Ma Lin knew he couldn't force his family to pay for his ambitions.
It was only right for him to strive for his ideals, but his family need not work too hard to help him achieve his dreams.
After his father went to Ke La clan, and his mother to the Xilang Desert, Ma Lin began to regret it, because his parents were trying too hard, even more so than the other Ke La clan trainees and Children of the Forest; he started to feel heartache.
But to his surprise, after helping the Ke La clan for a month, his father was promoted and became an intermediary healer.
Teacher Zhao Jiabang said to Ma Lin, "Your father might be promoted again soon, and though you find the days here tough, he doesn't, and you can see his complexion has improved a lot."
His mother, on the other hand, was mastering new Fauna Spells every day, believing that the 'Children of the Forest' was actually a teaching institution for Plant Mages, far more efficient than any other place.
