In the society of the Frost Kingdom, where women were valued more than men, men had always been in an awkward position.
Often, those who held high positions and even powerful martial artists were mostly women.
Furthermore, in the Frost Kingdom, females tended to be more talented than males. This was probably the result of generations of genetic influence.
Therefore, although Ye Zhishan never hated her son, she never paid much attention to him.
After all, the circle of nobles was more realistic.
It was common for benefits to matter.
It wasn't until Ye Xiu was fourteen years old and was tested to have outstanding bloodline talent that Ye Zhishan began to pay attention to him.
But that was all.
The only time Ye Zhishan realized the importance of her son was when Ye Xiu told her that his bloodline had mutated.
Bloodline mutation often meant an increase in talent.
And reality proved that Ye Xiu's talent had indeed improved greatly after that bloodline mutation.
Ye Zhishan saw her son as the future hope of her family because of his Deep Gold Rank bloodline talent.
After all, the kingdom only favored women over men, not men.
A truly talented person, regardless of gender, would be put in an important position.
"You've grown up. You can decide for yourself how you want to walk in the future.”Ye Zhishan said earnestly," The path of martial artists has always been arduous. You must remember that only by having a firm belief in your heart can you reach the end.”
"People who don't have firm beliefs can't succeed!”
Ye Zhishan picked up the two brown bags on the table and handed them one each.
These were two storage pouches, the very ordinary kind.
Inside were some Primal Crystal Stones, which were their living expenses for the next semester.
"Go, prepare well."
The two of them nodded, took their things, and left the study after bidding farewell.
......
At night, when she heard that Ye Xiu was leaving tomorrow, her sister, Ye Xiaoxuan, ran to Ye Xiu's room again.
"Brother, when are you coming back?”
Ye Xiaoxuan, who was hugging her teddy bear, looked up at Ye Xiu, her face full of reluctance.
She had grown up with Ye Xiu and had never experienced her brother leaving her for so long. If her mother hadn't forbidden her, she really wanted to go to the Floating Snow City with her brother so that she wouldn't have to be separated from him.
"Xuan Xuan, be good. I'll be back during the new year. I'll bring you delicious food then. How about that?”Ye Xiu smiled as he looked at his sister. In fact, he was also reluctant to part with his obedient sister, but when he thought of his future development, he could only suppress this reluctance.
People had to learn to grow up. He was like this, and so was his sister.
"But there's still a long time before the new year."
The younger sister's eyes gradually turned red, and tears began to roll in her eyes.
She threw down the teddy bear and ran over to hug Ye Xiu tightly.
"Brother, Xuan Xuan doesn't want you to leave!"
Hugging Ye Xiu, Ye Xiaoxuan cried her heart out. In her small world, this was probably the first time she experienced the pain of parting.
Ye Xiu carried his sister and let her sit on his lap. He reached out and gently wiped the tears off her face.
"Xuan Xuan, be good. When you grow up in a few years, big brother will bring you to see the outside world. Now that big brother is leaving, it's also to work hard to become stronger so that you can protect Xuan Xuan in the future.”
"Then when did I grow up?”His sister looked up at him with teary eyes.
"When you finish the college entrance examination like your brother, you'll grow up.”Ye Xiu smiled as he rubbed his sister's hair." Alright, stop crying. You won't be pretty if you continue crying.”
"Okay, Xuxuan, listen to me. Don't cry.”
Xuan Xuan wiped her tears with her small hand and nodded seriously.
"Xuan Xuan will definitely grow up quickly. When the time comes, let Xuan Xuan protect brother!”
Ye Xiu smiled.
It felt so good to have a family!
......
Late at night, Ye Xiu was still awake.
Perhaps it was because he was leaving tomorrow, but he actually had insomnia.
In his arms was his sister, who had fallen into a deep sleep. She was still talking in her sleep.
"Brother, I'll protect you. You're not allowed to bully me!”
Ye Xiu smiled when he saw the serious expression on her face.
"Then big brother will have to rely on Xuan Xuan to protect him in the future.”He said softly. Xuan Xuan seemed to have heard her brother's words in her sleep, and a bright smile bloomed on her little face.
