Chapter 214 Recruiting Disciples on the Mainland
On the streets of the imperial city
Li Hua inadvertently looked up and, by sheer coincidence, met Fang Yun's gaze as Fang Yun leaned against the window of the Piaoxiang Restaurant.
The two recognized each other, but both chose to pretend they didn't see each other.
Li Hua didn't want to be recognized, lest she be entangled with Yan Xuejiao.
Fang Yun didn't want Yan Xuejiao's attention to be diverted by Li Hua.
The two tacitly avoided each other's gaze.
Yan Xuejiao followed Fang Yun's gaze.
Confused, he asked, "What are you looking at?"
Fang Yun: "I didn't see anything."
"What could possibly be more beautiful than Princess Xuejiao?"
Yan Xuejiao turned around arrogantly, revealing a smug smile where Fang Yun couldn't see.
“Li Hua is brave and strong, Si Ye is aloof and cold, and Fang Yun is witty. Each of them has their own unique characteristics, and she likes them all.”
Yan Xuejiao was secretly planning when to mention to her father that she wanted Li Hua, Si Ye, and Fang Yun to be her partners.
Imagining the comfortable days when Li Hua would be her protector, Si Ye would warm her bed, and Fang Yun would massage her legs, Yan Xuejiao almost burst out laughing.
On the other side, Si Ye, who had just finished his seclusion in the cultivation room, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
Upon arriving at the registration location, Li Hua couldn't help but sneeze several times.
The junior disciple in charge of registration, Li Tu, asked without looking up, "Name, age, cultivation level?"
Li Zhen: "Li Zhen, 21 years old, early stage of Golden Core."
Li Tu: "Next?"
Li Hua: "Mu Zihua, 24 years old, late stage of Golden Core."
Li Tu: "Next?"
Si Qing: "Si Qing, 12 years old, early stage of Golden Core."
As soon as Si Qing finished speaking, a collective gasp filled the air.
There was a lot of discussion among the crowd.
Even Li Tu put down the jade slip and looked up at Si Qing.
Meeting the child's cold face, he nodded and complimented him, "Young master, you have exceptional talent and will surely achieve great things in the future."
Si Qing nodded to Li Tu and walked away.
He didn't think he was that great.
This scene was viewed differently by others.
Sitting on the high platform, Mo Fei nodded in satisfaction, thinking to himself, "Not bad."
Jian Qing, standing at the back of the group, looked at his younger sister Jian Qing beside him and asked, "Is it him?"
"The child who dined at Lingsu Restaurant alongside the Emperor Yan?"
Jian Qing nodded. "Mm."
Jin Shu glanced at Si Qing a few times, her eyes filled with envy.
Li Tu: "Next?"
Chen Chen: "Chen Chen, 19 years old, peak of Foundation Establishment stage. This is my junior sister Zhang Qiao'er, 16 years old, early stage of Foundation Establishment stage."
Li Tu nodded. "Next?"
Liao Er: "Liao Er, 50 years old, peak of the Nascent Soul stage."
Li Tu: "Next?"
"..."
Two hours later, Li Tu looked at the sky and saw that there was only a quarter of an hour left.
Yan Yun and Yan Moyuan arrived late.
The two did not register and headed directly towards the Royal Court Square.
Behind him followed Si Ye and Si Feng, the siblings Jian Qing and Jian Qing, as well as the talented offspring of important officials of the imperial court.
After three rounds of qualification tests, more than 10,000 cultivators registered this time.
In the end, only thirty-five disciples remained, including Yan Yun, Yan Moyuan, Si Ye, Si Feng, Jian Qing, Jian Qing, Wang Mang, Li Hua, Li Zhen, Si Qing, Liao Er, Jin Shu, Chen Chen, Zhang Qiao'er, and Fang Yun.
Yan Xuejiao was eliminated in the first stage of the aptitude test, specifically in the aspect of temperament.
Royal Palace
Yan Xuejiao pouted and snuggled up to Yan Qi, saying coquettishly, "Daddy, I want to go to the mainland too!"
"My daughter is a princess of the royal court. Why do they accept even commoners but not my daughter?"
Yan Qi's expression was cold and stern. "Xuejiao, don't talk nonsense."
