The Mighty Mage
Chapter 168: Grandmother

Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Grandmother

"Tear mole?" Ying Yue’s face paled.

"Yes." By now Gu Jin noticed the change in Ying Yue’s expression and couldn’t help but ask,

"What happened?"

"Sister...I...." Ying Yue suddenly didn’t know what to say. After a long time when she came to her senses, she said,

"Sister you are sure, right?"

"Yes. But can you tell me why are you so shocked?" Gu Jin was genuinely curious.

Ying Yue softly lowered her head and sighed,

"Maybe...maybe she was my grandmother."

"But didn’t you say that your grandmother died a few weeks ago? How could I see her yesterday?" Gu Jin felt that Ying Yue was assuming things.

Ying Yu shook her head,

"No! She is my grandmother for sure! Do you perhaps remember the clothes she wore when she met you?"

Gu Jin thought for a while and said,

"Hm...She wore a long, traditional robe with intricate patterns. The colors were faded, but it looked quite regal. She had a serene aura about her."

Ying Yue’s eyes filled with tears as she whispered,

"That’s her... That’s my grandmother’s favorite robe. She always wore it on special occasions."

Gu Jin didn’t believe Ying Yue.

If what Ying Yue was saying was true, then it would mean that the person with whom she(Gu Jin) had the conversation was a spirit.

What a joke.

However to not break Ying Yue’s heart, Gu Jin asked,

"Do you have her photo?"

Gu Jin didn’t want to lie to her but she didn’t want to keep her in illusion too, so Gu Jin decided to put a hold on the matter.

Anyways, she was sure that Ying Yue wouldn’t have her grandmother’s photo.

But to her surprise, Ying Yue’s eyes brightened and she said,

"I have it!"

Then Ying Yue opened the small heart-shaped necklace on her neck.

Inside the heart-shaped necklace was a tiny, faded photograph.

Ying Yue carefully removed it and handed it to Gu Jin.

Gu Jin examined the photo closely.

The woman in the picture had a gentle smile and a tear mole on her cheek, and she was wearing the same intricate robe Gu Jin had described. Gu Jin felt a chill run down her spine.

How couldn’t Gu Jin feel a chill, when she was sure that the old woman in the photo was the person with who she had conversed yesterday?

With doubt in her voice, Gu Jin asked,

"Do you think that...she might be alive?"

It was okay if Gu Jin didn’t ask that question but once she did Ying Yue’s eyes turned red and she said,

"I...I personally completed her funeral process."

Gu Jin felt an indescribable sadness when she saw Ying Yue’s red eyes.

"Okay! Okay! I am sorry. I was wrong." Gu Jin accepted her mistake.

If someone from Gu Jin’s previous life, had seen Gu Jin now they would definitely die from a heart attack.

Was this still the cold person who would kill a person rather than apologize?

Ying Yue suddenly hugged Gu Jin and started to cry,

"Wuu...sister Jin...I miss my grandmother a lot! Wuuwuw..."

Even after her death, her grandmother was worried about her(Ying Yue) and communicated with Sister Jin to ensure that she(Ying Yue) didn’t suffer.

How could she not miss such a grandmother?

Gu Jin hugged Ying Yue and patted her back,

"It’s okay to miss her. But let me tell you instead of crying, you should think about how to live a good life. Your grandmother would be worried if she saw you crying.

Do you want your grandmother to continue to worry about you even after her death?"

Ying Yue sniffled, wiping her tears on Gu Jin’s shoulder.

"No, I don’t want her to worry. She always wanted me to be strong and happy."

Gu Jin continued to comfort her, patting her back gently.

"Exactly. So, let’s focus on making her proud."

Ying Yue’s eyes reddened again,

"But how...I have such a body type... even if I want to make her proud, I won’t be able to..."

Gu Jin paused and said,

"That was what I was about to talk about."

Ying Yue saw Gu Jin’s serious expression and her heart skipped a beat

"Yue, I will tell you only two things and I hope you will understand."

"What is it, sister Jin?" Ying Yue asked softly.

"First, your body type isn’t waste, in fact, it is a treasure. Second I want to see how much you trust me.

I know that we have only met each other for 2 days, but Little Ying, if you want me to help you, I would need your trust."

Ying Yue was stunned and asked,

"Sister Jin, are you serious? Am I really not a waste?"

"Well theoretically, yes." Gu Jin thought for a while and nodded.

Ying Yue’s expression changed and she held Gu Jin’s hand tightly,

"Sister Jin, you are not lying to me, right!"

To be honest Ying Yue believed Gu Jin’s words 99%!

After her grandmother’s death, no one cared about her. Even if her grandmother entrusted her(Ying Yue) to Sister Jin, it wasn’t sister Jin’s responsibility to hear her grandmother’s words at all!

To say Ying Yue was not moved would be a lie.

She was so moved that if Gu Jin asked her to die, she might even die.

Anyway, for her Gu Jin was her savior and her light. When she heard Gu Jin’s second condition, Ying Yue subconsciously ignored it.

How could she bear to not trust Gu Jin? Even if Gu Jin asked her to jump into a volcano, Ying Yue swore that she wouldn’t give it any other thought and would truly jump into the volcano.

"Nope." Gu Jin shook her head.

Ying Yue hugged Gu Jin and said,

"Sure! I am willing to prove to you how much I trust you."

"How so?" Gu Jin didn’t actually plan to ask Ying Yue to do some extreme stuff.

The next second, Ying Yue said,

"I, Ying Yue, swear that if I ever betray you, I will die a...."

However, before she could finish her words, Gu Jin covered her mouth and scolded her,

"What are you doing? This type of viscous oath should never be taken!"

Ying Yue smiled and said,

"Sister Jin I am serious! You have helped me so much, how could I not trust you?"

Gu Jin never thought that Ying Yue would be so serious and after some thought, she decided to tell the truth.

"Your body is not suited for traditional magic cultivation, but it is perfect for a type of cultivation called Mystic Cultivation.

This path allows you to awaken multiple elements and potentially develop superpowers. It’s challenging and requires secrecy, but it’s possible."

"Secrecy? Mystic Cultivation?" Ying Yue was stunned.

Ying Yue felt as if she had entered some new world.

Gu Jin explained to her what she had learned,

"In fact, cultivations are of various types. Since we are living in a world where magic cultivation is prioritized, all those body types which are suitable for other cultivation are declared useless."

"Oh..." Ying Yue nodded.

"Mystic Cultivation is not affiliated with Magic Cultivation. But once you become a mystic cultivator, you can awaken up to 7 elements."

"7 elements?" Ying Yue’s jaws dropped.

Gu Jin nodded.

"Sister even though I don’t want to suspect you...but your words are too good to be true. And if Mystic Cultivation is so powerful why didn’t others pursue it and why did Voidborn body type awakeners till now despised?"

Gu Jin was impressed by Ying Yue’s intelligence and shared the entire truth,

"I earlier thought of hiding it from you but since you are so smart, I will tell you. Someone has altered the energy flow of this world, because of which only magic cultivator could flourish.

This manipulation has been in place for centuries, making other forms of cultivation nearly impossible."

Ying Yue’s eyes widened in shock.

"Someone altered the energy flow? Who could have such power, and why would they do that?"

Gu Jin shook her head,

"I too don’t know, all I know is that the person behind all of this is too powerful. They want to maintain their dominance and ensure that no other forms of cultivation challenge their power.

By labeling Voidborn body types as useless, they discourage people from exploring alternatives."

Ying Yue was instantly angry and said in a bitter tone,

"That’s so unfair! So many people with potential have been suppressed because of this!"

"Exactly," Gu Jin agreed.

Ying Yue bit her lips and asked,

"So sister, what should I do now... if the energy has been altered...how could I cultivate?"

Gu Jin didn’t directly tell the truth and said,

"Don’t worry. It’s not like you can’t cultivate at all. You can cultivate some initial levels. The main problem starts when you want to advance further.

Also, we need to find a way to hide your different energy."
