Chapter 201: Gathering

“All of you are done with the registration, now we are officially a team!” Brother Li exclaimed with an excited face as he clapped his hands, bringing everyone’s attention.

While fiddling with the token, Bai Yunxian became curious after seeing the serial number on it.

“It seems a lot of people come to take part in this contest.”

One of Brother Li’s lackeys sneered in disdain seeing how dense Bai Yunxian was. “This contest is not so famous only because of the loot they get in the hunt. This contest became famous not only because of that, but due to the intervention of the great elders from the prestigious academies.”

“Great Elders?” Bai Yunxian seemed curious as he listened to him intently, the guy also seemed to be a bit proud as he continued eagerly.

“Since this is one of the biggest contests of the year where both young and old, noob and experienced Martial Artists from all over the continent gathers, it’s a high time for the Academy’s and sects to appraise great talents within the crowd and take them as their disciples. There were also times when the elders chose their direct disciples from this contest, and took them back to mold them into Martial Arts prodigies!”

“This time, the Tianzhu Academy Elders are also here to gather students for their Academy this year. Are you interested?” Mo Ling Yuan didn’t hesitate to take the chance to speak up. If he really wanted to go, Mo Ling Yuan could write up a recommendation, which would be enough for him to get into at least any three or four star Academy.

“If you are interested and want to join any Academy or a sect, I can get you a recommendation letter. Though, there are some requirements… if you want to know, ask me anytime, alright?” Mo Ling Yuan’s gentle and coaxing tone meant something rather deep and indescribable, Bai Yunxian didn’t pay any attention to him as he scoffed, distancing himself from Mo Ling Yuan as he smiled.

Those Academies, although not proficient as those two and one star Academies, would be more than enough for Bai Yunxian to cultivate and get resources, he should be grateful for this favor to Mo Ling Yuan, right?

“You don’t need to worry about me so much, Chancellor. If I need something, I can just ask for it from Young Lord Yun, I won’t need to meet any ’requirements’ that you asked of, nor will I need to wait for confirmation in those low level academies. So, tell me, Chancellor. Isn’t it good for me if I were to take the deal that expects nothing from me rather than one with rules and restrictions?”

“…!!!”

Mo Ling Yuan was taken aback by the straight answer from Bai Yunxian, he didn’t expect the table to turn like this.

Master Bai, no, Bai Zhu*. He was obviously angry.

Mo Ling Yuan hinted at something, but he didn’t expect Bai Yunxian to react so strongly. He was finally losing his temper after Mo Ling Yuan bothered and pestered him for so long.

Should he take it as a good sign?

Before, he didn’t even bother to reply to his words, nor would he glance at Mo Ling Yuan’s way. From the moment Mo Ling Yuan laid his eyes on Bai Zhu, he knew that he wanted this young man.

But unfortunately, Bai Zhu didn’t show any interest, nor did he look up to Mo Ling Yuan once. Was it finally his time to take on?

He simply thought of Bai Yunxian as a young cub who doesn’t know the way around the world, but it seems he underestimated this guy. Truly, it was…

Even more tempting!

When Bai Yunxian stays calm and quiet, he looks like a goddess coming out of a painting, a sculpture made by god, with a serene temperament, he is like a gentle white lily, the epitome of purity.

But when he was angry, arrogant, his appearance changed into something else entirely. His fierce and feisty temperament was like that of a goddess of wrath, a rose full of thorns, and a being to be conquered!

“I didn’t mean…” Mo Ling Yuan wasn’t able to control his excited expression as he smiled with a distraught face.

“Why do you need to explain yourself? We all heard exactly what you said.” Xia Shen interrupted as he stared at Mo Ling Yuan with eagle eyes.

Because it seemed like a private matter, others didn’t want to be rude and interrupt those two. But Xia Shen seemed to have no awareness as he bluntly spoke out, causing an awkward atmosphere to weigh down.

“That…” Mo Ling Yuan wanted to say something, but was interrupted again.

“I don’t care about that. Time will eventually tell everything.” To everyone’s surprise, Bai Yunxian once again took his neutral instance as he turned around, asking, “Do you guys wanna stay here and waste time? Or go inside the Forest already?”

A total of Five hundred people together can go inside the forest once at a time, and the portal will be opened a total of ten times in a day. That’s why some people took time to prepare and choose the right time, while some tried to go at the very first.

After a discussion, Bai Yunxian’s team came to the conclusion that they will enter in the first teleport of groups, so they had to prepare quicker than other teams. As a result, the team disbanded for the moment, to take care of their own things and prepare properly.

Soon, the team gathered at the entrance of the forest, blending with the other teams that came for the first batch of teleportation. There were various teams around, but the few teams that caught Bai Yunxian’s eyes seemed a bit exceptional.

“That’s the uniform of the Azure Sword Sect, that one over there is the Snow Lily sect consisting of only women.”

A/N : *Bai Zhu is the name Bai Yunxian took as a disguise for this mission.
