Chapter 25

When he learned that he would be staying at the "Enlightenment School" for a while, Dongfang Xiuzhe was genuinely surprised.

Although he had long wanted to leave home and explore the outside world, he did not expect the opportunity to come so suddenly, completely disrupting his plans.

These past two days, he had been teaching Chen Yue and Chen Xing, the two young girls, about the "Yin-Yang and Five Elements Technique." He didn’t know when he would be able to return.

The younger the age, the better for learning the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Technique. Dongfang Xiuzhe earnestly requested his parents to let him take Chen Yue and Chen Xing with him, but they did not agree.

Indeed, this time he was to be away from his family’s help. If he were to take the two maids with him, it would not achieve the desired effect.

Dongfang Long and his wife were resolute this time. No matter what Dongfang Xiuzhe said, they did not change their minds.

"When will we depart?" Seeing that the decision was final, Dongfang Xiuzhe did not want to waste more words and asked Hu.

"In a week!" the guard Zhao Hu replied.

His task was to safely deliver Dongfang Xiuzhe to the "Grassroots Enlightenment School" in a week.

"Only a week left, it’s really too rushed!" He muttered to himself and sighed helplessly.

He could understand his parents' purpose in making this decision—nothing more than hoping their son would become a dragon!

What could that enlightenment school teach me? Combat skills are out of the question, and there’s no need to learn reading and writing. Could it be magic?

He felt a slight sense of anticipation, but he was worried about Chen Yue and Chen Xing.

What will happen to them after I leave? I’ve already started teaching them the "Yin-Yang and Five Elements Technique." Should I just stop?

Giving up halfway is not my style!

What should I do?

Suddenly, an idea came to Dongfang Xiuzhe’s mind, but his expression was hesitant.

"Maybe, only that way can it be done quickly? But..."

Recently, Chen Yue felt very uneasy, not because she was worried about Zheng Xiumei taking revenge, nor because someone in the mansion was being harsh to her. Her unease came from her young master, Dongfang Xiuzhe.

"Little sister, do you feel it too?" Chen Yue looked at her sister with a serious expression.

Chen Xing nodded, her expression uneasy, and with red eyes, she said, "Sister, Little Master is a good person, I don’t want to be separated from Little Master."

Don’t look at Chen Yue and Chen Xing being young, but the hardships they had experienced had already made them mature. They noticed the unusual behavior of the adults, even though they hadn’t heard any specific news, they felt that their young master was about to leave them.

Chen Yue tightly held her sister’s hand. How could she not want to stay by Little Master’s side forever?

Since their mother passed away, Little Master was the only one in the world who truly cared for them, not only standing up for them but also teaching them skills!

"Little sister..." Chen Yue’s eyes suddenly became determined.

"Sister, I feel the same way." It seemed Chen Xing knew what her sister was about to say, and her face was serious.

......

Dongfang Xiuzhe stared at Chen Yue and Chen Xing in surprise, even suspecting that he had heard wrong.

"Master, sign a 'Soul Contract' with us!" Chen Yue held her sister’s hand, and both looked at Dongfang Xiuzhe with firm determination.

It was clear that this decision was not made on a whim!

"You two want to sign a 'Soul Contract' with me?" Even after confirming he hadn’t heard wrong, Dongfang Xiuzhe was still very surprised.

The only way to speed up the process was through a 'Soul Contract,' but he didn’t expect Chen Yue and Chen Xing to suggest it first. Could this be what they call a telepathic connection?

"Why?" Dongfang Xiuzhe couldn’t understand why the two sisters would suddenly make this request.

"We don’t want to be separated from Master!" Chen Xing suddenly choked up.

"Have you two heard about it?" Dongfang Xiuzhe sighed, "Actually, I’m just being sent out for training for a while. The separation is only temporary!"

"Born to be Master’s person, dead to be Master’s ghost!"

Chen Yue looked agitated, not expecting that her and her sister’s guess was right—Little Master was really leaving.

"Born to be Master’s person, dead to be Master’s ghost!" Chen Xing repeated.

At that moment, Dongfang Xiuzhe was deeply moved, a warm current surging in his heart.

... With a flash of light, the 'Soul Contract' was successfully formed and immediately took effect.

The three hearts, along with their souls, were now tightly connected.

In the future, no matter how dangerous the environment or how powerful the enemy, they would never abandon each other!

Forever!!

After the contract took effect, Chen Yue and Chen Xing instantly gained one-tenth of Dongfang Xiuzhe’s energy.

One-tenth of Dongfang Xiuzhe’s energy was still too powerful for Chen Yue and Chen Xing. If they were to absorb it on their own, it would take several months.

However, with Dongfang Xiuzhe’s help, the absorption time was shortened to five days.

Any method for rapid advancement comes with a price, and this 'Soul Contract' was no exception!

From now on, the two sisters would swear to serve Dongfang Xiuzhe until death, and any hint of betrayal would result in punishment from the contract.

Their souls would be under Dongfang Xiuzhe’s control!

With the foundation of energy, Chen Yue and Chen Xing found it much easier to learn the initial techniques of the "Yin-Yang Technique."

"... Absorb spiritual energy, convert it into true essence energy and incorporate it into the body. When releasing 'Inner Path' spells, convert more into mental energy to reduce consumption; if it’s an 'Outer Path' divine skill, directly release true essence energy to achieve maximum power!"

Dongfang Xiuzhe patiently guided them while demonstrating.

Under his patient teaching, Chen Yue and Chen Xing finally learned how to cultivate and accumulate true essence energy on their own, as well as how to use talismans.

Since the week was too short, even with their high aptitude, they could only learn this much.

In Dongfang Xiuzhe’s view, this barely scratched the surface.

"During my absence, you two must practice every day. Only with a solid foundation will it be easier to learn other techniques in the future." Dongfang Xiuzhe took out a stack of pre-made talismans from his pocket.

He continued, "I have already taught you the method of making talismans through 'soul transmission.' With your current abilities, it will take a long time to successfully make talismans. Before that, practice drawing the talismans until you are proficient."

Chen Yue and Chen Xing reached out to take the talismans and carefully put them away.

"Tomorrow I will leave. If anything happens, you can tell me through 'mental communication.'" A hint of reluctance flashed across Dongfang Xiuzhe’s face.

"Master, come back soon!"

"Sure, I will!"
