9: Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial

Henan Military Region, secret base.

In the enclosed basement were one hundred and eight university students with excellent Demonic Path Aptitude, selected from various universities in Henan Province.

"Students, what lies before you is a top-secret confidentiality agreement. Sign it, and you will understand the truth of the matter."

The soldier king standing in front said sternly.

"Officer, we are just ordinary university students. How could we be involved with a confidentiality agreement?"

A university student in the crowd asked, puzzled.

"I can only tell you that this matter concerns the highest-level China meeting held yesterday. For you, this is an excellent opportunity."

Du Fei stopped abruptly, his gaze sweeping over the six university students from Shanhe University, a little excited in his heart.

He hadn't expected that among these six, there was not only a Demonic Path Prodigy but also an expert who could shatter a crystal ball!

He had already reported this matter to Leader Bai of the Dragon God Special Operations Group. Bai Yang attached great importance to it, stating directly that he would personally go to the Henan Military Region to inspect it tomorrow!

"Since it concerns the country, then let's sign it."

Zhang Dongdong picked up a ballpoint pen and signed page after page of the thick stack of confidentiality agreements. It truly lived up to its name as a top-secret confidentiality agreement, at least one centimeter thick!

"Bai Yang, oh Bai Yang, why aren't you at the university at such a crucial moment..."

Jiang Fan sighed softly, believing that if Bai Yang had been at the university then, he would surely have been selected as well.

Ten minutes later.

"Since everyone has signed the confidentiality agreement, I won't keep anything from you anymore."

Du Fei revealed a relaxed smile, took out the printed Huaxia Cultivation Method handbook, and said with emotion:

"You are all university students of the new era. You must have read cultivation novels. Bringing you here today is to teach you how to Cultivate!"

Hearing this, everyone was startled.

"My goodness, Cultivating! Isn't this a hundred times more promising than preparing for graduate school at the university?!"

"I didn't expect that China truly has Cultivation Techniques!"

"Hahaha, your Daoist master is going to Cultivate Immortality! If I, Li Dapao, were not born, the ancient immortal Dao would be like a long night!"

Everyone present was a university student, quick to accept new things, and some had already begun to fantasize about holding an immortal sword and soaring through the sky.

However, there is a gap between ideal and reality.

"Officer, why does this Huaxia Cultivation Method require Cultivating with beast blood?"

Zhang Dongdong's tone was a little puzzled. In novels, Righteous Path individuals Cultivate by absorbing Spiritual Qi, while those involving blood are Demonic Cultivators and Evil Cultivators.

"Officer, what Rank of Cultivator is Bai Yang, who compiled the Huaxia Cultivation Method? Can he fly?"

"Officer, why does the Huaxia Cultivation Method only have the first two Ranks? The introduction says there are a total of ten Ranks. Are the later ones unknown?"

"Officer..."

"Stop!"

The chattering questions from the group of university students made Du Fei's ears hurt, and he spoke to stop them:

"You can slowly digest these things yourselves today. Ask me again tomorrow morning when I officially begin to teach you how to Cultivate."

............

Night fell.

Returning to his tent, Zhang Dejian's heart surged with emotion. He couldn't believe that he was actually about to begin to Cultivate!

"Novels all say that the path of Cultivation requires severing one's Heart Demon. This child, Bai Yang, has repeatedly disturbed my Dao Heart. It's time for us to have a clear resolution."

Zhang Dejian's expression was fierce. He was going to become a great figure, a Cultivator!

A small figure like Bai Yang, helping him to sever his Heart Demon, was the value of his existence.

"Hello, Advisor Wang? How is the process of expelling Bai Yang going? Still two more days?!"

"No, I'm giving you one hour to get it done immediately! Otherwise, your promotion will have to wait another ten years!"

Wang Dujuan angrily hung up the phone. She indeed needed the vice principal's help with her promotion, so she could only bite the bullet and bypass the dean's and principal's approval process.

"Hello, are these Bai Yang's parents?"

"Yes, yes, I am Bai Yang's advisor."

"Bai Yang hasn't been attending classes recently, and his egregious behavior has seriously affected the learning atmosphere of the grade. Our university is now officially expelling Bai Yang!"

"You parents are too unqualified. How could you raise your child to be like this!"

"Even if both of you are uneducated, you should still properly discipline him! With a family like yours, raising a child like this, there's no hope!"

"I'm hanging up!"

........................

Zhang Yumo looked at Bai Hong, her brows still tinged with an lingering worry.

"Old Bai, do you think it's reliable for Yang Yang to drop out of university to start a business?" Under the influence of traditionalConcept, Zhang Yumo felt that university was the only way out.

The couple had been poor their entire lives, precisely because of their lack of education. After much difficulty, Bai Yang had gotten into university, but now he was expelled.

"If he wants to start a business, let him try. Our family's conditions are much better now than before."

Bai Hong's mood was clearly much better than before.

"Wife, what's been going on lately? I'm a mechanic, but my boss made me deputy factory manager. I just sit in the office drinking tea every day, and my monthly salary is fifty thousand yuan. I feel a bit uneasy taking it."

Although Bai Hong said this, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart.

"It is quite strange. The big boss of Fushikang insisted that my voice was pleasant and made me a broadcaster. I don't even have to go to work every day. I just say 'mealtime' in the group chat at noon and get ten thousand yuan a month."

Zhang Yumo also found it quite strange. Her loud voice was famous in the surrounding ten miles, yet she was praised by the big boss for having a pleasant voice.

"Let's call our son. He's out starting a business, so he doesn't have to worry about us anymore."

........................

"The vast horizon is my love ∽"

Bai Yang took out his phone and saw that it was his father calling. He waved his hand, signaling the soldier kings to continue their training.

"Hello, Dad!"

"You rascal, the university just called and said you've been expelled!"

Facing Bai Hong's loud voice, Bai Yang didn't know how to explain for a moment. After all, in his parents' eyes, attending university was a huge deal.

"However, if you're expelled, then you're expelled. You can also start your business without any worries."

Unexpectedly, Bai Hong did not scold Bai Yang this time.

"Dad, has the sun risen from the west?"

Bai Yang made a joke. His father had always had a stern face towards him since he was little, so Bai Yang was truly unaccustomed to him suddenly becoming so easy to talk to today.

"Yang Yang, Mom and Dad both got promoted recently, and our salaries increased quite a bit. You don't have to worry about the family."

Zhang Yumo's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

Bai Yang smiled knowingly. It seemed that the country had handled the matter well.

"Son, you've grown up. You're an adult now. Dad used to manage you because you were still small. How did you grow so big in the blink of an eye..."

Tears welled up in Bai Hong's eyes, and a few silver hairs were mixed in his dark hair. This towering man, at this moment, appeared somewhat aged.

"Dad supports you, and your mom supports you too. We hope you can make a name for yourself out there and build your own career..."

"Old Bai, we agreed not to talk about these things."

Zhang Yumo placed her index finger over Bai Hong's mouth and said softly, "Yang Yang, whether your business succeeds or fails, you are still Mom and Dad's pride. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, and remember to eat well."

Bai Yang's nose tingled, and he forced a cheerful tone:

"Mom, don't worry. I eat well here and I'm in great health!"

"I'll come back to see you tomorrow after I'm done. That's all for now."

Hanging up the phone, Bai Yang suppressed the sadness in his heart.

Dad, Mom, your son is doing a great thing that will benefit China, and it needs to be kept secret for now.

The predecessors who built nuclear bombs probably, like me, lived in anonymity for over thirty years amidst their relatives' incomprehension, solely for the prosperity and strength of China.

Loyalty and filial piety have always been difficult to balance. Before the secret can be revealed, I can only cause you two old ones some temporary inconvenience.
