Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
After what Yin Hao said, Bei Gong Tang finally took Yin Lan and Bei Gong Hang and left the Yin Clan. However, while the Yin Clan family head agreed to let them leave, he did not let them break off from the clan. They names were left on the register.
Bei Gong Tang saw that Yin Lan was rather hesitant to leave the Yin Clan as well, and agreed. In any case, as long as Yin Lan was not in the clan, she wouldn’t be bullied.
As such, the group of them quickly left Autumn Moon City and headed to Heavenly City.
Heavenly City was the biggest city in the central area. There were many powers in the city. There were even more powers gathered outside the city, and there was much more than the other cities.
When Sima You Yue and the others reached Heavenly City, they found an inn to settle down in. After which, they did not go to Heavenly Sect, but found a house near the school area. It would become the place that they would stay in for the period.
Sima Lie, Sang Mu Yu and Yin Lan did not want to go to the sect. Furthermore, Ximen Feng was too old for it, and there was no way for him to join it. There was a courtyard outside, and they could live there once in a while. You Yue and the others would also stay here whenever they wouldn’t be in the sect.
The courtyard they bought wasn’t that big. The front and back of it was just a combination of a few small courtyards. Furthermore, because it was close to the school, the price was sky high. It was a good thing that Sima You Yue happened to have four million middle ranked crystals stones left. It was only after spending almost all of it that she managed to buy this courtyard.
There was about a month before they enrolled new students into the school, so Sima You Yue and the others used the time to familiarise themselves with Heavenly City.
Heavenly City was the largest city in the largest area in the Central Area. The distance between the north and south had a hundred thousand kilometers, as was the east and west.?Even if you stood at the top of the highest structure, you would not be able to see the end of it.
The East of the Heavenly Sect’s City was close to the heart of the north and south. That was why it was not very far away from the South and North Cities. One could head there and back on the back of a spirit beast within the same day. It was a lot further to head to the western part of the city.
The heart of the city had an area that was neither classified as the eastern nor western part. It was the more flourishing area of the city. Those who were able to enter this part of the city were not the average powers. Furthermore, there was one rule there, which was that you were not allowed to fight. The moment you were discovered to have done so, you would be blacklisted by every power.
Furthermore, the ones who could come in here did not dare do as they wished. That was because the shops here were not places anyone could just mess with.
Sima You Yue and the others were wondering around these few days. Even if they didn’t buy or look at anything, and were merely riding the spirit beasts for one round around the place, they only finished covering the area after a few days.
This day, Sima You Yue, Sima Lie, Sima You Lin and Wu Lingyu had gone to Memory Restaurant in the heart of the city. After entering, they let the manager take a look at a nameplate, then he took them to a house in the back courtyard.
“Your subordinate greets you, Second Master.” The manager bowed to Sima You Yue, “Your subordinate has received the master’s instructions and has been waiting for your arrival.”
“Manager He, you do not need to be so formal. You can just call me You Yue.” Sima You Yue waved her hands, “I came this time to see how things are going.”
Before Qin Mo had left, he initially wanted to give her the entire memory restaurant. He said that she was the reason why he had opened them in the first place. She had rejected it, so Qin Mo said that they would manage it with her. As such, she would become the second in charge of Memory Restaurant.
She saw the dedication in his eyes and understood and he wanted to let her have a backer, as well as an income, so that she would know that he could be relied on if any thing happened in the future.
“You Yue, I don’t want the same disastrous thing to happen again.” He said with heartache.
She gave in, and eventually accepted his gesture.
“Your subordinate has the accounts book ready for Young Lord to peruse.” Manager He said.
“No need.” Sima You yue said, “You can just continue to do as you have done before. If anything happens, just tell me. I do not need to look at these things.”
“Understood.”
“This is my grandfather. In the future, you may look for my grandfather if anything crops up. We’re currently living on Banyan Street.” Sima You Yue said while pointing to Sima Lie.
“Your subordinate understands.” Manager He replied.
“Manager, how much do you know about the enrolment of Heavenly Sect members?” Sima You Yue asked.
“Does you,Lord, wish to enroll?” Manager He asked.
“Yes, I’ve heard that the sect isn’t bad, so I want to go and learn for a bit.” Sima You Yue said with a smile.
“The sect really isn’t bad. It’s one of the forerunners of the ancient primordial lands. There are many from the inner regions who come here to learn.” Manager He said, “Aside from having to be less than a hundred years old, new recruits have to pass a few tests. It is only after passing these tests that one is able to join the sect.”
“Do you know what they will test?”
Manager He shook his head, “The contents of the tests have always been a secret. One only knows the test after it is over. Every test is different. There is also no way to get the contents of the test from those who have taken it before.”
After asking a few more questions related to the sect, she left after getting a good summary of it.
On the way back, she saw quite a few youths discussing about the matter of enrolling. She guessed that they had also come here to enrol as new students.
“So many have come to participate in this, this time. However, they are only accepting a hundred people. I can just imagine the level of competition.” Sima You Yeu could not help but sigh.
“Even if the competition is intense, I?believe that we will be able to enter.” Sima You Yue said confidently.
She didn’t believe in herself alone. She also believed in her Sima Brothers, Bei Gong Tang and the others. Everyone had gone through so much, so there was definitely no problem with their attitudes. They also had talent, and also, after cultivating in the spirit pagoda for so long, their strength wasn’t bad within the hundred year range. It should be no problem at all for them to pass the tests.
“Sigh, have you heard? Many geniuses have come to enrol as well!”
“Really? Who?”
“You actually didn’t hear?” That person cried out with shock, “I’ve heard that aside from the geniuses who came from the outer regions, there are also the geniuses from the South Desolation, North Mo, East Domain and Western Liang.”
“Really? Then the fight this year will be intense!”
“Of course…”
The two of them walked and talked, while Sima You Yue and the others who heard the news unwittingly could only stare at their backs, sighing at the increase in difficulty!
After heading back, Sima You Yue and the others told the rest about the news they had gotten today. Each of them had a solemn expression as the pressure intensified.
“Everyone, there’s no need to worry. If we can enter, then we’ll do so. If we can’t, there’s no need to be disheartened. The road to cultivation is long. This is merely one single stretch.” Sima Lie said.
“Grandfather is right. We’ll do our best. Even if we can’t enter, we will not regret.” Sima You Qi said.
Amidst everyone’s excitement, the day of the Heavenly Sect’s new student enrolment drew near. Even Sima You Le and the others couldn’t reign in their excitement as the group of them stayed in the house, eating and chatting.
Sima You Yue took two cups of wine and came beside Wu Lingyu, handing him a cup.
“Senior, aren’t you going to prepare to head back?”
“I said that I would be with you. Just wait for Mo Sha to wake up.” Wu Lingyu smiled as he drank it in one shot.
“You want to enrol in there with us?” Sima You Yue looked at Wu Lingyu with shock. She didn’t wait for him to reply before saying confidently, “You’re definitely not less than a hundred years old. You don’t qualify.”
Wu Lingyu dashed in front of Sima You Yue, the two of them so close that they could smell the wine on their breath.
“Do you, my Junior Brother, want me to be with you?”
