's dear grandson.
