Li Mu felt that he needed to explain to Bai Tao, but the assessment of Shengtian Academy was about to begin, and Li Mu didn't have time to continue chatting with him, so he said: "Old Bai, please find a place to rest first, and I will come to you when I am done."

Bai Tao nodded repeatedly upon hearing this and said, "Brother Li Mu, go ahead and do your work. I'll just wait for you here. Hehe, this annual Shengtian Academy assessment is a great opportunity to make a fortune. I'll wait for you for a while."

Are you kidding? How could he possibly take a break during such a big event as the Shengtian Academy exam? Before the exam, he could get a reward by saying a few nice words to the candidates. If he met a candidate who passed the exam, he would be rewarded even more generously. Begging here for one day could equal several months of normal time. That was why he was reluctant to give up.

Although Li Mu had just given him tens of thousands of yuan, what good would tens of thousands of yuan do to him compared to his countless years of life? How many days would he squander? Relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself. Only if one can have a steady income can one survive in the endless years. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. He still understands this principle.

Li Mu shook his head at Bai Tao's persistence and said nothing more. After all, this was Bai Tao's deep-rooted thought for tens of thousands of years, and he certainly couldn't change it for a while. Just like when Bai Tao asked him to join the Begging Union a few days ago, wasn't he also extremely disdainful? He felt that he could get out, but others had no reason to believe him. After all, hundreds of millions of bigwigs in the Qiongzu universe couldn't do it, so why should Bai Tao believe that he could?

Li Mu said goodbye to Bai Tao in a hurry and strode towards the gate of Shengtianyuan not far away. Bai Tao stood in the distance, watching Li Mu pay for admission, and shook his head: "This idiot, why spend so much money to be humiliated? It's better to have a few more good meals with that money."

…

Together with Li Mu was Ning Xin. Unsurprisingly, she also came to take the test, but she registered online and booked it half a year in advance. Therefore, the registration fee was lower than Li Mu's, only yuan, while Li Mu paid the full price.

Ning Xin had a very strong prejudice against Li Mu. She felt that Li Mu not only deceived her sympathy, but also was an unkind man who took advantage of his wealth to insult the beggars' personality. However, she couldn't help but follow Li Mu. After all, she was unfamiliar with the place. At least she knew Li Mu a little bit. Although his character was not very good, he was not a bad person at least. One more person meant one more companion.

The venue was already packed with people at this time, and they were queuing in an orderly manner, waiting for the assessment to begin.

Taking advantage of this time, Ning Xin asked Li Mu with some confusion: "Who are you? Are you familiar with that beggar?"

She was angry before and ignored the way Li Mu and Bai Tao addressed each other. Only now did she realize that they must know each other. She always felt that Bai Tao looked familiar. Now that she thought about it, wasn't Bai Tao the beggar who begged at the station that night? She also taught Li Mu to learn from Bai Tao.

She was naturally very puzzled as to why a rich man like Li Mu would wear beggar's clothes and hang out with a beggar.

Hearing Ning Xin's question, Li Mu smiled and said, "Who do you think I am?"

Ning Xin shook her head: "I don't know, maybe a bored rich second generation?"

"Haha, that's it." Li Mu laughed. He didn't explain. After all, his identity as a fifth-class citizen was not easy to explain. Ning Xin looked silly at first glance. If he talked about it with others, it would only cause trouble for him.

The reason why he let Ning Xin follow him was, firstly, because Ning Xin was a good person, at least that night she really wanted to help him, and secondly, he accidentally discovered that Ning Xin had very good qualifications, and was very suitable for cultivation, even many times better than any so-called "genius" he had ever seen. This kind of physique was beyond his cognition, and there was no such person in his Lingxiao Universe. If she was in the Qiongzu Universe, Ning Xin would definitely grow into a super boss if nothing unexpected happened. He would naturally not let such a genius go, and he would definitely absorb her into the Lingxiao Universe.

Of course, this world is completely opposite to the Qiongzu Universe. Ning Xin's extraordinary talent in cultivating immortals means that she has no chance of becoming a martial artist. She will definitely return disappointed if she comes to participate in this assessment today. However, Li Mu looked at her expectant look and did not point it out, otherwise Ning Xin would definitely turn against her on the spot.

In fact, among so many people present, only a few could pass the test. Even if Ning Xin failed, it was normal. But if he told others directly that his qualifications were low, they would naturally not be happy, and they would not believe it.

Shaking his head, Li Mu stopped thinking about it and asked Ning Xin, "Xiao Ning, I see that people from other places who come to take the test come in groups, why are you alone?"

Ning Xin smiled bitterly: "My hometown is too remote, and there are not many people of my age. They either came to participate in the assessment two years ago, or their families can't afford the registration fee. They can only wait and come back after collecting the registration fee and travel expenses."

"Since we are so poor, do we have to take the test? The probability of passing the test is so low that not only one out of ten thousand people can pass. Why waste the money?" Li Mu was puzzled.

"You are a rich second-generation, so of course you don't understand. If you pass the test, you will be promoted to third-class citizens, and then your whole family will be able to turn things around. This is the only chance for us ordinary people to turn things around." Ning Xin rolled her eyes.

"Also, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are a rich second-generation. You can rely on your status to disrespect beggars, but third-class citizens and above can also insult you at will. No matter how rich you are, you are only a fourth-class citizen." Ning Xin added.

Li Mu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Did you pass the assessment and become a third-class citizen just to oppress ordinary people?"

Ning Xin heard this and said anxiously: "No, I will not bully ordinary people. I just want to use my own strength to change the status quo. My ideal is to make this world free of oppression and equality for all! Passing the assessment and practicing martial arts is not to become a superior person, but to make sure that there are no superior people in the world!"

Speaking of this, Ning Xin's eyes revealed determination.
