Chapter 157: Research Materials (1)_1
After arriving home, Situ Xin hugged Baibai and flashed into the space. Once inside, she didn’t go to the villa, but directly to the cave entrance where she had found Baibai previously. Since the appearance of this mountain, she had developed a habit of coming here, after discovering that the Spiritual Energy was denser than anywhere else in the space.
This was because cultivating here allowed her to progress much faster than in other places, and it wasn’t just a slight difference. Every time Situ Xin cultivated in this cave, she could feel the Spiritual Energy gathering around her, feeling more than twice as much seep into her skin compared to when she cultivated elsewhere in the space.
This habit gradually formed, so that whenever she entered the space, if she wasn’t going to the lab or checking on the vegetables and fruits in the fields, she would flash directly to the mountaintop.
This time, after Situ Xin arrived at the cave, she sat cross-legged on the same jade bed where she had found Baibai before. The previous time she had found Baibai, she had been too rushed to notice what the bed was. It wasn’t until her second visit that she discovered it was a warm jade bed.
"Baibai, go play by yourself, I need to look at these materials," Situ Xin said, worried that Baibai might get bored, urging it to entertain itself.
"Then, Master, I’ll go cultivate. When you leave, remember to come find me, oh, and definitely don’t leave me behind in this space," Baibai said, looking at Situ Xin with its pitiful tiger eyes.
"Alright, rest assured, I won’t abandon you," Situ Xin said impatiently. Every time Baibai was about to part from her in the space to do something, it would give her that pitiful look.
Once Baibai left, Situ Xin took out the materials she had received from Xia Yujie and began to study them. Old Master Jia had three sons, the eldest being Jia Zhengxin, a good-natured man. Old Master Jia didn’t pay much attention to him, so he arranged a cushy, lucrative position for Jia Zhengxin.
Although Jia Zhengxin was somewhat honest, he wasn’t the one that caused Old Master Jia the most headache. The real concern was his second son, Jia Zhengce, a typical second-generation heir. Jia Zhengce was about the same age as Situ Xin’s elder uncle, Situ Haoran, and the two attended the same school and class from childhood. However, their academic performance and popularity were polar opposites, adding to Old Master Jia’s resentment towards the Situ Family. In high school, Jia Zhengce started to hang out with riffraff and, using Old Master Jia’s name, caused trouble everywhere.
Eventually, Jia Zhengce went too far, and Old Master Jia sent him to the military. It was perhaps a twist of fate that Jia Zhengce ended up in the same unit as Situ Haoran.
