"I’m scared every ti I go back. To be honest, I hate going ho more than anything."
Although Fang Yong was confused, he still asked, "What does this have to do with ?"
"It has nothing to do with you. I’ve just never told this secret to anyone, and I wanted to get it off my chest. Keeping it bottled up is agonizing." As she spoke, Cheng Yu put down the Spiritual Source in her hands. "I’ve given you all the Spiritual Source. My future is in your hands now, Young Master Fang."
After that, Cheng Yu left.
Fang Yong was puzzled.
’This tactic would have been more effective on Jiang Man.’
’Why co to ?’
’But should I accept this or not?’
’With so much Spiritual Source and so many Elixirs, there’s no way I could pay this back on my own.’
’What if I fail in the end?’

August was the final stretch for everyone.
After the fifteenth of August, the lessons would end.
The people in the Rear Courtyard were set to depart. Newcors would advance to the Front Courtyard, those from the Front Courtyard would enter the Middle Courtyard, and those from the Middle Courtyard would move to the Rear Courtyard. Like Jiang Man and his peers, they would begin a new cycle of sprinting toward their goals and a place in the rankings.
Xiaopang spent his days in Cultivation at the Yunqian Bureau and his nights cultivating at ho.
He worked without sleep or rest.
Although Gao Cunfeng told him to rest, he didn’t stop.
He was convinced that Brother Jiang wouldn’t lie to him.
On August fifth, he felt he had reached the threshold of the Qi Refining Fourth Layer.
On August tenth, during his nightly Cultivation, he broke through the barrier to the Qi Refining Fourth Layer in one fell swoop and stepped into the new realm.
Feeling the weight of the Spiritual Qi at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer, Xiaopang was overjoyed.
Gao Cunfeng rushed over the mont he heard.
He had asked Elder Chen and the others if this thod of Cultivation could lead to a breakthrough.
The answers he received were not promising. Almost no one believed Xiaopang could reach the Qi Refining Fourth Layer before August fifteenth.
’I never expected this.’
’It actually worked.’
’It’s a sha I burned part of it.’
He was filled with regret.
"Did he really have to go this far just to avoid getting married?" Gao Cunfeng sighed.
Now he had to make new arrangents.
But for the mont, he had no idea what those arrangents should be.
’Should I arrange for him to stay in Luoyun City?’
With a sigh, he decided to write a letter to his elder brother in the Sect to ask for his opinion.
His original intention was to find so random post for his son, let him make his own way for a couple of years, and then, once he got bored, have him marry and start a family.
’It would be best to keep him in Luoyun City after all.’
However, he had barely sent his letter off when he received one in return.
It was from his elder brother.
He was sowhat surprised after reading it.
’No wonder the Luo Family is in such a hurry to find a son-in-law. And to think they rejected all other candidates, insisting on the forr second-in-command of the Six Pavilions, now the number one of the Yunqian Bureau. So sothing unexpected has happened to them.’
’This news can’t be kept secret for long. A pity for the Luo Family.’
He had no intention of kicking the Luo Family while they were down, but he casually wrote them a letter.
Hoping they would prepare early. After all, his Gao Family knew, which ant the Fang Family and Li Family probably knew as well.
The other families were likely in the sa boat.
But this letter also ntioned a small shop—a reward for his brother’s ritorious service—located within the Sect’s territory.
Soone could be sent to manage it, but it was best if it was just one person.
If the Gao Family didn’t send anyone, the Sect would make its own arrangents.
Gao Cunfeng looked at the letter and let out a heavy sigh. "It’s all fate."
He wouldn’t be able to keep his most beloved youngest son with him any longer.

「August fifteenth.」
The day of the Sect’s assessnt.
All those qualified to participate in the assessnt gathered in the central plaza.
For a unified examination.
The person presiding over the assessnt this ti ca from the Sect.
She was a woman nad Yu Wanyi. At this mont, she sat on a high platform, looking through the docunts in her hand.
The previous scores and comnts for every participant were recorded here.
What they cultivated and which Magic Skills they had acquired were also listed.
And the very first page was about Jiang Man.
Yu Wanyi was quite surprised.
Before she ca, Senior Sister Xia had sought her out and told her to pay close attention to a person nad Jiang Man.
Senior Sister Xia had co to test a Cultivation Skill and had taken note of him at the ti.
According to her, this person should have been of interdiate talent.
’But here he is, on the very first page.’
’I wonder what his overall strength is like.’
What mattered now was their capability after Foundation Establishnt.
The differences in Qi Refining weren’t significant; being a step ahead or behind didn’t change much.
Not unless soone could master the Qi Refining Skill, the Qi Blood Technique, and the Visualization Skill all within a year.
Otherwise, it was all the sa to the Sect.
Still, to beco number one in the Yunqian Bureau was impressive enough to be considered outstanding.
