CHAPTER 1236: CHAPTER 1234 SELF-KNOWLEDGE (3 UPDATES)

Huang Chen didn’t continue speaking. He noticed the intentions of Su Chen and Lin Yanran, feeling extremely angry inside, but he still held back. Well, everything will be said during the assessment. It’ll be interesting.

Next, everyone’s speed increased a bit. Along the way, the forest was dense, lush trees gathered in groups, and clouds swirled, Yanxu Mountain was very large.

Moreover, they encountered many other martial cultivators heading to the assessment.

About two Shichen later.

They arrived!!!

The first place they entered was a dense forest.

This is Yanxu Forest, a dense forest one must pass through before entering Yanxu Palace. It’s not simple, as it’s said to contain nine thousand formations, three hundred secret realms, and four Spirit Vein mines.

Yanxu Palace is indeed rich and powerful!

Yanxu Forest has many functions for Yanxu Palace, the most important being the assessment.

When Su Chen and his group arrived, the entire Yanxu Forest was already packed with people, densely crowded.

There really are a lot of martial cultivators participating in the assessment!

Su Chen looked out, seeing geniuses like ants, nearly all were at the First Level of the Eternal Ancient Realm, with a few directly at the Second Level or even the Third Level. As for those like Ying Tianxia and Woe Lingyun, who are capable of competing for the top ranks, it’s even more terrifying. However, clearly, Ying Tianxia, Woe Lingyun, and others had not yet appeared.

Though there were many people in Yanxu Forest, it was very quiet. No one dared to be noisy in Yanxu Forest.

Everyone waited patiently.

After a while.

Suddenly, the air turned three degrees colder!

Then, a young man appeared. He was alone, one person, one blade, carrying a broadsword on his back. His hair was unexpectedly red, looking as if dyed with fresh blood, and the evil Qi surrounding him was extraordinarily cold.

His appearance was rather handsome, but his skin was too pale, giving a sickly impression. No matter what, it was very frightening, his gaze was calm, but within the calmness was a wild beast’s sense of oppression.

In Yanxu Forest, everyone stared at him.

"Zheng Tianqiong, a Loose Cultivator? Likes killing people?" muttered Su Chen.

"Watch closely. If you encounter him on Assessment Island, don’t resist. Hand over everything he demands, maybe you can save your life. Absolutely have no thought of resisting or trying to escape; he is Zheng Tianqiong," Huang Chen whispered, glancing at Lin Yanran, then at the people from the Lin Family and Huang Family, explaining.

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. Even if Huang Chen hadn’t said it, they would have done so.

The next moment.

Another person appeared, an extraordinarily handsome man. Surprisingly, he was alone too.

Thick eyebrows, white teeth...

Gentle smile.

An imposing aura.

Especially those eyes, as if carrying the Stars, very bright, just one look and you’d fall deep into them.

He too was alone, but his hands were placed behind him, giving a transcendent air.

His appearance caused a stir in Yanxu Forest.

Especially many women, who couldn’t help but stare intently at him with bright eyes.

Huang Chen took a deep breath, seemingly excited and nervous. Then, he said solemnly, "He is Young Master Bei!!!"

Immediately, the people from the Lin Family and Huang Family, their eyes trembled, especially Huang Siyu. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Bei Buxiu, unable to move away.

Unexpectedly, Bei Buxiu also came alone, which was odd. Unlike Zheng Tianqiong, Bei Buxiu wasn’t a Loose Cultivator. The Qingyi Sect he belonged to could directly recommend more than a hundred spots, and Qingyi Sect was a First-Order Power. But today, only Bei Buxiu came for the assessment? Where were the others? Of course, this peculiarity could only be kept in one’s mind; no one dared to ask.

"Follow me to greet Young Master Bei," Huang Chen suddenly lowered his voice. "Make sure to behave well. First, don’t be too nervous and embarrass me. Second, show respect, utmost respect. Third, don’t speak too much; follow my lead."

"Let’s not go," Lin Yanran spoke up. She didn’t want to follow Bei Buxiu during the assessment, so there was no need to greet him now.

"It’s better to go, Yanran. If you can speak to him," Huang Siyu urged anxiously.

"Yanran, listen to me, even if during the assessment, you don’t follow Young Master Bei, greeting him is a good idea. If you encounter him on Assessment Island, having met once, he likely won’t attack you," Huang Chen advised. The most dangerous thing during the assessment wasn’t the island itself but the danger between the students.

Lin Yanran didn’t speak further because Huang Chen made sense. Just getting acquainted without following through was still worth considering.

"Miss, listen to Young Master Huang," Lin Hua and the Lin Family members also advised. To have a chance to meet Bei Buxiu, and to miss it, would be regretful. They wanted to follow Huang Chen to meet Bei Buxiu, but if Miss Lin Yanran was unwilling, they couldn’t go.

"Alright." Lin Yanran was silent for a moment and nodded.

"I’ll stay here," Su Chen spoke at this moment.

"Heh... at least you have some self-awareness, knowing you’re not in Young Master Bei’s league," Huang Chen chuckled, no longer hiding his disdain and anger towards Su Chen, especially now that Bei Buxiu had appeared, making him reveal more of his nature.

Su Chen glanced at Huang Chen and didn’t retort, well, everything will be said on Assessment Island.

"Waste," seeing her brother scold Su Chen so, and that Su Chen didn’t refute at all, Huang Siyu looked down on him even more. Being a man, look at Bei Buxiu, then look at Su Chen; she was thoroughly disgusted. How could there be such a huge gap?

Lin Yanran also gave Su Chen a glance, with a slight sense of strangeness. She thought Su Chen wasn’t the timid type, but Su Chen endured Huang Chen’s mockery, which was a bit disappointing. She initially thought Su Chen had his personality, maybe giving a little surprise, especially since Uncle Lin highly respected Su Chen.

Unexpectedly...

Nonetheless, Lin Yanran’s emotions only fluctuated a little, and then she ignored it, as she wasn’t really moved by or in love with Su Chen.

"Let’s go," next second, Huang Chen disdainfully glanced at Su Chen once more, then led the people from the Huang Family and Lin Family toward Bei Buxiu.

In an instant.

Huang Chen and the group became the focal point.

Everyone could see that Huang Chen and the others were going toward Bei Buxiu, and many directly guessed that these twenty-something people probably knew Bei Buxiu, right? It was truly enviable.

Knowing Bei Buxiu!!! As long as in the assessment, Bei Buxiu gave a little care, regardless of the score, at least their lives would be safe, right?
