Gu ya "do you think they will agree" she's the one who's most nervous about this matter after all her talent is the highest in the family.

Gu Ruo "well I'm worried about brother being scolded by mother and father" well that not possible with forth uncle and aunt.

Gu Niu "but sister if adults listen to brother their might be chance for us to partice in the entrance exam Moreover only we are girls are at the age of basic level test"

Basic level test consists of 5-8 year old kids, primary level test consists of 9-12 year old and high level test consists of 13-16 year old.

Gu Lian "that's the real problem, if any I mean if any of the boy had been basic 5-8 year old we could have been chance to tag along but here we girls are the main one"

She sign deeply after speaking up, everyone fall into silence. Everyone know what she had said is true.

If any of the boy from the family had been at that age maybe their family had grit their teeth to sent them as for them they could also had been taken with in passing.

But if it's making a trip specially for them the chance are very low, too low that even hoping for it felt wrong to their family.

Gu Xiao "let's sleep if we woke up late in morning we will get beaten up by grandmother" everyone move stiffly knowing she is speaking truth.

Everyone lay down to sleep but couldn't fall sleep as for the adults they are having their own schemes.

Old madam look at her husband who's seating on chair looking outside of the window at the sky deep in thoughts.

Old madam "husband don't tell me, you are thinking about what that brat is saying, let me tell you. He's surely encouraged by his two good-for-nothing sister's" she sneer.

He didn't spoke but merely look at her she immediately shut her mouth and lay down on the bed to sleep.

It's unknown when he went to bed that night but whatever he had thought about might change the whole family.

Meanwhile, in the eldest branch hut Gu Dahu and his wife both stare at each other grim expression on their faces.

Gu Dahu "what should we do those of other branch rather then third branch who also don't child of suitable age will surely try their best to make mother and father agree to this" he irritatedly pace around the room.

Eldest daughter in-law "husband calm down at that time I though having two kids are okay, in the future when the household will divide we will only have one child without any worry of now being able feeding him or his kids. Who could had thought that brat from forth branch will have such guts"

She's also unhappy about this matter, rather then third branch other three branch really have advantage. specially forth and fifth branch who had two kids of suitable age.

Eldest daughter in-law "don't worry they need to first take the test to enter the sect, I don't think your parents will agree to this"

He nodded his head totally agreeing with his wife. With this they went to sleep with peace of mind.

In the second branch hut, second daughter-in-law look at her husband who already had fallen asleep on the bed with frustration bubbling up in her heart.

She want her husband to stand up and spoke to the head of the family about this matter.

Specially, when they had daughter who's not only suitable age but also had highest talent in the family with great chances of entering the sect.

She grit her teeth and decide to stand up and fight. she already had lost the chance of keeping her second daughter beside her.

The only comfort she had that her daughter is living much better life in the town then here that what's stopping her from stroming their and getting her back.

She took a deep breath and decide to rest well knowing more then well this matter had not ended yet, tomorrow is going to be very big battle for her daughter and her future.

In the third branch hut both husband and wife look at each other with dark expression on their faces.

Gu sanhe "damn it, only if you given birth to the third child safely back then. he could have been seven year old right now perfect at the age to take the test"

Third daughter-in-law had ugly look on her face, she look at hypothetical man infront of her she felt disgusted living with him.

He really have guts to put blame on her at their third child death when he know very well that the child died cause of his beating in his drunken state.

If it's not the fact her daughter is still living in this house she could already had put poison in his food.

But on surface she put on obedient face and deliberately patted her stomach as she spoke in soft voice to calm him down.

Third daughter-in-law "husband, don't forget that I'm currently pregnant with your child soon you will have healthy son in the house" she watch as his expression change.

He drop the stick he used to beat her up and put on gentle and comforting smile on his face approaching her.

Healthy child this his weak point, being physically weak which also made his son weak like him but their daughter luckily enough to escape this faith. He's obsessed with the thought of having healthy child.

She felt disgusted and nauseous she really want to throw up but knowing that if she did. He will think that she found him dirty which will follow with another round of beating.
