Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Ying Yue’s Truth

Gu Jin entered her space and started to cultivate.

Anyways, she needs to become powerful in order to raise two children!

At the same time, Gu Jin thought of clearing up the house she had bought.

Earlier she didn’t dare to move into that house since it was surrounded by many beasts and monsters but now that she had reached intermediate rank and would soon reach the advanced rank, Gu Jin was confident that she could deal with all those beasts occupying her house!

At the same time, Gu Jin didn’t dare to neglect alchemy.

The next morning, Gu Jin returned to check on Ying Yue.

"Good morning, Ying Yue," Gu Jin greeted and placed the tray of breakfast containing steamed buns, fresh fruit, and warm milk.

As far as she knows, Ying Yue might feel shy and won’t ask for breakfast even if she is very hungry and hence she decided to serve her breakfast.

Gu Jin didn’t want to admit it, but for some reason whenever she thinks about Ying Yue she wants to be gentle towards her.

How strange...

Ying Yue sat up, rubbing her eyes.

"Good morning, Sister Gu. Thank you!" she said, her face lighting up.

"Go brush your teeth first and only then can you eat the breakfast." Gu Jin said.

"Sure." Ying Yue walked towards the washroom in daze.

After coming out of the washroom, she sat in front of Gu Jin.

As Ying Yue ate, Gu Jin sat beside her.

Gu Jin picked up the tray when she noticed that Ying Yue had eaten the food.

"Um...sister Gu?"

"Yes." Gu Jin puased.

"What is my work?" Ying Yue asked nervously.

Gu Jin froze a second and hurriedly thought of a solution,

"I will tell you after returning the tray.’

Ying Yue nodded anxiously.

Soon Gu Jin returned with a pen and paper and passed it to Ying Yue.

"First I need to check whether you know how to read and write or not."

Ying Yue’s eyes brightened and she said,

"I can read and write, my father had taught me!"

Gu Jin was a big surprise.

She knew?

Then she watched in amazement as Ying Yue wrote some words in beautiful handwriting.

Gu Jin was shocked.

The sentence that was written, was about One-eyed Leopard.

Does she know beasts and their weakness?

What type of god-level education is that?

"Do you know about the beast?" Gu Jin asked softly.

Ying Yue nodded,

"Not only beast, I know about alchemy, armament mastery, arrays and even runes"

Gu Jin raised an eyebrow.

Was Ying Yue a child prodigy?

Gu Jin was filled with happiness.

If Ying Yue was indeed a child prodigy, then won’t she(Ying Yue) will have a smooth life in the future?

God wasn’t blind after all!

"Great. Have you tested your magic potential?"

Ying Yue stiffened before she shook her head with a guilty look in her eyes,

"No...no."

Gu Jin instantly knew that Ying Yue was lying.

Why?

Was her magic potential low and she(Ying Yue) was fearing that she(Gu Jin) would kick her out?

Then Gu Jin remembered how she had told Ying Yue earlier that she(Gu Jin) was attracted by her magic potential.

That would explain why Ying Yue’s face turned so gloomy later.

Hm...

"Okay, we will test your magic potential later.

Ying Yue’s face turned pale.

Gu Jin continued,

"However before that, I would like to share my story with you. Do you want to hear it? Do you want to know how I became powerful?"

Ying Yue was a bit sad and fearful. When she heard Gu Jin’s words, she thought that Gu Jin was going to tell her the secret method using which she became powerful.

If I learn that method and secretly practice it without sister Jin’s notice would my magic potential improve too?

Ying Yue’s eyes brightened.

If that happens, it would be great and she won’t have to leave sister Jin’s side ever!

But suddenly Ying Yue remembered how strong Gu Jin was and from Gu Jin’s words, it was clear that she was some kind of doctor or some businesswoman.

Which could only mean one thing...

Gu Jin was powerful since the beginning!

Seeing Ying Yue’s face changing every second, Gu Jin was amused.

She coughed to get Ying Yue’s attention and said,

"So the story starts when I was 4 years old. That was the first time when I was tested. Do you know what was the result?"

"Did you awaken Green Mana?" Ying Yue asked with doubt.

That was the highest mana any child could have ever awakened.

Gu Jin shook her head.

"Then Yellow?" Ying Yue continued with uncertainty.

"Nope. I didn’t awaken anything." Gu Jin smiled.

Even though she wasn’t the one who had experienced all those things, she had the memory of the original owner and knew all the things the original owner had suffered.

"What!" Ying Yue almost wanted to call Gu Jin a liar.

How could she not awaken any mana, when she was so powerful now?

"Then the time passed by and the next awakening came and even then I didn’t awaken any mana.

Years passed by and by the time I turned 10 all the people I knew had left the orphanage with the members of Magic Association. Only I was the one who was left.

I used to be getting bullied by the new kids and some of the other old kids and no one was there to help me."

Ying Yue listened intently, her eyes wide with surprise

"When I turned 13, I had already lost hope. However, due to the constant provocation by one of the kids, I made a bet that I would awaken mana by next year

I worked hard, read different books, and learned different methods to awaken the mana. While others played, I worked, however, the results weren’t in my favor. Even before the awakening day, I wasn’t able to feel anything."

Ying Yue felt anxious and asked,

"Then? How did you awaken mana? And how did you become powerful in just 1 and a half years?"

It was incredulous.

"To be honest even I don’t know." Gu Jin said in a soft voice. "When I placed my hand on the ball, I awakened Green Mana."

"Maybe it was because of all the hard work you put in?" Ying Yue thought hard and said.

Gu Jin placed her hand on Ying Yue’s head and said,

"Maybe. Or maybe not. But what I learned is. Sometimes for good things, we have to wait for long.

Sometimes we have to work hard when others are not and yet prepare ourselves that we might not get any results.

The most important lesson was, that if bad things are happening to you, don’t give up, fight, work hard work, and leave everything on destiny.

Whenever the time is correct, destiny will give you the result of your hard work.

Life is like a game of poker cards, who knows what card you will receive, just use what you have, smartly play the game, and leave the rest to destiny. "

Ying Yue knew that Gu Jin was saying the right thing but...

"But if you receive bad cards since the beginning?"

There are many worse types of body types. However in those body types, one thing is good and that is... even though you have to burn many resources, at least you will be able to awaken an element.

However, when it comes to the Voidborn body type which she has, there are no chances of awakening an element at all!

Gu Jin placed her finger on her chin and tapped with a thoughtful expression and then said as if she had remembered something,

"Then you should get a coach."

"Coach?"

"An expert or coach, who can turn your bad cards into good cards." Gu Jin said.

"Where to get this coach?" Ying Yue asked with excitement.

"Aren’t you looking at one?" Gu Jin asked.

The reason why she told so many bullsh*t things was to relax Ying Yue’s guards.

Ying Yue’s eyes widened in surprise and hope. "You mean... you?"

Gu Jin nodded with a smile.

"But..."

"Why don’t you share it first and then we can decide on how to use your cards?" Gu Jin coaxed when she saw how hesitant Ying Yue was.

Ying Yue took a deep breath and finally after thinking for a while, she said,

"Okay...So didn’t you say that you are after my magic potential?"

Sister Jin will know the truth eventually, so it is better if she tells it right away.

Gu Jin wanted to decline but when she saw Ying Yue’s serious face, she nodded.

"Then I am sorry to disappoint you, but I don’t have great magic potential. In fact, I have a Voidborn body type." Ying Yue said with gritted teeth.

Gu Jin was shocked.

"Voidborn? One where you can’t even awaken elements?"

"Yes."
