The Universal Genius - Chapter 51

At night, when the Starry Skies reveals itself once again.

Under the beautiful sky, in City Lord’s Garden, a young couple could be seen. The girl was sitting upright, while the boy laying comfortably with his head on her lap closing his eyes.

The handsome boy said to the girl “Rou? There is this question that always bugs me.”

“Hmm? what is it?” The beautiful girl replied while gently combing his hair.

“Why does everyone wanted to be strong?”

The girl’s eyebrows lifted not expecting such question from him.

“Well…Shie? To be honest, I too doesn’t really know why. *Sigh*”

“Huh? Then why do you cultivate so hard then?” Ye Shie asked.

“Hey! The same goes for you! Why do you cultivate every night then!?” She retorted back

Ye Shie opened his eyes, he looked towards her and smiled “Hehe~ Because its comfortable. You felt it too right? For me, cultivating is very very very comfortable. It’s like being embrace warmly. It’s peaceful and soothing”

Xiao Rou nodded in agreement, then her face turned serious and said “You know Shie? In truth, before you reformed my body, Cultivating was never comfortable. Just from sensing the Qi in the atmosphere requires concentration that results in mental exhaustion, also sitting in that same position for hours also makes my body sore. I only persevered because father wanted me too. If not I wouldn’t want to cultivate either.”

Ye Shie’s eyes widened ‘It was uncomfortable? How come? As far as I remember…It doesn’t’

Then Xiao Rou’s beautiful face smiled “But that was all in the past, thanks to you now I can cultivate comfortable and easily. Hehe~ Thank you my Little Shie~” Then she leaned closer and kissed him.

Ye Shie face became flustered at being kissed so suddenly.

After Xiao Rou’s face parted, looking at the flustered Ye Shie and Xiao Rou couldn’t help but giggle. With happiness and contentment in her heart she mumbled while looking at him “I wish this won’t end.”

Ye Shie woke up from his stupor, then he looked at Xiao Rou’s worried face. Cupping her left cheek Ye Shie smiled and said “Don’t worry, It wont. Hehe~” pulling her face towards him Ye Shie also plans to kiss her back.

When their faces was only 5 inches apart, A hand suddenly appeared in front of Ye Shie. Pushing him away gently, She giggled and teased “Nope~ No you can’t! I can be the only one who is permitted to kiss…not you” then she stood up walking away.

Ye Shie sat their looking at her dumbfounded, then he sighed and mumbled “Life is hard…”

In the morning at the City Lord’s Dining Room.

The Xiao Couple and the Young Couples ate together.

“Shie? where do you plan on going today?” Xiao Rou asked Ye Shie beside him.

“Eh… Same as yesterday, wanna come?” Ye Shie invited

“To the Formation Masters Guild?”

“Yeah, Oh speaking of which” Ye Shie looked towards City Lord Bai and said “Uncle Bai? Can I borrow a thousand gold coins?”

Hearing Ye Shie’s request the Xiao families eyebrows perked up.

“A thousand? For what?” City Lord Bai inquired.

“I’d like to apply for a Formation Master examination…can I?” Ye Shie replied.

“Oh?….Sure” City Lord Bai calmly agreed handling Ye Shie a spatial ring.

In truth Both City Lord Bai and Xiao Mei was jolted for a bit, but upon remembering the events yesterday they sighed inwardly at how freakishly talented this adopted son of their is.

Then Xiao Mei said to Ye Shie “Little Shie? Why are you still calling us, as your aunty and uncle? Do you still not accept us as your parents?”

Ye Shie received the spatial ring in shock ‘A Spatial Ring!?’ and hearing Xiao Mei’s question, Ye Shie looked down embarrassed.

Scratching the back of his head Ye Shie replied “Uhm…M-mom? D-dad?”

The Xiao Couple sat straight abruptly feeling electrified…

“Hahaha! Good Good! Very Good!” City Lord Laughed heartily while Xiao Mei beside her also giggled in happiness.

Xiao Rou who was beside him stared at the event with wide eyes thinking ‘Shie will be my brother?…’ then she subconsciously stood up and shouted “NO!”

The Xiao Couple looked towards their lovely daughter meaningfully, understanding their daughters thoughts.

Being stared by her parents like that, Xiao Rou sat down with a blushing face.

Ye Shie watched what transpired in tilted his head in confusion. ‘No? Does she really need to react like that if she doesn’t want to come?’

Ye Shie left Xiao Rou on the Manor after eating, heading straight towards the Formation Masters Guild.

—

After arriving, Ye Shie in front of the Formation Masters Guild.

Ye Shie stopped in his tracks, looking at the word Formation inscribed on a tablet Hanging above the entrance of the Guild.

As if entranced of it, Ye Shie sat down on the spot. In the middle of the Path way.

Looking at the word Formation itself, melting forming into many different shapes and sizes Ye Shie began having different thoughts about Formations. ‘So it besides compression it can be done like this…’

Ye Shie was about to apply what he just learned when

“Hey! You! Shoo! Don’t loiter in front of the Formation Masters Guild! Shoo!!” two guards of the guild shooed him away.

Both of the guards thought he was one of those beggars sitting in front of the guild asking for coins towards anyone who passed.

Ye Shie woke up from his enlightenment, and began walking towards the Formation Master Guild himself.

He walked towards the guard first, showing them a bronze badge. In which causes both the guards to pale in fright, they hurriedly bowed 90 degrees towards Ye Shie saying “Forgive us young master! We’re very sorry, we only thought you were one of those beggars” then they bowed towards him again.

Ye Shie was shocked at their reaction thinking ‘This badge is really useful, hehe~’ then he said towards them “Never mind, It’s my fault in the first place. I apologize, sitting in front of the Formation Master Guild abruptly. Haha~” scratching the back of his head he said “Sorry” bowing down lightly, he walked away.

The guards looked towards him in shock! They both rubbed their eyes in confusion, then they looked at each other wondering if what happened was not a dream…

Ye Shie arrived at the receptionist, and he said

“Uncle receptionist? Can I apply for a Formation Master Examination?”

The receptionist remembered Ye Shie. Politely he replied “Of course! Of course! Young Master, You only need to pay half of what was stated.” but deep within his mind he though ‘*Sigh* Another overconfident one, how many does this count?’

Ye Shie put his right hand above the counter, then 500 gold coins that was stacked neatly appeared.

The receptionist received the money naturally and gave Ye Shie a paper.

“Young Master, Your group number is 3” Pointing towards the door to in the distant left and said “Please enter there and await for further instructions.”

Ye Shie nodded, walking towards his first Formation Master Examination.
