Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

The method used by Xuan Nu seemed to be different from others, but neither Yin Yin nor Lin Jing Jing understood it, so they did not know the difference.

Xuan Nu examined the two children one by one, and was somewhat surprised.

Both Yin Yin and Lin Jingjing are rare talents. Although they are not large in stature, they have wide meridians. Practicing some fierce external martial arts is not very effective for them, but learning the Xuan Nu Sect's techniques is very suitable for them.

Although she didn't know how well the two children understood, Xuan Nu's attitude improved somewhat.

She told the Lin couple, "I will accept both children."

Just as the Lin couple smiled, she continued, "But for now, they can only be considered nominal disciples. Only after passing my test can they formally become my disciples and my personal disciples."

Xuan Nu was, after all, a first-rate expert. She could have many disciples, but she could only carefully teach a few of them.

Although the Lin family spent a lot of money, Lin's father knew how to exercise restraint.

Besides, his original primary goal was merely to make them disciples on the official basis. Whether his two children could become his personal disciples later was not important. As long as they were disciples of the Xuan Nu Sect, their future would already be guaranteed.

If Xuan Nu's martial arts skills were even higher, and she became a top master, then even if her two children were only nominal disciples, they could still enjoy a peaceful and comfortable life.

When the time comes, he can return home with the title of a disciple of a top master, and his two daughters can marry, have children, or take in husbands to manage the household. He won't have to worry about life in the martial arts world.

So Lin's father happily agreed: "Of course, of course, thank you, Sect Leader."

"I have prepared some daily necessities, and I will send someone to deliver them to the mountain tomorrow. However, I also know the rules of the Xuan Nu Sect, and it is not appropriate to let outsiders in. At that time, I will have to trouble the sect leader to send someone to receive them."

Xuan Nu assumed that this daily use referred to the Yin Yin sisters, so she nodded casually and instructed the woman leading the way: "Hong Yao, remember to make the arrangements."

Hongyao immediately nodded, and seeing that Xuan Nu had nothing to say, she offered to take the Lin family out and also to see where the Yin Yin sisters lived.

Lin's parents and Lin Jingjing followed them outside, but Yinyin boldly tugged at Xuan Nu's sleeve.

When Xuan Nu looked at her, Yin Yin said, "Master, I will definitely become your personal disciple!"

Xuan Nu paused for a moment, then remained silent.

Yinyin didn't feel disappointed at all. She waved happily and ran out to catch up with her family.

Seeing that Yinyin could be so lively even in an unfamiliar place, Lin's parents felt much more at ease and let her be.

Hongyao was somewhat surprised to see this scene. She became much more friendly towards the Lin family and let Yinyin chatter away with her questions.

Although the Xuan Nu Sect has been established for several years, it has not been long since it has taken root in these mountains, so the houses are not far apart.

They didn't walk far before they arrived at their lodgings.

It was called a residence, but in Yin Yin's opinion, it was more appropriate to call it a dormitory. It was a long building, with the interior divided into individual rooms by walls, and Yin Yin and her sister lived in one of the rooms on the side.

Upon opening the door, you can see a small room with three beds, all furnished with bedding. However, only one bed shows signs of use; the other two appear to be new.

Hongyao said, "You've just arrived at the sect and might not be used to it yet. You'll stay with me for the time being."

Lin Jingjing looked around and seemed a little dejected, clearly dissatisfied but not daring to say anything.

But Yinyin and Lin's parents all thought it was alright.

The conditions outside are certainly not as good as those at home, but they are much better than when Lin's father was traveling as a merchant. Even when Lin's mother was a palace maid, the conditions were not as good as these.

Moreover, Yinyin and the other person were with Hongyao, an elder in the family, so there was even less to worry about.

After looking at the beds, Yin Yin asked Hong Yao, "Aunt Hong Yao, this bed is for you, can my sister and I choose the other two?"

After Hongyao nodded, Yinyin pulled Lin Jingjing aside and asked, "Sister, which one do you want?"

Lin Jingjing didn't like any of them, so she didn't care about choosing: "I'm fine with either, Yinyin, you choose first."

"Then I'll choose first," Yin Yin hesitated for a moment looking at the two beds, and chose the one on the right. But she also whispered to Lin Jingjing, "Sister, we can stay on the left tonight and on the right tomorrow night. We'll decide which side we end up on the day after tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Lin Jingjing belatedly realized that although this room was not as well-furnished as her home, it had its advantages, namely that she could spend the night with her sister.

Thinking of this, Lin Jingjing became happy and whispered to Yinyin, "That's fine, but you can't kick off the covers tonight."

Yinyin couldn't help but retort, "It was because my sister was holding me that I was too hot, so I stuck my feet out. The blanket was still on me, that's why I didn't kick it off!"

The two children spoke softly, but the room was quiet, and the adults could hear them clearly.

Mr. and Mrs. Lin smiled, but there was also a hint of sadness in their eyes. From this day forward, they would no longer be able to see their daughters at home every day.

Hongyao also liked how close the two sisters seemed, so she stepped away from them and reminded Lin's father, "The life inside the sect is a bit austere, but everything we need is provided. The junior disciples all use pretty much the same things. You can go back and pick out the things you send tomorrow."

Only then did Lin's father realize that Hongyao and the others' "daily necessities" were different from what he had said: "Don't worry, Miss Hongyao, the two children's things are just a few pieces of clothing to wear close to their skin, and the rest are just rice, flour, oil, salt and other necessities."

Vegetables can be grown inside the gate, and meat can be hunted or raised, but rice, flour, oil, and salt are not easy to grow in the mountains, yet they are essential.

Hongyao hesitated for a moment, then Lin's father spoke up again: "I have bought a manor at the foot of the mountain, but my home is far away, so I will have to rely on you ladies to take care of it for me."

Since it was nominally something that could be traded or exchanged, and it wasn't something that could be obtained for free, Hongyao stopped hesitating and agreed immediately.

Hongyao also understood the deeper meaning behind Lin's father's actions.

The Xuan Nu Sect takes in mostly women with tragic fates. With so many people, their hearts become complicated. Seeing that the Yin Yin sisters have both parents and are loved, it's hard to guarantee that someone won't do something out of resentment.

Lin's father wanted to use these everyday necessities to win people's hearts, so that the people in his household would be obliged to take care of his daughter and prevent her from being bullied.

Hongyao has witnessed many injustices, but she still rarely sees a father like Lin's who loves his daughter so much and is wholeheartedly devoted to her.

Hongyao suddenly understood why, in recent years, the Xuan Nu Sect had rejected all the merchants who had come to them seeking to establish connections with the sect for mutual benefit, but had only agreed to the Lin family, who were not considered wealthy merchants.

The Yin Yin sisters were successfully taken in by the Xuan Nu and visited the residence together. As outsiders, Lin's parents could not linger inside the house.

Yin Yin and her sister followed their parents back to the mountain road, feeling a deep sense of reluctance to leave.

Lin's mother gently stroked the heads of her two children, her eyes reddening.

After a long pause, Lin's father said, "You all know where the estate I bought down the mountain is. If you want to send a message home or ask for anything you'd like to eat, just tell them."

"You must also practice martial arts diligently within the sect. If you are bullied by others, don't be afraid. Just go to your Aunt Hongyao."

In just a few steps, Lin's parents, working together, had already recognized her as their sworn sister based on their previous relationship with Hongyao. Therefore, Yinyin and her sister could now directly call her aunt.

As the sun gradually moved westward, no matter how reluctant they were, it was indeed time to leave. Despite their reluctance, Mr. and Mrs. Lin chose to turn their backs on their daughters and leave first.

The mountain road wound its way through the trees, and the figures of Mr. and Mrs. Lin disappeared from sight in the tearful eyes of Yin Yin and her sister.
