Han Lingxi bid farewell to her master and sect leader, and went with several disciples of the Yechen Sect to participate in the entrance examination.
Although they were all disciples of the Yechen Sect, the chances of encountering them upon entering the forest were very small, as the teleportation was random. Han Lingxi hadn't considered deliberately seeking them out; it would be best if she could meet them, but it wouldn't matter if she didn't.
Han Lingxi turned on the locator and found that Lu Haoran was still far away.
After entering the forest, Han Lingxi acted according to her memories from her previous life, without going directly to find Lu Haoran. After all, it was safer that way. She would eventually meet Lu Haoran in the place where the Qian Yuan Fire Monkey appeared. She did not forget that there were many academy teachers secretly observing them in the forest. If she went directly to find him, it would be too easy to arouse suspicion.
On the first night, Han Lingxi remembered that the original owner had spent the night in a tree. The forest was more dangerous at night than during the day, so the original owner didn't get much rest. But it was different for her now. Her strength was among the top in this group of students. There were very few creatures in this forest that could threaten her, so Han Lingxi was not going to make herself suffer. She found a cave to rest and also hunted a few first-tier Spirit Crown Rabbits for food.
Han Lingxi started a fire and was just about to roast a rabbit when she heard a noise outside the cave. She could only put down the rabbit she had just skewered and carefully walk to the cave entrance with a dagger in her hand.
In the forest, encountering either monsters or humans is terrifying, because monsters want to eat you, and humans will show no mercy either. Although this is just an assessment, the academy instructors will not intervene if students fight each other, as long as no one dies. After all, the rule of this continent is the survival of the fittest. The infighting in the academy is less intense than outside, but it is still unavoidable.
Han Lingxi was on guard. Although she was confident in her own strength, she was afraid that there were more of them than her opponents, in which case she would definitely suffer.
Clearly, the other party was also on guard. At the corner of the cave entrance, Han Lingxi encountered those people. Han Lingxi stabbed them with her dagger, but she was very careful not to kill them, but to seriously injure them.
Han Lingxi was surprised that her opponent had blocked her attack. In just a few breaths, the two exchanged several blows. Only when the two retreated and stopped fighting did Han Lingxi get a clear look at the person opposite her.
"Brother Haoran."
Han Lingxi spoke in surprise, feeling quite annoyed. It was all her fault for forgetting to check the locator; she hadn't even known that Lu Haoran was nearby.
Lu Haoran, sitting opposite her, also recognized Han Lingxi and looked at her in surprise, but remained silent.
"So you two know each other, Haoran?"
Tong Mengzhi stepped out from behind Lu Haoran and saw that Lu Haoran was staring at Han Lingxi without moving. She then asked a question.
"Yes, they're old friends."
Lu Haoran snapped out of his reverie and simply replied to Tong Mengzhi as a friend, without mentioning the engagement.
As Lu Haoran spoke, he caught a glimpse of Han Lingxi's lips curling up when he uttered the word "friend," and she looked very happy.
"Ding! Affection +10, Total Affection 50."
Lu Haoran knew that Han Lingxi had felt guilty all these years, otherwise she wouldn't have always asked Tuo Tianying to bring him things that were beneficial to his cultivation without leaving her name. She was so happy just because he said she was his friend. She was really easy to please.
Lu Haoran thought to himself that he needed to find an opportunity to make things clear to her. He couldn't blame her for the annulment of the engagement, so that she wouldn't always feel guilty and be so cautious around him.
