Card Master: My Special Feature - Choose One of Three
Chapter 29 Class Begins
At Yujiangcheng Station, Bai's mother, Jiang Nianqing, embraced Bai Miao with tears in her eyes, repeatedly giving him instructions.
"Remember to keep warm as the weather gets colder."
Don't try to tough it out when you encounter problems. Remember to tell your grandpa and maternal grandpa. They are older than you and can give you advice.
Remember to call us every week to let us know you're safe.
Bai Liang, with red eyes, watched his wife and son say goodbye.
The feeling of helplessness of not being able to be a support for one's child, but instead having to worry about them.
This gave the middle-aged man an indescribable air of dejection.
Pink Ball is also very reluctant to part with White Dad and White Mom. White Dad would secretly bring it cake to eat, and White Mom would make it delicious food every day.
Mei Ruofang, accompanied by her grandfather Bai Guodong, and the Jiang family driver, accompanied by her maternal grandfather Jiang Lingxian and maternal grandmother Wen Pingxin, went to the station together and watched the family of three say goodbye from afar.
The political landscape of Yujiang City is about to change. Bai Liang and Jiang Qiu Nian, a married couple, are both first-tier non-combat card masters. Staying in Yujiang City could easily make them a liability, subject to retaliation and harm.
The Jiang family, the Bai family, and Bai Miao unanimously decided to send the couple to Shenzhou Alliance's core city, Shenjing, for a period of time, until the turmoil subsided before they returned.
The couple had no idea what was going to happen next, only that it was serious.
They knew that staying in Yujiang City would only be a burden to their families.
The new ideas and new civilization that were once touted with such certainty have become sharp knives stabbing into the heart in the dead of night.
"I will, Mom, don't worry, the bureau has arranged for people to protect me."
You're all so busy with the elixir shop, you don't get a break all year round. Consider this a vacation, go have fun, and come back happy too.
Silly child, how can your mother be happy?
Jiang Qiunian's eyes were filled with tears, and she forced out a smile that was even more painful than crying.
"Okay, Mom will have a lot of fun."
The Bai couple boarded the car, and Bai Miao composed himself and walked out of the station.
After exchanging greetings with Bai Miao, Mei Ruofang took Bai Guodong back to the Bai family home first.
Jiang Lingxian and Wen Pingxin's car was parked on the side of the road. As Bai Miao walked by, Jiang Lingxian rolled down the window and, almost in a commanding tone, demanded of Bai Miao:
"Come to the Jiang family every weekend from now on. You need to work on your martial arts skills as soon as possible."
"Grandpa, I know."
Bai Miao, unusually, did not refuse, knowing that his grandfather meant well.
After the Jiang family's car drove away, Wen Pingxin slapped Jiang Lingxian's hand and scolded him:
Why are you talking to Amiao like that? Poor child.
"I only had to be ruthless with him because I felt sorry for him. We realized the truth too late: spoiling a child is like killing a child."
Amiao is intelligent; he understands us.
"Sigh, this child." Wen Ping sighed. She was aware of Commander Yan's plan, but she never expected that the breakthrough point would be her own grandson.
She couldn't help but feel sorry for him, "Ah Miao is only eighteen years old."
"None of my Jiang Lingxian's descendants are cowards."
"Why are you crying at your age? It's just that your parents went on a trip. Even when my parents went to heaven, I wasn't this heartbroken."
Wei Liang gripped the steering wheel and noticed that Bai Miao remained silent after getting into the car, sensing the oppressive atmosphere emanating from him.
The Secret Service assigned Wei Liang to protect Bai Miao.
Firstly, he is exceptionally strong; his Instant Step combined with the Hundred Crack Fist technique makes him highly mobile and lethal.
Secondly, he is familiar with Bai Miao, and not only would Bai Miao feel more at ease, but his frequent appearances around Bai Miao would not attract unnecessary attention.
Wei Liang only knew that his mission was to protect Bai Miao, but he had no idea what Bai Miao was involved in.
"Isn't it a bit unfair to compare an 18-year-old teenager with a weathered 30-something man like you?"
Bai Miao fastened his seatbelt.
"Did I bully you?"
"I did bully you," Bai Miao logged into the Yujiang University teacher backend on his phone, submitted the course name, and decided to continue teaching Spiritual Arts.
"Don't you feel a little ashamed in front of a passionate, young, and sunny man like me?"
Wei Liang turned up the music volume, glanced at his unshaven beard and oily skin through the rearview mirror, and then compared them to Bai Miao's clean and refreshing appearance.
He thought to himself, "That's called masculinity. What do young people know?"
At Yujiang University, students were constantly refreshing the page on the online course booking website.
The moment Bai Miao's elective spiritual arts course appeared, people immediately tried to grab the class, causing the page to lag due to the high frequency of clicks.
Thirty seconds later, the page refreshed, and Bai Miao's class was already full, with more than fifty students on the waiting list.
Yan Jin stared at the course selection backend, paying attention to the registration status of various spiritual arts elective courses.
She didn't want to admit that she had a little bit of resentment towards Bai Miao and wanted to compete with him.
Coming from the Yan family, a family renowned for its spiritual arts, she truly unleashed her full potential and invested heavily this time.
"Strange, I've already changed the course name to 'Spiritual Arts Thirteen - Advanced Spiritual Soldier,' so why are there still so few students signing up?"
After scrolling down the course list, Yan Jin realized she had been too conservative.
Other teachers named their classes "Mastering Spiritual Arts II in Three Days", "Lazy Person's Guide to Spiritual Arts IV", and "Guaranteed Pass Class for Spiritual Arts VI".
They are all more attractive than her.
This reform, which began with spiritual arts, involved more than just the Bai and Yan families.
Yujiang University extended invitations directly to all card masters in Yujiang City. Any card master who is skilled in spiritual arts can apply to teach at Yujiang University.
Card instructors with outstanding teaching results will be hired and retained.
Yujiang University is known for its refined and prestigious atmosphere, excellent benefits, and the lack of violence.
Many card manufacturers are desperate to get a job at Yujiang University, but they can't find a way in.
Many card masters come from small families, whose families have passed down one or two spiritual techniques. They bring these techniques with them to Yujiang University to try their luck.
In order to successfully retain their positions, those card instructors who successfully obtained the qualification to teach courses naturally came up with fancy course names, just to attract students to enroll.
The fact that Bai Miao's class time was snapped up immediately shows that he was the most outstanding among all the teachers.
The Command Office, the Special Operations Bureau, and the military are collectively referred to as the Three Departments. They also have an open channel for exchanging skills, where contribution points can be exchanged for advanced spiritual techniques.
Soon, Yan Jin saw that students were also signing up for her courses.
She checked the student information in the backend: Su Zhiwen, He Changlin, and Lü Dantong.
She glanced at the three students' names and gave a cold laugh.
"Ha, the Su family, the He family, the Lü family."
The Su, He, and Lü families are the three most stubborn card-making families in Yujiang City. Their members do not work for the Three Departments, but only serve their families.
The psionic industry they are involved in is highly profitable and highly closed.
The psionic products produced by different families mostly circulate within the card master families.
These powerful and unruly card-making families have always been a major headache for the administrators of Yujiang City.
The actions of the command office and Yujiang University could not be kept secret from the Kashi family; this was an open conspiracy.
They're offering their closely guarded, secret techniques for free, leaving family card masters with no advantage in passing down their skills.
If they sit idly by and wait for their demise, the only outcome will be being eliminated by the times and facing destruction.
"What a brilliant move! He's forcing us to rebel!"
If we don't rebel, we'll have no choice but to have our children join the Three Departments; otherwise, one day we'll lose all our advantages and our family will cease to exist.
However, if the sons and grandsons were to join the Three Departments, the family would exist in name only.
In the Su family meeting hall, Su Yang, the head of the Su family, with a somber expression, earnestly addressed the numerous clan leaders present:
"Everyone! We are now at a critical juncture, facing life and death!"
