Chapter 86. Copper Pot That Can Multiply
Long, long ago, on Planet Zi, there lived a young man named Ling Xuan. He was a scholar, and although his family was not the richest, he lived comfortably. His neighbours were close family friends, and among them was a girl named Yula, who was a year younger than him.
Yula always aspired to become a doctor, but her family was too poor to afford the tuition fees. Ling Xuan, who was almost her childhood sweetheart, decided to help her achieve her dream. He stopped his studies and went to work, using his earnings to pay for her tuition fees.
Yula studied diligently, and her hard work paid off as she became the top student in her class. Jin Tao, who was studying in the same class, became interested in her. He gave her flowers and invited her on a date, but Yula refused.
Jin Tao, the son of the prime minister, even mentioned his status, hoping she would change her mind. However, Yula remained firm in her refusal. Undeterred, Jin Tao approached her parents. They were overjoyed at the prospect of their daughter being courted by the prime minister’s son and persuaded Yula to accept him.
Yula’s parents also asked Ling Xuan not to see her again. Heartbroken, Ling Xuan wanted to hear Yula’s opinion. However, his heart shattered further when he saw Yula holding hands with Jin Tao and laughing.
Yula saw Ling Xuan and panicked, but Ling Xuan simply turned around and left. Yula was confused but still believed she had made the right choice for her future.
Ling Xuan, feeling aimless, decided to leave the place. The next day, Yula discovered that their neighbours had moved away.
Ling Xuan did not resume his studies. Instead, he found a job at a shrine. Aisha, the daughter of the shrine’s owner, fell in love with him. After many attempts, she managed to open his heart, and they eventually became a couple. Aisha’s parents approved of their relationship, satisfied with Ling Xuan’s good character.
However, soon another problem arose. Due to a sudden war, many refugees began hoarding towards the shrine for free food. The shrine, which operated on donations, struggled to cope with the increasing number of refugees.
Ling Xuan decided to sell some old items and relics from the shrine to fund food for the children. Aisha’s parents did not object. While sorting through the items, he accidentally dropped some coins into a copper pot. As he retrieved the coins one by one, a miracle happened. (Yup, the readers know what that miracle was.)
Soon, the problem of feeding the refugees was solved. Ling Xuan knew that this miracle could lead to disaster, so he kept it a secret and never told anyone. Due to his service to the refugees, Ling Xuan’s name resonated across the country.
