8. Second Year! Wilderness survival camp

The rest of the school year after Long Yin's breakthrough went by peacefully. The only thing that worried her was her brother's increasing irritation with a certain Young Master as well as his defeatist attitude that lead to him giving all resources he was allocated to his girlfriend. He was still stuck in the 9th stage of Body Tampering. She tried to talk to him but he'd turn hostile and shut her out.

Recently Long Yin was full of unease every day. Even passing the check for another year of scholarship that rewarded her with additional day in Qi Gathering Room per month didn't soothe her nerves. Listening to current announcement in class let her finally understand what was making her uneasy

- With this the Annual Second Year Wilderness Survival Simulation camp will be taking place next week. Please prepare the basic necessities from the provided list . The aim of the training is to teach you how to survive on unhabited planets and we'll be simulating different environments and situations you might encounter. You will be supervised so you don't have to worry about injuries. The camp will last two weeks.

'Crap. Same time as 4th year combat tournament that my brother will be participating in. I swear, that idiot is going to do something idiotic just when I'm not there to watch over him'

So far she managed to keep her brother from blindly lashing out in anger and provoking a disaster, but she didn't have much hope for him if he was left alone.

'It feels like heaven wants to let him dig his grave. Curses, nothing I can do. I'll tell butler Yang to tail him just in case.'

When she came home she immediately did that. She told her mother about the camp and asked butler Yang to help her pack, using the time alone with him to ask him for help.

- Butler Yang I'll be gone for two weeks this time. I'm uneasy about my brother's safety. I request that you tail him during my absence and save him if his life is in danger.

- If it makes the time away easier for you Young Miss I promise I'll guard his safety during your absence.

- Thank you, Butler Yang. Father would be very thankful to you.

- General Long... would be very proud of you Young Miss...

They continued packing in awkward silence.

After preparing whole weekend Long Yin was currently sitting in a hover bus on the way to the training camp gazing and the clouds wondering how her brother was doing.

Meanwhile at the school campus...

- Xie Yin How could you?! I sacrificed my resources to help you advance and you betrayed me for Han Yao?!

- Don't think too much about yourself Long Tian, a trash like you isn't worth somone like me. If you want to prove your worth then beat Han Yao in the combat tournament.

2 weeks later... The training camp was very educational even for Yin, who was an expert survivalist in her previous life. They learned how to navigate different planetary environments and how to protect themselves from common natural disasters on wild planets like tornadoes or sandstorms. They also learned basics of perserving equipment and maintenance depending on planet type and how to find common resources and recognize rare ones, like special ore veins.

She exited the bus to find a nervously twitching butler Yang waiting for her. With a raised brow she followed him to their family's hover car. As soon as they entered butler Yang bowed in her direction while shouting:

- Young Miss forgive this stupid butler, I've failed the mission you gave me and disappointed you and General Long, letting Young Master come to harm.

- What happened to my brother?

- During the combat tournament Young Master got in fight with Han Yao, a genius of Han family that attends the m same year as him. He refused to surrender and almost got beaten to death. If I didn't force intervention he could've died in the arena.

' I knew it, of course he got in trouble during the only period I couldn't protect him... Is it really heaven's will? '

- Don't feel guilty butler Yang, it's his fault for provoking a disaster and refusing to bow down. At least you saved his life. Once he wakes up I'll give him a good thrashing for making Mother worry. Is Mother with him right now?

-Yes Young Miss.

- Then let us skip driving home and visit him in hospital.

Meanwhile inside a soul of a certain young man laying in hospital bed...

' So your name was also Long Tian and you died in grievance, betrayed by your girlfriend and trashed by a Young Master, labeled as trash yourself? You truly were an idiot... Don't worry, I, Long Tian will fulfill you wishes. I'll take revenge for you, clear your Father's name and get recognized as a true genius, destroying my reputation as trash. Those 2 cultivation techniques I read before transmigrating seen to be more advanced than current Era's. They even have an additional 10th stage. Fortunately this body is still at 9th stage of Body Refining allowing me to achieve perfect foundation. With this I'll reach the greatest heights in this world! '

With that thought "Long Tian "opened his eyes.
