Chapter 138: What a Tough Barrier
Sun Lingxiao looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar person in front of her with a confused expression.
She had seen her grandmother’s old photos when she was young. She was beautiful.
She had seen her grandmother at the beginning of the year. She looked like an old woman.
But now, the grandmother looked like she was younger. And she was even more beautiful.
This surprised her.
When she received her grandmother’s call yesterday, she already had her suspicions. From her voice, she didn’t sound like an old woman in her seventies.
Now that she had seen her, more questions popped up in Sun Lingxiao’s mind.
At that mont, Fu Xuei had a loving smile on her face. It had been a long ti since she t her granddaughter, and she was exceptionally excited.
“Xiaoxiao, is the military training tiring?” Fu Xuei asked concernedly.
When she saw Fu Xuei’s loving gaze, Sun Lingxiao was sure that the person in front of her was her grandmother.
She quickly accepted her grandmother’s current appearance.
Sun Lingxiao looked at Fu Xuei and said seriously, “It was quite tiring at the beginning, but I’ve gotten used to it now.”
“Mm, mm! I knew that our Xiaoxiao would be able to persevere.
“I ca here in a hurry, so I just bought so of your favorite fruits.”
“Grandma, Xiaoxiao is already very touched that you could co over.
“You even spent money to buy fruits. There’s really no need for that. You might as well spend this money on yourself.” Sun Lingxiao’s eyes were filled with tears.
“Hey… you’re my granddaughter. I’ll be happy to spend any amount on you.
“Right! When will your military training end?”
Sun Lingxiao shook her head and said, “This school hasn’t given any details yet, but I heard from the seniors that it might last for three months.”
“Three months?” Fu Xuei was a little surprised. “You’re not in a military school. Why does it have to be that long?”
Sun Lingxiao said helplessly, “I’m not sure about that. It’s the school’s rules. As students, we can only obey the rules.”
Then, she suddenly thought of sothing and added, “I heard from the seniors that this military training is a disguised conscription.”
Fu Xuei said disapprovingly, “That’s fine. Conscriptions are only targeted at boys.”
“That might not be the case. I heard that the seniors said that there’s no discrimination of gender this ti. As long as the standard is t, they have to go to the military unit imdiately. The military seed to have approached so female seniors already.”
After Fu Xuei heard this, she couldn’t help but worry. “Xiaoxiao, don’t perform too well then. You mustn’t get chosen. The army is not a place for humans.”
Sun Lingxiao shook her head and said firmly, “Grandma, actually, I really look forward to the army life.”
Fu Xuei was shocked.
From her impression, her granddaughter was not like that.
How could she say that she wanted to lead an army life? She must have been brainwashed during this military training.
Sun Lingxiao continued, “Grandma, don’t you think those female soldiers are pretty impressive?”
Fu Xuei forced a smile.
They were indeed impressive, but it was too tiring.
She didn’t want her granddaughter to join the military.
However, if she truly loved it, she would not stop her.
They sat on a long bench near the entrance of the grove and chatted.
Sun Lingxiao shared what happened in school and the people she had gotten to know in the past month.
Fu Xuei listened carefully, happy that her granddaughter had made new friends.
“Grandma, I heard from Dad and Mom that you went to Cloud Mountain Guesthouse for wellness?” Sun Ling suddenly asked.
“I’ve been to Cloud Mountain Guesthouse with my classmates before. The environnt is quite good, but it’s a little expensive.”
Fu Xuei nodded and smiled. “That’s right. The environnt is indeed good.”
“But! Grandma, I saw many articles on the Internet saying that the wellness industry is very ssy.
“So health supplent projects have good publicity and are not expensive. However, once you sign up, it will beco very costly.
“Grandma, you have to be careful. Don’t get scamd,” Sun Lingxiao said seriously, afraid that her grandma would get cheated.
Fu Xuei smiled.?What would her expression be if I told her I go there to cultivate?
But, without the Sect Master’s permission, she naturally did not say anything.
Then, they talked about other topics.
The most important one was boy-girl relationships.
The students in the woods had updated Fu Xuei’s worldview. She definitely couldn’t let her granddaughter beco like that.
As they talked about the topic of relationships, the couple from the woods ran out coincidentally.
They seed to be in a hurry and did not notice Fu Xuei and her granddaughter.
Sun Lingxiao could not help but blush when she saw the couple. Evidently, she knew what they were doing in the woods.
This was just a small interlude. They went on about other topics.
…
Sun Lingxiao looked at her watch. She had been out for more than half an hour.
“Grandma, the school managent is very strict these days. I can’t stay out for long. If I’m found out, I might be punished.”
“Alright, then go back quickly! Don’t get punished for coming to see Grandma.”
To Fu Xuei, it was enough that she could see her granddaughter.
“Grandma, I’ll go back now,” Sun Lingxiao said reluctantly.
“Grandma will send you off.” Fu Xuei stood up. It would be nice to accompany her even for a minute longer.
Sun Lingxiao naturally did not refuse.
It was a long way from here to the dormitory building.
Sun Lingxiao stopped in front of an arched building.
“Grandma, we might be discovered if we continue moving forward,” Sun Lingxiao said tactfully.
“I’ll co again after the military training ends,” Fu Xuei said gently.
“Mm! Grandma, take care of yourself.”
“Sa goes for you.”
After saying goodbye, Fu Xuei watched Sun Lingxiao leave.
Fu Xuei’s emotions were complicated.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard a rough voice in the distance.
“Stop!”
“Which class are you from?”
Staff called out to Sun Lingxiao.
“I’m dood!” Sun Lingxiao was extrely flustered.
Seeing this, Fu Xuei imdiately ran over and held Sun Lingxiao’s hand, giving her a reassuring look.
“Grandma!” Sun Lingxiao whispered.
“It’s alright. Grandma will take care of it.” Fu Xuei smiled.
When the staff saw Fu Xuei, who suddenly rushed over, he imdiately asked, “Which class are you from?”
Fu Xuei didn’t explain and just took out so bills from her pocket.
“Sir, please accept this money.” Fu Xuei laughed dryly.
When they saw the money, the staff imdiately understood what the other party ant.
He was on the regular payroll in the university. His salary was less than 200 yuan a day. He wouldn’t miss the change for extra inco.
The staff counted. There were eight bills in total, which was equivalent to four days of his salary.
“Leave!” The staff mber waved his hand and walked away.
“Grandma, I…” Sun Lingxiao felt very guilty.
Fu Xuei said, “Grandma was the one to bla, to begin with. I got you to co out with the risk of being punished.
“Forget it, let’s not talk about it anymore. Xiaoxiao, you should hurry back to avoid being discovered again.”
“Mm!”
They said goodbye again.
Suddenly, sothing else happened.
There was a loud bang that sounded like an explosion. It was deafening and clear, and there was an obvious intense tremor beneath their feet.
At the sa ti.
In a certain pitch-black space within Cheng’ an, Qin Chuan floated in mid-air. The True Qi around his body circulated with a golden light, exuding an imposing aura.
There was a huge spherical multi-colored crystal wall in front of him.
“What a tough barrier! Even a full-strength strike of a Golden Core couldn’t break through it!”
