"Master, I want to participate in the entrance examination," Qin An said firmly.

"Xiao An, why do you want to take the entrance exam? You could become my personal disciple directly." Shu Lan bent down and looked at Qin An.

“Because…” Qin An’s lips curled up slightly, “I don’t want to embarrass my master.”

"Master, I never imagined you were the grandmaster of the Star River Sect. You are truly amazing. I am so proud to have such a master!" Qin An's eyes shone brighter as he spoke.

"Therefore, I want to bring you honor. I want to be among the top in this entrance exam. Let everyone see that only outstanding disciples are worthy of you, Master!"

“Xiao An, your master understands everything you’ve said. But…”

"Shh..." Qin An extended a finger and placed it on Shu Lan's lips. "Master, please don't say any more. My mind is made up. I won't make things difficult for you."

Seeing Qin An's stubborn look, Shu Lan had no choice but to nod and agree to let him participate in the entrance examination.

Venerable Lieyang's brows relaxed. "In that case, child, go and line up to take the entrance exam."

"Mm." Qin An nodded, turned and left, resolutely walking towards the group down the mountain.

"Hey! Brother Qin, you're here!" Qin An had just reached the last position in the line when Ye Feiyu put his arm around him. "Huh? Where's Brother Shu?" Ye Feiyu looked around but couldn't see Shu Lan anywhere.

Qin An ignored Ye Feiyu and simply waited quietly for the assessment to begin.

"Young Brother Qin, are you also here to participate in the assessment?"

"Hmm." Qin An nodded perfunctorily.

"Which immortal venerable do you wish to become a disciple of?" Ye Feiyu asked Qin An with great interest.

"I already have a master." Qin An said impatiently.

"Then why are you taking the assessment?"

Qin An completely ignored Ye Feiyu this time, remaining unmoved no matter how much Ye Feiyu jumped around.

"Oh, I'm so anxious! Just tell me!" Ye Feiyu asked for a long time without getting a response, and he was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks.

"The Star River Sect entrance examination is now officially beginning." A loud voice resounded throughout the entire valley.

The entrance exam has begun.
