chapter

In the massive cave were many Children lined up age-wise. Most of them were staring at the ground. They had no expectations of finding a good teacher. Their teachers were probably of noble lineage who would find them disappointing. In the rows of children, there were many who stood out.

One particular child had his eyes fixed on them once they entered. He looked about four or five years old. He had unevenly lengthened hair and held a stick in his one hand.

Tears rolled down the boy's cheeks. I mustn't cry he said wiping his tears but after wiping his tears. His eyes fell on the group of sisters Poppy and Cherry were holding hands Lily and Rose chatting happily. Orchid and Mara arguing.Peony who was alone. The scenery tugged at his heart. If I only listened to my elder brother he wouldn't be missing. A wave of tears began to roll.

The group looked at the children carefully. Cherry and Poppy leaned on the wall of the cave not sparing any of the children a glance. Poppy looked at the Elder who had organized this with disappointment. The idea wasn't the problem however the outcome had been set in stone.

Lady Cherry, why won't you look around? Prince Long said.

Cherry ignored him. Her anger which had just calmed down could be exploded at any time.

Look Cherry I sense a thread of talent in this one. He said whiles raising the child's head. He looked at the child and said what a waste of talent.

Poppy and I will be taking the Child she said to the Elder.

Cherry had expected more from Prince Long, but how he talked about the children was no different from shopping. Cherry despised people calling others a waste. He only had the guts to say that because he was a Prince. A Prince favoured by the emperor.

She went up to the child and squatted down. She looked at the Child and gave her kindest smile when she remembered she was wearing a veil.

Your name? She said in her regular tone. It was a little louder than a whisper and indifferent.

Hello, My name is Poppy and this is Cherry. Poppy came up to him.

In the sullen cave, the mood was brightened. The children began to hope they will be taken by this group. This would not fool me, the older children thought. It was probably one of them here who held a reputation of a saint and wanted to uphold it. Rolling their eyes. All nobles were the same.

My name is Yunqi, he said looking at the cherry. When this happened Cherry saw the colour grey and this only happened when stared directly into the sun. Milk tea had said the sun was the brightest thing he had ever seen.

The children began to show off their capabilities and some were chosen.

Together they stepped out of the cave. This changed the children's lives.

So the group of 18 were now 25. They walked back to the sect and exited after saying their farewells.

At the exit, it was left with siblings, SU Rong, Yunqi, Ji Jie and Lia. It was weird they were the only ones here at this exit.

Looking at the situation they had all bought a house. Peony noticed.

To settle this the easy way who has bought a house she looked at her siblings.

All of them raised their hands.

Poppy looked at Cherry with surprise.

Didn't you promise me not to do anything unusual for money?

Didn't you promise the same?

But I am not doing anything odd. Poppy defended herself when she realized it was the same loophole in the promise.

Rose was forced to go shopping with the crown prince.

Didn't we promise Rose that we save her

Poppy asked. She changed the topic.

I feel so irresponsible, they are not even 16, but they are thinking about how to get money and working hard. At this age, they should be living comfortably. With no stress. They grew up too quickly. Peony's thoughts began to scatter. I grew up with no difference, however, I am the eldest. No, I am not the eldest there are mara and Qing tu. There is so much to do. Should I let them off? I still need to save for Rose's wedding or the divorce of the engagement. The dowries, clothing. She listed all the things they needed. Official Qing flashed into her mind when she asked him for money. Cherry was in dire need of clothing. His answer did you think I am made of money. If you're in dire need of money get yourself a fiancé and stop rejecting the offers.

It disgusted her to the bone that even little Cherry who was 12 would get a marriage request from a 60 years old man.

Peony bye peony was called back to the present.

Bye, she waved at Poppy only to notice that after she left. Only LIA and her were still there the others were gone.
