In the evening, Chen Suozhu went to the Li family and spoke with the eldest son, agreeing to his dropping out of school:
"Afu, being a simple farmer is also a kind of happiness. You don't need to compare yourself with Haohao and the others."
Thus, Chen Fu's dropping out of school was decided.
Li Min was so angry that she ignored her husband and eldest son for three days.
Wan Zhongshan left with his subordinates, and Tian Jing and Li Zhengguo saw them off.
Li Zhengguo thanked Wan Zhongshan for his tolerance towards them.
Wan Zhongshan felt a little embarrassed. He had delayed the development of Kushan for a year and Kushan had also accepted forty disabled retired soldiers.
After seeing Wan Zhongshan off, Zeng Jingrong couldn't hold back, "Tian Jing, we..."
Tian Jing waved her hand, "Don't rush, we'll go first thing tomorrow morning."
That night, Tian Jing returned to the small Western-style building to talk with her youngest son.
Ranran nodded firmly, "I want to awaken my superpowers."
The next morning, Zeng Jingrong met Tian Jing at the back mountain. Seeing Li Weixin beside Tian Jing, he smiled:
"Ranran too?"
"Wood element."
"Hahahaha." Zeng Jingrong laughed heartily.
"That's great, our Han family will prosper again."
Tian Jing gave him a sideways glance, "What does it have to do with the Han family?"
Zeng Jingrong's smile remained unchanged, "All descendants of the Han family who inherit superpowers will change their surname to Han."
"Try changing it and see."
"I was talking about the past. Now, surnames are not important, people are. Let's go."
Tian Jing hugged her young son and leaped onto the treetop, "See you at the Formation Hall."
Zeng Jingrong hurried to catch up.
At the Formation Hall, Tian Jing waited for Zeng Jingrong on the mountaintop.
Zeng Jingrong arrived more than ten minutes later than Tian Jing.
Before he could ask, Tian Jing directly told him:
"This was Chen Yaoming's first visit. Grandpa Chen was worried about Chen Suozhu and Afu, and knowing I was from the Chen family, he told me about the Chen family's affairs..."
"I had the golden key and the golden lock, and I found the map, so of course I had to go in and take a look."
"When I activated the formation above the maze, I sensed a rule of destruction there."
"This rule stole my memories and displayed a lot of chaotic stories."
"Li Zhengguo and I both believed it to be true. To prevent the events in the stories from happening, I secretly gave birth to Ranran."
"After Sun Liyang entered the formation, I don't know what he specifically saw."
"But I pondered for a long time to understand that the rule targeted those with impure intentions or those with various desires."
"Like me, Li Zhengguo and I planned to take the valuables and make the Chen family's joy in vain, which is a kind of selfish desire."
"When I discovered that the valuables in the treasury were used by the Chen family as energy to set up the innermost formation, I knew that the Chen family who set up the private vault was also influenced by that rule."
"So, I utilized this rule of heaven and earth. When I came out, I suppressed it, for fear of being struck by lightning."
"When Chen Yaoshi came looking for me, I felt that I had already used the formation to its full potential, so I let him trade useful information for the golden key and lock."
"He gave me several pieces of information, none of which I thought were worth the value of the Chen family's private vault. So he sold me the news about the Fuhan Gang."
"After Chen Guangfu and Xiao Wei came looking for me, I guessed that Chen Yaoshi hadn't come out. I couldn't figure out why he hadn't come out."
"But I couldn't say too much, and the fact that I had been in the private vault was even more so."
"If you hadn't wanted to upgrade, and if this matter hadn't dragged on Kushan for too long, I wouldn't have wanted to meddle."
Under Zeng Jingrong's expectant gaze, Tian Jing turned to look at the valley below the mountain, which, without the formation, was directly revealing a valley filled with thick fog:
"Since Xie Wensheng could enter the private vault without the blood of the Chen family, this place is the best training ground, because the maze allows for both leveling up and tempering the mind."
Zeng Jingrong excitedly clasped Tian Jing's hand and shook it vigorously:
"Thank you, thank you, on behalf of the entire special skills team, I thank you. Tempering the mind is currently the top priority for the special skills team."
Li Weixin pushed Zeng Jingrong, "You are not allowed to touch my mother."
Zeng Jingrong bent down and picked him up, lifting him high, "I am your uncle, your real uncle."
"Mom?"
Tian Jing glared at Zeng Jingrong and comforted her young son, "He is Uncle Zeng's older brother, you can call him Uncle Rong."
Li Weixin looked down at the strong man holding him, "Uncle Rong."
"Hey!"
Zeng Jingrong lowered Li Weixin and kissed him on the cheek, "smack."
"Good boy! Uncle didn't have time to bring a gift, I'll make it up to you next time."
Li Weixin wiped his face with disdain, "Next time, don't kiss me, consider that a gift."
Tian Jing took her young son back, "I've told you everything you wanted to know. I have no business here anymore. I'm taking Ranran to awaken his superpowers elsewhere."
"Ranran hasn't awakened yet?"
"Yes! I originally planned to awaken him at ten, but Sun Liyang exposed Ranran's true identity, and you all know it now, so I decided to awaken him now."
Zeng Jingrong stopped her, "Wait, how are you going to awaken him?"
Tian Jing raised an eyebrow, "Do I need to tell you this too?"
Zeng Jingrong gave an embarrassed smile, "Can I watch?"
"Let's go."
Tian Jing found a place with dense trees. The vegetation around the forest was abundant, although it was all withered. To her, it was just a matter of a palm strike.
Within a few minutes, the plants within a radius of several kilometers became lush and vibrant.
Zeng Jingrong couldn't help but hold his breath in anticipation.
In his anticipation, the plants withered and then greened, greened and then withered, repeatedly.
He couldn't count how many times these plants went through cycles of withering and blooming before they suddenly withered and died on a large scale.
Then, he felt a sensation of energy being drained from his body, scaring him into quickly running out of the dead zone.
Tian Jing opened her eyes, "Ranran, did you remember all the sensations and pathways?"
Li Weixin nodded, "I remembered. Mom, am I already level two?"
"Yes! Beginner level two, but you need to train diligently. Your foundation was all built by me, and you're not very familiar with it yet. The process of training is about integration."
"Mhm. I will practice diligently."
"Don't reveal it in front of ordinary people."
"I know."
Zeng Jingrong ran over, "Ranran, how does it feel?"
"A very good feeling."
Zeng Jingrong immediately grabbed Li Weixin's wrist, "Level two?"
Li Weixin pulled his hand away, "Uncle Rong, you are impolite."
"Hahahaha."
Zeng Jingrong laughed heartily, "Yes, yes, Uncle Rong is impolite, I apologize to Ranran. Next time, I will be careful."
Li Weixin ignored him, "Mom, I plan to use this area to practice."
"Okay, restore this area to its former state."
...
Mother Li discovered that her little grandson went to the quadrangle courtyard every day and only returned in the evening, doing his homework at night.
She dared not ask her youngest daughter-in-law and quietly went to the village committee to ask her youngest son.
Li Zhengguo told his mother, "Tiantian is teaching Ranran martial arts."
Mother Li went home relieved and stewed meat for her little grandson.
Li Zhengguo remembered the joke from back then when he thought superpowers needed to be replenished with food.
But he couldn't stop his mother's love for her grandson.
So when Li Weixin asked his father to tell his grandmother to stop stewing meat for him,
Li Zhengguo said righteously, "What you're eating is not meat, it's a piece of love."
Li Weixin was speechless.
