"After this, it's time for other students to pick their academy," Elder Qian looked at the 15 new students behind him. "You may take the time to rest in the city while we do our selection. You have one day left to stay in this city."
"Yess!"
Now that there was nothing they needed to do anymore, each of them rushed back to the city. Everyone has their own thing, so it was obvious that they wished to do them during this spare time. Besides, they might be able to find something interesting in the market by exploring the area.
"Ye Jiao, what do you plan on doing now?"
"Me? I think I want to search for Xin Jie and find out which academy she wished to pick," Ye Jiao replied.
"Ah, right."
"Don't tell her this academy or she'll surely pick the Hua Shan Academy for sure," Lu Wan reminded. He recalled how that woman pressured him to tell her about Ye Jiao's whereabouts because she was worried about her. Even though these two didn't look close as a sworn sister, it was clear that she would be worried about her to the point that she would want to stay with her.
He completely understood Mu Xin's feelings as he used to care for someone so greatly when he was young.
"Ah, that's possible."
"Right? Just let her pick first before you tell her which academy you go to. Anyway, I want to search for more herbs. Hopefully, there will be something new there." Lu Wan smiled as he thought about finding new ingredients.
"Good luck, Lu Wan."
"You too."
Ye Jiao turned to look at Qi Huan. "Actually, I want to know why you pick the Hua Shan Academy, but I guess it should be obvious from the geography, right?"
"You sure did your homework," Qi Huan just smiled. Even though his elemental was water and normally he would be accepted directly into Shui Dao Academy without the need to worry, he didn't pick them. From one perspective, it was weird, but Ye Jiao understood this senior brother of hers very well.
"Well, please take care of me in the future too, Senior Brother Qi."
"Yeah," Qi Huan smiled.
The two of them were selected as Elite Disciple in Hua Shan Academy. It would mean that he would still stay as her senior brother. On the other hand, Lu Wan was pushed back from the position because he was the Core Disciple.
"It'll be funny when Lu Wan needs to call you as a senior sister."
"He needs to get used to it." Ye Jiao giggled. "I'll be going first, Senior Brother Qi. Have fun for the last day."
As soon as they entered the city, they could see thousands of youngsters were rushing to the center of the city. The location of the large academies was in the middle of the city, so it was clear that they would go there. Only a few academies stall left near the outer area.
Time passed.
"Mhm." opening her eyes, the first thing Ye Jiao saw was Mu Xin. That young woman was standing near the entrance, which was right in front of her.
"You're finished?"
"Ah," Ye Jiao hurriedly stood up. She looked in Mu Xin's direction with slight embarrassment. "Sorry, I was thinking of searching for you after I have finished. My training lasts longer than I expected."
"It's fine," Mu Xin smiled. "I have already finished my registration, so let's head back and rest. It's already night time."
"Oh?"
Looking at the dark sky, Ye Jiao was thinking about her practice just now. The elders told her that she would have it harder to concentrate, and it seemed to be true. Normally, she would be able to last until morning, but it was still night time.
"I won't be able to see you a lot, though." Mu Xin patted Ye Jiao's head. "You seem to be growing even faster."
"I'm already 11." Ye Jiao grinned. "Isn't it normal that I'm in my growth period?"
"Yeah." Mu Xin smiled slightly. "I'm attending Hua Shan Academy, which academy did you pick?"
Ye Jiao's body stiffened in surprise. "That's the same with me."
When the top 100 began selecting their academy, the other youngsters would also begin to pick theirs. Because no one wanted to be late, they practically rushed over to the direction of the academy's stall location. Naturally, it included Mu Xin.
"Oh? I guess you're going to be my senior sister," Mu Xin found it slightly funny. She was clearly the older one and also the older sworn sister, but she would have to call Ye Jiao as her senior sister in the future. She wondered what kind of expression Ye Jiao would have if she did greet her with that.
Ye Jiao's expression crumbled. "Just call me directly with my name. I will feel uncomfortable if you didn't, Xin Jie."
"Hahaha, fine."
Seeing the laughter in Mu Xin's usually cold face, a small smile was formed in Ye Jiao's lips. She didn't know why, but Mu Xin always has a stern and cold look in her expression. It made her wonder how this sister of hers could possibly make herself look so stern all the time like that.
"You look prettier when you laugh, Xin Jie."
"You have a sweet mouth, Ye Jiao."
"Ehehehe."
….
Early in the morning, Ye Jiao gathered outside the gate once more. She finally understood that there was so much more disciple that the academy had accepted. Looking at the rows of students behind her, there must be thousands of them.
"Most of them are Inner and Outer Disciples. Of course, the number of Outer Disciple is the most," Qi Huan looked over to them. "Once you're out of top 100, you won't be able to be directly accepted as Core Disciple or Elite Disciple."
"I see."
It was no wonder that everyone was dying to be able to reach the top 100. Even though it was not impossible for them to be promoted in the middle, it would take a long time. After all, directly accepted as core or Elite Disciple would let them access much more facilities and naturally, resources.
Lu Wan yawned. "Well, I'll catch up with you two soon. At that time, I'll surely advance faster."
"You?" Qi Huan scanned the young man's body. "With your pitiful strength, you should just focus on making sure that you don't get kicked out as a Core Disciple. You should have known that the number of Core Disciples is limited, right?"
"Wait." Lu Wan's expression changed. "It's limited?"
"Yes, there are only 100 Core Disciples each year."
The familiar voice nearly caused the three of them to trip over nothing. Chills rise on the back of their spine as they slowly turn their head around. A young man with black hair was looking at them with a smiling expression. Playful glint was apparent on his golden pupil.
"Qin….Zheng?"
"You…?"
"Yes?" Qin Zheng tilted his head as if there was nothing wrong. Looking at their expression, one must have guessed that they had seen a ghost.
"What are you doing here?" Qi Huan finally blurted out.
Qin Zheng blinked. "Didn't you hear my introduction before? I'm an Elite Disciple in Mount Hua Academy."
"But… it's Mount Hua, not Hua Shan!" Lu Wan nearly screamed.
Ye Jiao was also looking at Qin Zheng with disbelief all over her face. Mount Hua. Hua Shan. That was basically the same thing! (Hua Shan = Mount Hua. Shan = mountain, Hua = flower)
She nearly crouched on the ground for her stupidity. Even though it was so obvious, she didn't realize it until she saw Qin Zheng standing in front of her with his nonchalant expression.
If only she knew he was here, she would have picked the other academy!
Eh wait, the one with the best offer is the Hua Shan Academy… Ye Jiao suddenly faced a dilemma inside her mind. Well, there was no way she could change the past, she had to accept going to the same academy as him.
Qin Zheng smirked. "Nice to meet with you two, my junior disciples."
"..." wipe that smug expression out of your face.
Elder Qian rubbed his chin when he saw their interaction. "As I thought, Little Zheng, you already know them?"
"I met with them in the Four Kingdoms," Qin Zheng replied honestly. "Also, when will we depart, Elder Qian?"
"Now."
As Elder Qian created an array for them to go, Ye Jiao turned her head back in the direction of the city. From now on, she would go to a wider world. A completely different world.
Yeah, her journey has just started.
