CHAPTER 151: 150. TEN TALENTS SELECTION ASSESSMENT (2/4)

With a clap of his hands, the look on the waiter’s face changed.

However, since the room was already booked and as an innkeeper he couldn’t go against his integrity and forcibly evict the guests, he had no choice but to head upstairs with his head down.

Wenping and the other two followed closely behind.

When they reached the Heaven-numbered room on the third floor, the waiter, while opening the door, said, "Biyue Inn won’t kick you out after accepting your money, but you three are bringing trouble upon yourselves!"

"Why do you say that?" Wenping asked.

"Normally, it would be fine to stay here. But these days are different. People from major powers want to stay in Heaven-numbered rooms. If they find out the three of you are from a Starless Sect, it could cause trouble," the waiter sighed. "I advise you, if any regular rooms become available, move down there quickly."

Wenping replied calmly, "We’ll stay here, there’s no need to switch."

"You won’t listen to me? You’ll suffer soon enough," the waiter shook his head and proceeded to open all three room doors.

"You can choose any of the three rooms, and order food downstairs if you’re hungry."

With that, the waiter quickly left.

After he left, Wenping casually entered a room and told Yang Lele and the other, "Pick any room, put your things down, and rest for a while. Then we’ll go take a stroll around the city."

"Great."

Yang Lele, upon hearing they were going for a stroll, hurried into a room, threw down his luggage, and quickly came back out.

...

A quarter of an hour later, Wenping, the other two, and Haha were walking on the main street of Huangli City.

As they strolled, they bought a lot.

But for Wenping, it was the food that was most appealing. Along the streets of Huangli City, there were many vendors selling various snacks at very reasonable prices.

With ten gold coins, Wenping ate his way down one street.

When night fell, Huangli City was still bustling. Under the silent and quiet night, the city was brightly lit, with lanterns dispelling the darkness of the night.

The streets were even more beautiful than during the day.

"Come take a look at the big auction of filial sons! Even if you don’t buy, come and see!"

This was shouted by a beggar kneeling by the road.

"Young master, don’t go. Come in and have a drink with me,"

This was a courtesan trying to attract customers.

...

The vendors of various trades continuously shouted to sell their goods.

As they strolled, they suddenly saw a long queue ahead. At the end of the queue was a four-story tower-like building. If they were ordinary people lining up, Wenping might not have been interested, but given that they were all at the 13 Realm and fifteen-year-old youths, Wenping became curious.

Yang Lele said, "Sect Leader, should I go ask?"

"No need."

As he said that, Wenping immediately stopped someone walking past him.

Of course, he casually stopped the person and casually asked, "Friend, may I ask why they’re in such a long line?"

"Are you from outside East Lake?" the person stopped asked suspiciously.

"From East Lake..." Wenping was saying as he turned around. Seeing the person he’d stopped, Wenping was initially stunned, feeling a sense of déjà vu. The man had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, wore a blue and gold robe, and exuded the demeanor of a significant figure, with a Great Demon following behind him.

Wenping remembered this wasn’t someone he knew, but after a few more glances, he understood why the person seemed familiar.

Wasn’t this the person riding a Great Demon racing with him in the sky?

He had just randomly stopped a person.

Randomly, to the point where he asked questions without clearly seeing the person, which seemed a bit rude.

Did he share such a fate with this person?

Since they seemed destined, Wenping let the system open his brief information.

Luo Qianye

Gender: Male

Age: 44

Realm: Middle Profound Realm

(Sect Leader of the Two-star Sect, Chiba Sect)

After seeing his information, Wenping was speechless.

This guy turned out to be a Middle Profound Realm cultivator. No wonder he was so hot-headed, riding a Great Demon to chase his flying ship.

Just as Wenping was about to check the information of the person behind him, Luo Qianye squinted at Wenping, and finding himself unable to discern Wenping’s realm, he didn’t treat Wenping as a minor character, saying, "Young man, you’ve got guts to stop me. But since you have, I’ll tell you, that’s where dreams begin for young people. You should go and try it."

Wenping: ...

Could this answer be any vaguer?

And just then, Luo Mi couldn’t help but intervene from the side, saying, "Father, you’re talking nonsense again. The place where dreams start, isn’t it just the registration for the Ten Talents Trial!"

Luo Qianye immediately retorted, "Stop talking nonsense. Without it, how could your father have smoothly traveled the road of dreams to reach where I am today? So, when you speak of it, remember to do so with reverence, for it will also become the starting point of your life."

Luo Mi shook his head helplessly, then said to Wenping, "Friend, you should know about the Ten Talents Trial, right? If you want to participate, go there to register. You can take the selection examination tomorrow."

Wenping suddenly thought of the Ten Talents Token in his storage ring and tentatively asked, "Do I need a Ten Talents Token?"

"Do you have one?"

"No."

"Then that’s it. Without a Ten Talents Token, you can only obediently participate in the selection examination. With a Ten Talents Token, you can directly participate in the final Ten Talents Trial."

After speaking, Luo Mi heard his father calling from a distance and quickly caught up with him.

Seeing them leave, Yang Lele immediately spoke, "Sect Leader, aren’t those two the ones behind the pigeon?"

"What a coincidence, turns out they’re also here in Huangli City."

Yun Liao couldn’t help but exclaim.

The world is vast, yet sometimes it’s so small.

Wenping ignored their conversation, glanced at the registration spot, and then said, "You two, go register there. After registering, return to Biyue Inn."

"Sect Leader, you wouldn’t actually want me to take the Ten Talents examination, right?" Yang Lele was immediately disheartened, "But I just wanted to wander with you and eat."

"Just try it out. We’ll leave once you pass the examination." As he said that, Wenping glanced at Yun Liao and continued, "Elder Yun, you register as well."

"Mm!"

Compared to Yang Lele, Yun Liao’s eyes burned with excitement as he looked at the registration spot.

It was clear he had heard of the Ten Talents Trial!

Wenping also thought this was an opportunity for ten thousand people to know about the Immortal Sect.

After the two registered, Wenping took the Mountain Dog towards Biyue Inn.

An incense stick later, Wenping returned to Biyue Inn. But upon coming back, he noticed many eyes looking at him strangely, with glances filled with schadenfreude, and as he walked past, even some envy.

Unable to understand them, Wenping simply headed straight to the third floor.

Upon opening the door, he suddenly heard someone speak, "Oh, what a coincidence!"

Indeed, the one who said this was Luo Mi.

Wenping turned and saw him, paused for a moment, and then asked, "You... weren’t you just in line waiting to register?"

Luo Mi glanced at Wenping in a peculiar way, then said, "In line? Friend, are you okay? Our Chiba Sect is a Two-star Sect; of course, we have direct entry."

Just as he said this, Luo Mi seemed to remember something.

And then he exclaimed!

"Aren’t you the one from the Starless Sect who supposedly lives in the Heaven-numbered room?"
