Chapter 2 Let's Go! Saint Dawn Academy!

  "Can you be serious for once!"

  A loud roar burst out of Ailin's courtyard, almost overturning all the walls.

  "Alright"

  Looking at Old Jin's edge of madness, Ailing threw up her hands in a gesture of surrender and said: "You're so insistent on the basics and bloodline power, what exactly are you trying to say? Are you going to pass down some kind of bloodline power to me?"

  "Finally getting to the point, but why still this indifferent expression! Damn it, everyone knows this guy is special, yet can't help but get angry!"

  Old Jin's heavy breathing gradually subsided as he slowly calmed down.

  Ailin's entire body went limp and fell onto the stone table.

  "Ah, I'm so tired..." After letting out a sigh, he finally rested his chin on the stone table, looking at Old Gins with a weak tone and said: "Since it's like this, then come on, what kind of bloodline power do you have for me?"

  Lao Jin couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  This kind of personality is inexplicable, fearless and always full of optimism, completely unaware of what difficulties are. Others who encounter him must be even more headache-inducing and maddening, right?

  "Blood Contract! Seal of Awakening!"

  With a low and rapid mutter, his right hand stretched out and grasped Elin's right hand.

  At the moment his fingers made contact with Ailin's skin, five clusters of silver light formed into five ancient dragon script characters that even the earliest dragon language scholars did not recognize, and seeped into Ailin's body.

  The five silver lights lingered on Ailin's skin for a moment before slowly disappearing.

  "This is the fusion of Bloodline Power?" Ailin stared at his hand in a daze, he felt no unusual sensations in his body, only a slight numbness on the tips of his right fingers.

  "The way to inherit the power of bloodlines is only two, one is to reproduce offspring, and the other is to pass on through some sacred objects with unique powers." Looking at Ailin who had finally become serious, Old Gins shook his head: "These contracts are just keys, the sacred object that allows you to merge with the power of bloodlines is in the library of Saint Luminous Academy, so what you need to do is go to Saint Luminous Academy and merge with the power of bloodlines I gave you as soon as possible."

  "Hold on, an old swindler suddenly turned into a technician, I'm a bit dizzy, let me think... why bother, won't you still cheat me?" Ailin was still lying on the stone table, looking at Old Gins with her face sideways.

  It seemed as if Old Gins had expected Ailin to say that, he smiled and simply took out a purse of money and placed it beside Ailin's eyes. "This is the tuition fee we've prepared for you."

  Ailing suddenly didn't know where the strength came from and jumped up in an instant.

  "We're rich..."

  He was instantly stunned as soon as he opened his wallet and took a glance.

  "Saliva is about to flow down." Old Gins looked at Ailing and said, "Do you believe it now?"

  Ailin immediately put the money bag into her bosom and nodded: "Believed."

  "But if you're such a powerful practitioner, why did you choose me? Is it because I was only nine years old when I picked you up and was more foolish and easier to deceive?"

  "You are indeed the stupidest fool." Old Gins nodded solemnly: "I've been to so many places, but only you have taken me in for so many years and passed my tests and trials."

  "So you're sending me to the academy to study, but what do you plan to have me do afterwards? Are you trying to make me a powerful mage to help you with some task, or do you want me to guard some family and fight for them?" Elain's sudden burst of energy was immediately followed by another question.

  "No" Old Kings smiled and shook his head, he raised his head to gaze at the starry sky, slowly saying: "For every awakened youth, under the starry sky there are countless dreams. As a return for your efforts towards me over these past years, I am only responsible for setting sail for you. In life's journey, you can freely choose your own dreams."

  "Ailin, you have to understand that when a person's ability reaches a certain level, they are destined not to be ordinary, but to shine like the best gemstones. The most difficult environment has carved out your kind, optimistic, strong and never-surrendering qualities, so I don't need to worry about your future. So from today on, Ailin, go all out to find and fulfill your dreams."

  "It sounds like it's going to be a big deal." Ailin supported her own chin, looking at Old Gins: "Forget one key point, what kind of blood power are you hiding in Sheng Li Ming College?"

  "Any practitioner would think of ways to hide some means, and not expose all their secrets and powers in front of everyone. Hidden power is often the key to winning and survival. So, the power of bloodline, if it can be seen at a glance, naturally can't be hidden, but if it can be hidden, it's even better." Old Gins narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Because you usually don't listen to advice and act recklessly, I've decided not to tell you why I want to put the thing that can inherit the power of bloodline in Sheng Li Ming College, nor will I tell you what kind of power it is. This way, even you won't know, let alone others."

  "Ah..." Ellington suddenly shouted in a depressed tone: "Is there anyone who deliberately teases people like you! Old Gins! You quickly tell me!"

  "Stop dreaming, I absolutely won't tell you."

  "No way, tell me quickly!"

  "It's impossible, save your energy and just finish eating, take a bath and go."

  "If you don't tell me, I won't go to school at the academy!"

  "Such a clumsy threat is useless. You must dream of going to the academy, your eyes have already betrayed you."

  "Ah...ah...are you going to tell me or not?"

  Firm! Resolute! No!

  "Conspiracy! Absolutely a conspiracy!"

  "You idiot, have you ever seen anyone spend so much time designing a plot to harm a little kid like you?!"

  "You're hiding something from me!"

  "Haha, then don't go to Sheng Li Ming College."

  ……

  It's getting late at night.

  Soft starlight enveloped Ailin's small courtyard.

  Eileen, exhausted to the extreme, had fallen fast asleep, emitting a series of snores.

  Occasionally, there were one or two sentences of mumbling mixed in with the snoring sounds:

  "Tell me quickly what bloodline it is, damn it..."

  "How could you deceive me for so long? I thought you were a homeless vagrant, but it turns out you've been hiding all this silver on you... I won't let you off..."

  "I won't tell if I don't have to, and eventually I'll find out myself anyway."

  "Hmm... Saint Liming College... Saint Liming College..."

  Old Jin stood in front of Ailin's bed, listening to the repeated name of the academy in Ailin's dream talk. In the darkness, he couldn't help but smile and whisper to himself: "Although you never mention going to the academy during the day, thinking that other awakened boys can go to the academy to pursue their dreams, your heart is also as hungry as your body... You have gotten more than others, so you must cherish it even more. Ailin, I'm looking forward to your performance."

  "Don't tell me that you won't tell me, with that mysterious and intimidating look, as if it's something extremely powerful... but it can't be the Dragon Bloodline, no matter how powerful..."

  At this moment, Ailin, who was fast asleep, turned over and spoke out another sentence in her sleep.

  "Hey kiddo, don't look down on people like that, just go find your own answers slowly."

  Lao Jin looked at the thin figure in the quilt and heard this sentence, and he couldn't help but feel some depression and annoyance.

  ……

  "What! Ailin is going to study at Sheng Liming College?"

  The town of Korolyn was in a complete uproar at dawn.

  Ailin stood at the town entrance with her luggage on her back, and people lined up on both sides of the road to see her off.

  "Old cheat, where did Ailin get the money to go to Shengli Ming College? Although it's said that as long as you awaken, you can enter the college for study, but tuition and living expenses are also indispensable..."

  "Cough cough, I've said it before, I used to be a technician and saved up some money."

  "I can still believe it if you say you've saved some money, but saying someone like you is a master, who would believe that!"

  "At least now he can afford to pay for Ailing's education, it seems his conscience has awakened."

  "Old cheat, Ailin has left, aren't you going with her?"

  "I've said it before, I'm here to instruct Elin's successor, he leaves and I can retire to do my own thing."

  "You're still being stubborn..."

  The crowd of people seeing them off was in an uproar, Ailin and Old Gins hugged each other goodbye for the last time, ready to set off formally.

  "Are you really not going to leave with me?" Ailin asked in Old King's ear.

  "My mission of searching for and teaching you has been completed, next I should retire and rest for a while." Old Jin said: "I'm old, don't want to chase any dreams anymore."

  Ailin made a very disdainful gesture and muttered: "Conspiracy... absolutely conspiracy..."

  "You can just not go to St. Lumin Academy then." Old Gins chuckled and looked at Ailin with a gaze that seemed to see right through her, adding in a soft voice: "And you don't have to worry about me either, you should understand that I can easily take out a pile of silver coins for you, and even without you, I can still live very well."

  "I don't care about you then." Elin hummed, turning around, but softly floated out another sentence: "However, Old Gins, I will miss you."

  Lao Jin's eyes were filled with affection as he gazed at his back, and he said seriously in a soft voice: "I will also miss you."

  "I'm leaving now!"

  Ailin stretched out his hands and made a forward gesture, shouting in an even louder voice full of grandeur: "Advance! Saint Dawn Academy!"

  "Wrong! Come back!"

  "Huh?"

  "Idiot, isn't that the direction of Sheng Li Ming College?! You're walking in the opposite direction!"

  "Haha, it's really no wonder that Xiaoling, who has sprained her ankle five times in a month, would even get the direction of progress wrong."

  “…..!”
