It is said that time flies when cultivating immortality. Five months may seem like a long time to mortals, but for cultivators, it is almost as short as the blink of an eye.
Early that morning, Xuejie and Jinyun, who had not gone into seclusion, had just finished a fight. One of them was lying on the roof, and the other was lying on the stone table in the courtyard, glaring at each other.
Just as their anger was escalating and they were about to start another fight to vent their pent-up rage, the restrictions on the courtyard were triggered from the outside. Since their place was remote, the only person who could knock on the door was Jiang Wu.
So Jin Yun waved his hand lightly, and the restriction was opened. Sure enough, Jiang Wu, who was panting heavily, rushed in. He seemed to be in a great hurry and didn't even have time to rest before he said breathlessly.
"Senior Xuejie, Senior Jinyun, are you there? Lingxin Academy has announced that registration jade tokens will be issued in three days."
After finishing his explanation, Jiang Wu seemed relieved. He then picked up the teapot on the table and hurriedly drank several mouthfuls of water, as he was exhausted from running.
Since all the inns were full during this period, he naturally changed his work as well. He has been busy running errands and inquiring about the Lingxin Academy's registration jade tokens.
He had barely arrived at the city gate when his friends informed him that Lingxin Academy had issued an announcement that formal registration would begin in three days.
Upon receiving the news, he immediately rushed back to deliver the message.
The main reason is that he has become familiar with Xue Jie and Jin Yun over the past few months. Both of them are generous and friendly. They don't like to go out to buy things themselves, so they give spirit stones to Jiang Wu to go out and buy things for them.
Jiang Wu knew the two men's personalities and was worried that they might miss the Lingxin Academy's enrollment if they didn't go out and hear the news. So he rushed over as soon as he heard the news.
As it turned out, his concerns were indeed correct; both Xuejie and Jin Yun were surprised after hearing this.
Then he rushed to a room and called Lu Li and Shushu, completely forgetting about Jiang Wu, the messenger.
Seeing this, Jiang Wu knew they were anxious, but he wasn't annoyed. He patiently continued to guard the place and also helped them watch the door.
Soon, Lu Li and Shu Shu, who were in seclusion, were called out by the two. The four of them gathered together, and only after seeing Jiang Wu still there did Xue Jie and Jin Yun belatedly express their gratitude.
Upon seeing this, Lu Li frowned slightly, preparing to turn back and have the clever Tian Luo take good care of them, before talking to Jiang Wu on his own.
After clarifying all the circumstances and asking about some minor details, Lu Li gave him five spirit stones as a thank-you gift and personally saw him out.
Only after watching Jiang Wu run far away did Lu Li close the courtyard gate and look at Xue Jie and Jin Yun with a serious expression.
This was the first time Lu Li had ever been so serious. Not only Xue Jie and Jin Yun, who were being looked at by him, but even Shu Shu quietly moved several steps to the side, trying to get out of Lu Li's sight.
Lu Li naturally noticed her little actions, but since it really had nothing to do with Shushu, he ignored it and continued to frown at Xuejie and Jin Yun.
The two people watching couldn't help but tremble; there was no way around it, Lu Li's aura was just too strong.
Even though their cultivation levels were actually comparable to his, they still cowered without any backbone under Lu Li's powerful aura.
Immediately afterward, Jin Yun, still trembling after being pinched hard by Xue Jie, asked, "Your Majesty, what...what is it?"
The stammering tone made Lu Li frown even more, and he once again felt regret for bringing this guy out of the Bert Desert.
But now that things have come to this, there's no point in throwing it back. He could only rub his temples helplessly, put on a serious expression, and look at the millet that was already growing mushrooms in the corner.
"Junior Sister, could you give me Tianluo?"
Shushu was startled by the sudden call and trembled. Meeting Lu Li's helpless gaze, she said somewhat awkwardly, "Okay, okay."
After replying, she didn't even bother to greet Tianluo before pulling him out and shoving him into Lu Li's arms.
Thus, the Heavenly Net, with a bunch of spiritual fruits still wrapped around its vines, hung on Lu Li, adding a considerable amount of weight for no reason.
Looking back at the culprit, Lu Li met an awkward, ingratiating smile and could only hand Tian Luo a storage bag, telling it to put all the spirit fruits inside.
Then, Lu Li called Xue Jie and Jin Yun over, pointed out their shortcomings, and told them to learn more from Tian Luo. In this way, Tian Luo gained two more students to be taught.
Having learned from the example of Jiu Ruo, and to prevent two more chatterboxes from appearing around Shushu, I quickly spoke up to remind him, and also called out my ancestor to supervise him.
With that, the matter was temporarily resolved, and the next step was for them to participate in the Lingxin Academy's assessment.
According to the plan, Xuejie and Jinyun did not intend to participate in the entrance examination. After all, they were socially awkward and could not guarantee that they would not reveal their spirit beast identities.
Anyway, students are allowed to bring contracted beasts when they enroll. If necessary, they can just let them appear as contracted beasts.
As long as they don't transform in front of people, there are currently very few people who can tell whether a spirit beast will transform through its appearance, so there is naturally no hidden danger in this regard.
After discussing everything, Shushu and Luli did not go into seclusion again. Following Jiang Wu's suggestion, they rested for another day in the courtyard and left the city early the next morning.
It can only be said that Lingxin Academy truly lives up to its reputation as the number one academy in the Middle Thousand Worlds, and its enrollment process is incredibly lively and grand.
Starting from the North City gate, there was a very long procession leaving the city. The route from outside the North City to Lingxin Academy was even more crowded.
Not only were there people walking on the ground, but the sky above was also densely packed with people traveling on swords or in beast-drawn carriages.
The senior and junior disciples were originally walking slowly on the ground with the flow of people, but after discovering that most of the people walking were below the Nascent Soul stage, they realized that they were in a different situation.
They quietly found a suitable corner, released their natal swords, and flew through the air, slowly merging into the sword-wielding group.
Flying is definitely faster than walking, and the senior and junior disciples soon arrived at the entrance of Lingxin Academy. It was a huge square, and at the end of the square was the magnificent gate of Lingxin Academy.
The two students exchanged glances without saying a word, and silently joined the queue.
Almost the instant they joined the group, a familiar voice came from behind them.
